I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.

 

Autumn Leaves

reddened leaves dance graceful
in the morning mist

It’s been a busy week. I started fall quarter and ended up with a stomach bug. Those two items sucked up the majority of my time. I’ll have more updates shortly.

I hope everyone of you is well and that you’re feeling refreshed and re-energized.

nature's graceful force
always pushing us forwards
through autumnal rains

Ah, a lovely, rainy near-autumn morning here in Seattle. Autumn is my favorite season, so this fills me with happiness. And I expect my brown lawn is rejoicing with the rain.

I created this with Canva. The image is not mine, but a complementary one in Canva. Motion in text is something I am exploring deeper. Yeah, this isn’t that terribly challenging, but I’m all for small steps.

Summer’s Walk

autumn approaching

This is a tree I’ve walked by myriad times. Today, with a cloudless sky, I stood out on my walk. Though it’s still summer weather, the crispness of autumn makes its presence known. Soon…very soon, summer will retire. As much as I love summer autumn holds a dear place one my heart.
