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?

The night’s calmness

in the night’s calmness

I delight in the silence

stars in the spring sky

Daffodils

the daffodil’s gaze

loving glance in the spring sun

a gentle breeze blows

Word of the Day Challenge: Habit, A Haiku

walking every day
my delightful new habit
feeling the sunlight

Today’s Word of the Day Challenge is to use the word “Habit”. As one of my key foci in 2021 has been daily walks, this seems a relevant post. This photo is from one my neighborhood parks from a walk this week.
