Autumnal Flower

Autumnal Flower

cold autumnal rain 
sunlight returned joyfully
memories at night

I was able to fit a walk in between rain and wind. Found this lovely bundle of resistance peeking through the shrubs.

Summer’s Tenacious Remnants

Fallen Flower

autumn's grip solid
summer's final remnants fade
within this strong breeze

This bush so holds a few tenacious blooms, but the autumn winds are becoming insistent. Soon all the branches will be barren. Yet life will remain, bold and true.

Rainy Day Flowers


this cool morning air
more photos to file away
reviewed with my tea

This is my response to a haiku challenge on Twitter. This photo was taken on my Samsung S9 earlier this month but in weather similar to today’s (here in Seattle, at least).

Earthbound Blossoms

Earth bound blossoms

petals scattering
memories of fading spring
summer whispers “soon”

Watching the trees shed their blossoms’ petals is both beautiful and sad. Summer comes on the death of spring.
