Footsteps Fade

as my footsteps fade
drifting into memories
sunlight on raindrops

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.

Flowers on a Breezy Day

sunlight on meadows
flowers bouncing in a breeze
some favorite things

 


I’ve been exhausted the past few days as I’ve recovered from my second dose of the covid vaccine. But I’m feeling pretty darn good today.

I Love The Sound Of The Wind In The Trees

 

wind blows through these trees
memories awakening
tranquility’s song


I’ve always loved the sound of the wind in the trees. In western Washington, it’s a common sound, speaking to me of home.

A Walk In The Woods

underneath the trees
sunlight and clouds dance above
feet upon the earth

Mysteries

Sink By The Sidewalk

next to the sidewalk
what strange story exists here?
today’s mystery

From My Garden

From the Garden

upon the spring breeze
the delight of butterflies
and soon they will fade

An Animated Haiku

within this spring breeze

the flower has transformed

gracing the spring air


Today I experimented with creating animation with Adobe Spark. A fun creation, and I have a ton to learn. What do you think?

Word of the Day Challenge: Abandoned

troubling my mind
why was this place abandoned?
these lives forgotten


Today’s Word of the Day Challenge features the word “abandoned”, which reminded me of all the houses I’ve seen, empty, decaying. I wonder about the lives that were there before. I wonder about what caused these places to be left behind. What joys, sadnesses and pain have faded into oblivion?
