Signs of Spring

Snow upon the firs

upon this first snow
a group of robins gather
a first sign of spring

Though there was snow on the ground this morning, it was mostly gone by early afternoon. Then, during my afternoon walk, I saw a group of robins rummaging through the fallen leaves. Winter may be in place now, but spring cannot be stopped!

A Morning Haiku

amongst the trees

coloring the sky

Some thoughts this winter’s morning. I hope you’re warm and safe.

Rain will soon Fall

rain will soon fall
I will feel the warmth
of memories

Posted this earlier today on my Instagram feed. I wanted to share it with you, too.

calmness with my tea

This Weekly Prompt appeared (haiku) in my feed today. As I love mornings, it felt quite nice to create this haiku as a part.

Looking Skyward

Lovely African coffee

bursts of energy

Morning Rain

a song, to me

Droplets on a Leaf

captures magic


I caught sight of this leaf while walking back to my car. I captured this photo with my Samsung S9. Quite impressive for a rather obsolete camera, at this point.

Today’s Word Of The Day Haiku: Sad

do you know I’m sad?

walking alone on concrete

tears hidden by rain


This is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Sad. Fitting, I guess, for a rainy, gloomy day in Seattle. Many days like today’s hosted sadness. Lately, though, even in the midst of the pandemic, I feel calmness, tranquility.
