Underneath the moon
And this glorious sunset
Autumnal beauty
poetry, prose, and photography

Underneath the moon
And this glorious sunset
Autumnal beauty
Went walking today
Along my favorite shoreline
As the sun moved low
One of my favorite things is to walk along the waterfront in Edmonds, WA. Tonight I include a few photos I took along the way.
With wind blowing strong
These bold and daring people
Weren’t cowed by this storm
I wrote this haiku watching these two ignore cold and rain, dancing where wind and wave collide.


Walking upon the shore
Sunlight landing upon my face
My skin warm, nicely so
Friend talk, warmed hearts
And children yet again taller
Than a moment ago
Evoking parental wonder, and triggering
Eternal frustration for children

The sun stretches me
Solar motion elongates
Sun in brutal cold
Walking along the Edmonds Waterfront. With the strong wind from the north, the air was brisk, cold. Bright and sunny later in the day, which made our mid-afternoon walk much more pleasant.

As the darkness falls
Light echoing the day’s joy
Fading to slumber

As night descends
Summer’s air cools
I enjoy tranquility
A moment, flowing
Quickly, as life
Demands attention
Westward colors
Embrace the sky
Smoke, and other
Things, transcend
To beauty

This little market
Speaking to me of summer
Gentle memories
