A Break In The Rain

Bee In A Flower
Bee In An Orange Flower

a break in the rain
bees insist on gathering
glorious nectar

This bee was energetic little lady was hard to capture, as she kept bouncing from flower to flower. I am rather proud of this humble shot with my Samsung S9.

Fallen Blossoms

Fallen Blossoms
Fallen Blossoms

through today’s rain
spring and summer soon will fuse
through falling blossoms

I shot this one near my house. The shape and structure of this tree are just lovely, and the ground covered with fallen blossoms seemed a perfect metaphor while spring is supplanted by summer.

Forgotten Forests

Decayed Stump

against the darkness
memories of trees echoing
forgotten forests

Earthbound Blossoms

Earth bound blossoms

petals scattering
memories of fading spring
summer whispers “soon”

Watching the trees shed their blossoms’ petals is both beautiful and sad. Summer comes on the death of spring.

frost upon the grass
breadcrumbs for the Steller’s Jays
dawn’s tranquility

Saturday Morning Poem

Beginnings
Filled with potential
Sunny morning dreams

Created with Adobe Spark, photo by me. Font : Playfair.

Doorways

the passage of time
sun and rain changing so much
yet beauty remains

I found this door on a recent trip to Port Townsend, WA. The marvelous character of this worn door spoke to me. All things age. Where do we find our grace?

Haiku Response: May 20, 2020

This photo called to me for a haiku, and I was delighted to oblige.

the sun slips below
warm blazing orange blankets
when will the stars dance?

A Photo Inspired Haiku

joyful floral scents
moments of urban beauty soon,
war’s horrors rise

I wrote this haiku after seeing the post below. Such a lovely photo coming a breath before the horror of World War I.

the soul of a tree
life with bark skin forgotten
ghostly echoing
