looking for heaven
feeling sunlight and a breeze
here amongst the trees

I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
Today’s haiku

into the spring sky
my gaze drifting into where
yesterday's clouds were
Spring berries, a haiku

glorious red drops
resting against the blue sky
sunlight after rain
Today’s Haiku, April 2. 2024

a burst of sunlight
feeding the new spring flowers
a break in the rain
March 23, 2024

while the raindrops fall
this day of rest progresses
into the night’s grace
Rain filled this day, and my energy level was, well, absent. But I clearly needed rest. So, I rested. A gift to myself, I guess.
Tonight’s Haiku

wonders of daylight as slowly the sun descends and spring now begins
I took this photo on my evening walk along the waterfront in Edmonds. Sunsets over the Olympics are some of my favorites.

cherry blossoms take over
within sun drenched skies
I took this photo on my walk today.
Tonight’s Haiku, March 14, 2024

sunset’s grace on the mountains
the air turns colder
I took this photo on my walk this evening along Edmonds’ Marina Beach. Is one of my favorite places, period. Some of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen are looking out at the Olympic Mountains of Washington.
Oh, and happy Pi Day, for those who celebrate.
Today’s Haiku, March 2, 2024

the dance of sunlight
through the rain and falling snow
winter’s grip remains
I took this photo on my walk this afternoon. One filed with rain and snow, abs a stop for coffee.
Tonight’s Haiku
crocuses arise
finding their way upwards
after the show melts
