Dark Clouds To The West

Brackett’s Landing in Edmonds

dark clouds to the west
despite the ominous signs
continue moving 

A Late Autumn Haiku


visions of autumn
daylight moves through clouds and rain
soon, soon winter comes 

Through Autumn Storms

Autumn Rose

through the autumn storms
the rose's tenacity
shines through today's sun

Glancing Skywards

skyward view of maple leaves

upwards through the leaves
lazy clouds oblivious 
air cooling my face

Raindrops on Petals

Raindrops on Petals


a break in the rain
sunlight creeps out from the clouds
the moment passes


Took this photo earlier this week. Lately, I’ve loved the effect of raindrops on leaves and petals. I hope you do, too.

Through Wind and Rain

on the path

through the wind and rain
maple leaves and fir needles
sigh upon the ground
rose in the rain

a break in the rain
sunlight hides behind the clouds
the cool autumn air

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).

Autumn Rains

Autumn Rains

autumn rains singing
glistening jewels upon leaves
gracefully earthbound 

This photo was taken a few days ago on one of my walks with my trusty Samsung S9. I love the effect of the raindrops!
