Autumn Rains

Autumn Rains

autumn rains singing
glistening jewels upon leaves
gracefully earthbound 

This photo was taken a few days ago on one of my walks with my trusty Samsung S9. I love the effect of the raindrops!

I love the sound of wind through the trees

Wind Through The Trees

wind blows through these trees
memories awakening
tranquility’s song

Earthbound Blossoms

Earth bound blossoms

petals scattering
memories of fading spring
summer whispers “soon”

Watching the trees shed their blossoms’ petals is both beautiful and sad. Summer comes on the death of spring.

Word of the Day Challenge: Traffic, A Haiku

Along The Road

feet moving southwards
a moment free of traffic
memories of the road

Today’s Word of the Day Challenge is Traffic. I took the photo above on one of last week’s daily walks. Memories of long-ago road trips. That moment of breaking free from the urban, of the slog of traffic, facing the freedom, and cruelty, of the road. Washington and Oregon’s backroads, where one goes for miles without seeing other cars. When you do, only the briefest intersection, a burst of rushing wind, abruptly quieting to nothing. Only my engine’s hum remains.

A Walk In The Woods

A Walk In The Woods

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

Snoozing Through Winter

Awakening

snoozing through winter
slowly awakening
morning’s gentle rain


Today’s “Word of the Day Challenge” is Snooze. These words came while watching rhododendron blooms slowly come to life this week.
