An evening haiku

Tonight’s haiku

at the day’s ending
sunlight fades into the sea
gentle grace of night

Today’s Morning Haiku

with my morning tea
the gentlest of breezes
sunlight through the clouds

I love calm mornings. Today, Seattle’s weather seems to be pivoting from rain to partially cloudy. Blue skies punctuated with white clouds. Summer’s heat abated, whether temporarily or for the rest of the year is uncertain, but I’ll take the respite.

Autumn Approaches

Today's haiku
orange and red leaves
as i gaze out my window
glories of autumn

The maple just outside my office window already shows autumn colors. Of course, September approaches quickly. Less than a week (Sunday) brings the new month. As tempting as it might be to make some reference to the passing of time, it doesn’t feel very creative.

Tonight’s haiku

after the rainfall 
sunlight moves from behind clouds
summer reaches far

This morning’s haiku

A morning haiku
in the early morn
long before the birds arise
listening for grace

Tonight’s Haiku

Honey bee upon a flower

gentle honeybee
dancing upon the petals
moments of summer


Saw this flower with the honey bee on my way out to my car. One of the great joys of summer.

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.

Spring berries, a haiku


glorious red drops
resting against the blue sky
sunlight after rain

Today’s Haiku, April 2. 2024

My rhododendron
a burst of sunlight 
feeding the new spring flowers
a break in the rain
