Winter’s Skies

winter’s skies return
sun obscured by dark rain clouds
spring’s grace is quite near

Walking: Tonight’s Haiku

Winter’s sunlight falls
Boldly matching across sand
Kingfisher glides past

A haiku over tea

Some afternoon tea

Combined with a tasty lunch

Spring’s not quite here yet

Enjoying a lite bite at Edmonds’ Red Twig. A lovely cafe with tasty food, lovely coffee and a good selection of teas, it’s a favorite stop for many of our neighbors.

Brunch in #Edmonds

A light mist outside

Delightfully warm within

My grandfather’s voice

My grandparents started coming to Edmonds’ Pancake Haus when it opened, and remained faithful customers til the end. My wife and I go somewhat regularly, enough that the staff recognize our son and ask about him. This connection brings me joy.

Do have any place with similar connections?

An Edmonds Haiku

Edmonds ferry terminal at night

Along the water
Feeling the grace of motion
Rippling light waves

A windy Edmonds day

southern wind challenges

trees bending with the waves

seagulls’ airborne dance

Tide Against Sand


tide moves against sand

with air dancing upon waves

heron’s patient stealth

A December Walk

Walking in the cold
Wind biting through the sunlight
The finch’s motion

A Christmas Day Haiku

such a lovely day

walking in cold sunlight

December’s blessings


My wife and I went for am afternoon walk with my wife down in Edmonds, my favorite little town. A fine way to spend an afternoon, methinks.

I hope your holiday filled you with happiness and joy.

An Edmonds Kind Of Haiku

along the water

the breeze carries the salty air
