cool air drifting past the shore
slowly summer fades
poetry, prose, and photography

This morning I walked along the Edmonds marsh, grabbing this shot with my humble Samsung S20. The haiku flowed naturally.
I opted to add the text to the image directly via Canva. It’s been a while since I’ve done such and thought it would be good to stay in practice. Below is the text:
amidst the sunlight the agenda of flowers boisterous birdsong

Bubbles!
upon the spring breeze
joyful squeals of childhood
laden with pure grace

my finger's numbness
moments deep within winter
sunlight peeks through clouds

the beauty of dusk
sunlight dips behind mountains
fiery red sky

such a graceful sight
as sun moves down the mountain
night’s beauty gathers
This is my contribution to the Fandango One Word Challenge for today: “such”. Not the easiest word to create from, I must say.
I took this photo a few days ago along the waterfront of Edmonds, WA, just a short drive from my house. It’s one of my favorite places.

along the water
under the sun, between trains
beside calm waters
I just finished up winter quarter, so I was able to spend the day as I wished. Today’s the projected last day of sun for a while, so I opted for a waterside walk today. Edmonds is one of my favorite places, so off I went.

walk along the waterfront
filled with memories
Most of my life orbited the Edmonds waterfront, just north of Seattle. My grandparents lived here. So many memories of walking with my grandfather here, sometimes riding the ferry. He loved talking with everyone, hearing their stories. His gift of listening appreciated.
