Raindrops on petals

Raindrops on petals

morning calmness 
the rain gently falling
life's graceful moments

Summer heat has been running strong this week. Today was a respite. 20 degrees cooler than yesterday with a gentle rain. A nice bit of relief.

I took this photo just outside of my office this morning. It seemed perfect. I enjoyed the moment, at least.

I hope your day went well. I know life’s pretty miserable for this of you on the East Coast. May the smoke clear quickly for you all.

A morning haiku

flittering of bees
dancing upon the petals
a choir of birdsong

I’ve not had my morning tea yet. Time to change that, methinks.

I hope your Friday is inspiring and productive.

Spring Lily

grasping for sunlight
while we move into springtime
though the rains come soon

I clearly delight in photographing flowers, especially in the spring. These are simply near me, spotted on my neighborhood walk. Shot on my Samsung S22 and unedited.

Cherry Blossoms

Cherry blossoms

within gentle mists
the grace of springtime bursts forth
new cherry blossoms

Autumn Rain

Raindrops on bare branches

ah, within this rain
gently drifting down my roof
this night's lullaby

I shot this photo yyesterday while on a walk, using my Samsung S9. Quite a versatile camera on my phone.

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.
