Tonight’s Walk: A Haiku
I took this photo on my walk this evening. As it’s still spring with flowers blooming like mad, that’s been my current focus, photography-wise. The haiku just felt right.
I’m looking forward to branching out further afield as the corona virus restrictions abate. I’m looking forward to getting back to downtown Edmonds, I do miss it so.
What are youlooking forward to add life returns to some semblance of normal, or a new normal.

I’m facing infinity
a star through the clouds
