a burst of sunlight
feeding the new spring flowers
a break in the rain

while the raindrops fall
this day of rest progresses
into the night’s grace
Rain filled this day, and my energy level was, well, absent. But I clearly needed rest. So, I rested. A gift to myself, I guess.

wonders of daylight as slowly the sun descends and spring now begins
I took this photo on my evening walk along the waterfront in Edmonds. Sunsets over the Olympics are some of my favorites.

I took this photo on my walk this evening along Edmonds’ Marina Beach. Is one of my favorite places, period. Some of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen are looking out at the Olympic Mountains of Washington.
Oh, and happy Pi Day, for those who celebrate.

the dance of sunlight
through the rain and falling snow
winter’s grip remains
I took this photo on my walk this afternoon. One filed with rain and snow, abs a stop for coffee.
crocuses arise
finding their way upwards
after the show melts

the rain grows warmer
slowly the plants awaken
the season's motion
I saw this little blossom on my walk today. Right before the rains started. It’s was cold, then damp. But I was equipped, so it was pleasant. Not a bad way to surrender a Sunday afternoon.

droplets sparkle in the light
while spring approaches
I created this haiku with TikTok’s built in tools. Then I posted it to Instagram amongst other places. These are lots of fun to create.
Anyway, I hope you had a good “extended Monday” (yesterday was the President’s Day holiday in the US).

Another exploration into Adobe Express. I find it an interesting competitor with Canva. Pretty straightforward to use, and integrates well with the Adobe system.
