Today’s haiku

just a few dark clouds 
a rain squall abruptly forms
soon the sun returns

Tonight’s Haiku

the sunlight fading
while the grace of spring flowers
bursts upon the trees

This evening’s haiku

A flower photo with a honey bee
with hints of summer 
watching the vigor of bees
as the springtime fades

This photo was taken in my front yard. The bees were quite taken with these flowers. This was shot with my Samsung S22.

I’m quite pleased with the results I get with this phone. It’s been amazing.

It’s feeling like summer here, just north of Seattle. It’s wonderful. But I’m right at the point of shifting from complaining about the cold to complaining about the heat. The comfortable temperature range for Seattle’s is between 65 & 75.

I hope you’re enjoying your weekend! May it exceed your expectations.

Morning Dew

Blossoms
barefoot through the grass
with the dew cooling my toes
breeze through the blossoms

Cherry Blossoms In The Sunlight


through fading sunlight
dusk moves through cherry blossoms
now petals falling

Fallen Blossoms, A Haiku

Fallen Blossoms
Fallen Blossoms

even though they fight
petals fall upon the ground
springtime fades to dust

Fallen Blossoms

Fallen Blossoms
Fallen Blossoms


through today’s rain
spring and summer soon will fuse
through falling blossoms

I shot this one near my house. The shape and structure of this tree are just lovely, and the ground covered with fallen blossoms seemed a perfect metaphor while spring is supplanted by summer.

Blessings on the Wind

Cherry Blossoms

as spring moves forward
sunlight dancing on blossoms
blessings on the wind

Blossoms in the Breeze

upon the spring breeze

blossoms gracefully dancing

within the sunlight

Blossoms Fading

fallen petals

springtime passing by
now branches filling with leaves
blossom petals shed


I’m noticing the cherry blossoms, oh so recently bursting forth, starting to fall. It is one their beauties, their fragility, their temporary presence. Emergence to vanished is such a short window.
