rose in the rain

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

Rainy Day Flowers

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!

I love the sound of wind through the trees

Wind Through The Trees

wind blows through these trees
memories awakening
tranquility’s song

Daffodils

the daffodilโ€™s gaze

loving glance in the spring sun

a gentle breeze blows

Under the Clouds

Under the Clouds

set under the clouds
my city moves through the rain
while fueled by coffee


A rainy day here, just north of Seattle. One that brings me memories of northwestern Oregon. The winter rains in Astoria where my feet were my main mode of transportation. I guess that came from the heavy weight of the rain drops along with their coldness.

Awoke to Birdsong

awoke to birdsong
slowly the sun rises
hinting at springtime

The birds were quite boisterous this morning. Looks like spring is nearly here. Though this hasnโ€™t been that burial of a winter around here, I am ready for spring. Are you?

A Saturday Snowfall

Snowfall in Lynnwood

snow falling
memories: moments of cheer
delights of childhood

Snow isn’t quite a joyous a thing as an adult as I found it as a child. Yet the echoes remain.

This is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge, with today’s word “cheery”. I took a little liberty with “cheery”. I hope it cheers you, at least.

A Pluviophile’s Delight

rain is predicted
delights pluviophiles
Seattle winters

As a live-long Seattleite, I hold a certain fondness for rain. One tempered with topical annoyance, and occasional despair. Yet, for the most part, I enjoy rain. The sound upon my roof. Watching the rain from a street-side cafรฉ, listening to jazz. So much of my life revolves around liquid precipitation.
