today’s haiku

the gift of late spring
as the flowers start to fade
under the blue skies

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.

An Early Morning Haiku

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

Today’s haiku

One of my Rhoddie’s

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

My rhododendron
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.
