Flowers in the cruel sunlight


into August's sun
with it's cruel grip upon us
gentle beauty grows

A Walk In The Woods

A walk in the woods

a winter walk
calmness amongst the trees
crows chattering

A Walk In The Woods

A Walk In The Woods

through the nearby woods
the way, today, much drier
moving through winter

A Blustery Day

sprinting clouds move past
trees bow, respecting the wind
leaves racing downwards

A Mushroom Haiku

Mushroom Haiku
rising from the earth
filled with the fragrance of soil
hidden from sunlight

Found this mushroom on one of my walks last week. Edited the photo as well as created the design in Adobe Spark. Font: Lora.

Autumnal Rain

Autumnal Rain: A Haiku

summer’s grace
in autumnal rain
forgotten

Walking in a neighborhood park past play equipment that often fills with delighted children, now sits empty. Have children forgotten such things?

Tonight’s Haiku: July 14, 2020

movement of my feet
scenes along these quiet streets
suburban whimsy

I came across the cover photo on this evening’s walk. I’ve seen it before, and really get a kick out if it.

It’s really feeling like summer in Seattle. It really hasn’t had the feel until the past few days. Fortunately, it’s not too hot. I’m truly acclimatized to these moderate climes.

Haiku: July 5, 2020

This evening’s walk
Gravity pulls the sunlight
Looking westward

A Spring Haiku

a riot of blossoms

celebration of new life

soon fluttering down

I walk by this tree regularly. It’s been daily during the lockdown. Spring is fully on. The blossoms lovely, temporary. Perhaps that’s part of their; their impermanence. So very Zen of me, I guess. 

Sidewalk in Black & White

my movement is life
concrete underneath my feet
sunlight through the clouds

Shot the photo while on a walk near home, then edited in Instagram. Original is color, but black and white just felt right.
