Flowers Near The Trees

Yellow Flowers

mountains to the west

sunlight upon the water

flowers near the trees

Flowers on a Breezy Day

sunlight on meadows
flowers bouncing in a breeze
some favorite things

 


I’ve been exhausted the past few days as I’ve recovered from my second dose of the covid vaccine. But I’m feeling pretty darn good today.

A Momentary Pause

feasting on sunlight
brief bits of joyful color
momentary pauseĀ 

A few days ago I was walking along the nearby waterfront. This burst of color captured my attention, both at the moment and then yesterday, which I spent resting, recovering from my second dose of Moderna. I got a fair amount done in spite of my day of rest, but I didn’t get a haiku posted.

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.

Mists flowing the trees

mists flowing through trees

moisture upon the petals

dreaming of the sun

Kissed by Sunlight

Rhododendron bloom

kissed by the sunlight
dancing upon the spring breeze
the arc of petals

Snoozing Through Winter

Awakening

snoozing through winter
slowly awakening
morning’s gentle rain


Today’s “Word of the Day Challenge” is Snooze. These words came while watching rhododendron blooms slowly come to life this week.

From My Garden

From the Garden

upon the spring breeze
the delight of butterflies
and soon they will fade

Moment of Sunlight

Spring moments

moment of sunlight
gentle breeze against the sky
now the calm of night


I took this photo while trying to capture a bee dancing vigorously between the blooms. She was much too fast for my photo, sadly. Yet it was a lovely moment.

Blossoms Fading

fallen petals

springtime passing by
now branches filling with leaves
blossom petals shed


I’m noticing the cherry blossoms, oh so recently bursting forth, starting to fall. It is one their beauties, their fragility, their temporary presence. Emergence to vanished is such a short window.
