This evening’s haiku

A flower photo with a honey bee
with hints of summer 
watching the vigor of bees
as the springtime fades

This photo was taken in my front yard. The bees were quite taken with these flowers. This was shot with my Samsung S22.

I’m quite pleased with the results I get with this phone. It’s been amazing.

It’s feeling like summer here, just north of Seattle. It’s wonderful. But I’m right at the point of shifting from complaining about the cold to complaining about the heat. The comfortable temperature range for Seattle’s is between 65 & 75.

I hope you’re enjoying your weekend! May it exceed your expectations.

My rhododendron 
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.

Tonight’s Haiku

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.

the snows have faded
cherry blossoms take over
within sun drenched skies

I took this photo on my walk today.

as I face the west
sunset’s grace on the mountains
the air turns colder

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.
