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.

Today’s Haiku
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.
Today’s haiku
this gentle rainfall
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).
Haiku, Reply Haiku
I read this haiku over on Charlotte Digregorio’s blog.

the window washer
brightens my day

Modern Haiku, Vol. 37.2, Summer 2006
This reminded me of an experience I had back in the 90s. I worked on various projects at a variety of firms. In one of them, I was at a law firm in the Columbia Center, a 73 story building in downtown Seattle. We were located on the 60th some odd floor, and one of my colleagues was startled by the window washer appearing outside her window. The ensuing shriek garnered all of our attention, and amusement…including that of the washer.

Walking at night: a haiku
walking through the cold
feeling the grace of the night
soon the rains return
It was a good night for a walk. Brisk air was mitigated by my jacket. My main challenge: being near invisible to the passing cars. But most of my walk was far off the main roads. Thus, my key sensation was tranquility.
Tonight’s Haiku
I came up with this one on my walk this evening. It was a clear night, and the air brisk.
The image was pulled together with Canva, and the rest done with TikTok’s app.
Autumn’s Approach
the grace of summer
continuing to hold on
autumn approaches
I found this flower along the Edmonds Waterfront on my walk yesterday afternoon. It’s one of my favorite places to be.
I hope this finds each of you well. May you be refreshed and energized this weekend.
Rain Clouds to the West
rain clouds to the west
quietly pass overhead
hiding the sunlight
Morning Rain
in the morning rain
gently upon the petals
amidst the birdsong
FWOC: Maximum
A blogger I follow, WoollyMuses, posted his contribution to Fandango’s One Word Challenge: Maximum. So, I thought I’d add to that.

The photo above is one I took in Manzanita, Oregon a few days ago. Shot with my Samsung S22.
