Today’s Haiku: A Heavy Rain
ferocious rain falls
battering leaves and flowers
days fade into night
Monday morning haiku
dawn upon the clouds
hints of red within the leaves
gentle morning mists
Today’s Haiku: Bursts of Color
footsteps on the path bursts of color reach my eye underneath the leaves
Saw these on my walk yesterday. They were striking, standing out solidly in the mass of green.
I finished up Summer quarter on my journey to finish my ATA in Web Development. I will write some about that soon. Six quarters complete and three quarters left. Now, what to do afterwards? So much opportunity, so many choices, thus, so many things to say “no” to. That’s my pain.
A Cloudy Summer’s Day

I took this photo this morning after hearing of the possibility of rain. Haven’t seen any yet.
I decided to experiment with animated text. This was created with Canva. What do you think?
Gazing to the west
gazing to the west
with the sun descending low
as the air's cooling
Looking to the west as I walk through this park. Sunlight drifts through the trees. Summer in the north bringing a steep angle to the light. Richly beautiful. To me, at least.
Coffee Shop Vibes
within coffee shops
respites from the coldest rain
such sanctuary
I took this photo at Everett’s Narrative Coffee. The ambiance delights me. With its brick walls, I return to many cold, wet days from when I lived downtown Seattle. Books, pastries, coffee; the elements of classic elegance.
Just a little editing in Photoshop to capture the mood. A little blur for a vignette, a bit of color balancing, et viola!
A Break In The Rain
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.
Footsteps Fade
as my footsteps fade
drifting into memories
sunlight on raindrops
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.
