Where wind and wave collide

With wind blowing strong
These bold and daring people
Weren’t cowed by this storm

I wrote this haiku watching these two ignore cold and rain, dancing where wind and wave collide.

This Sunlit Sunday 

​Walking upon the shore

Sunlight landing upon my face 

My skin warm, nicely so

Friend talk, warmed hearts 

And children yet again taller 

Than a moment ago 

Evoking parental wonder, and triggering

Eternal frustration for children 

Sun Stretched Upon The Cold Wind

The sun stretches me
Solar motion elongates
Sun in brutal cold


Walking along the Edmonds Waterfront. With the strong wind from the north, the air was brisk, cold. Bright and sunny later in the day, which made our mid-afternoon walk much more pleasant.

An evening walk

As the darkness falls
Light echoing the day’s joy
Fading to slumber

Dusk

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

As night descends
Summer’s air cools
I enjoy tranquility
A moment, flowing
Quickly, as life
Demands attention
Westward colors
Embrace the sky
Smoke, and other
Things, transcend
To beauty

Steel Magic Northwest is close to meeting their Kickstarter Goal

Steel Magic Northwest is a great local group (located in Edmonds) that provides access to music for a number of youth and adults. I know a number of kids, and adults, who benefit greatly. And they have a great time! The music is brilliant and the audience is having a grand time, too.

 

They’re using Kickstarter to fund their summer program, so I highly encourage you to head over to their site and give them a few dollars. They’re doing a all or nothing campaign for $3,000, and are at $2,910. Just $90 more dollars! Now, the campaign ends Friday (June 30th), so I (again) encourage…nay, implore you to head over right now and help this program do amazing for our community this Summer.

Flowers at the Market 

I love these markets
Flowers have a special place
Portable beauty

Today in Edmonds 

Into the expanse 

Blue water, sky and mountains 

Converge in sunlight
