Walking at Twilight

Walking at twilight
The sense of forward motion
My tranquility


I value my evening walks. They bring me focus and settle down my more manic moments. Often, I listen to podcasts. Today, though, I opted for music. Spotify is glorious if you love music like I do.

Flowers in the Night

Flowers in the night
Do they notice the street light?
A breeze from the west


Another meditation from an evening walk. These walks clear my mind of the day’s mania. Thus they’re very welcome to me.

A scene from today’s walk

Walking through the rain
WIth summer’s end approaching
This crafted flower

Though it cooler than the past few days, it felt plenty warm to me. Greater Seattle’s mugginess felt fine to me.

Nights power rising: tonight’s #haiku

Nights power rising

Warm air freed from the cloud’s grace

Wakefulness waning

April 8, 2019: #Haiku

Walking down this trail
Raindrops passing through the trees
Seattle’s springtime

A Haiku From This Evening’s Walk

The water’s stillness

With the sun moving westward

Spring’s daylight now ends


I live about 30 miles north of Seattle. I adore walking along the Edmonds waterfront. Many of my shots posted here are from this small city. My history here goes back a few generations. Simply walking here brings forth memories of cousins, grandparents.

Tonight’s Haiku: An Evening Walk

Walking near the shore

Sunlight gracefully setting

My mind is swirling

It’s been a rough couple of days. A few moments of peace were very welcome. Walking and writing poetry connect me to the greater grace of the universe. And I’m grateful.

I’m grateful for you, too, dear readers. The likes and comments make me feel like I add value to your lives with my shaped words. So, thank you for reading, liking and commenting! It lightens the heavier loads in my life.

An Evening Walk

I got in a few evening walks this week. My mind fills with thoughts and inspiration. They’re deeply valuable to me.

My body’s motion
As I move into twilight
Sky’s colors delight

The Great Blue Heron

This gangly bird
Inelegant legs, bearing
Ghost upon the marsh
