the filling of coffee cups
crows seek their breakfast

An Evening Haiku
I created this haiku with Adobe Express in order to explore some of the text formatting features.
Today’s Haiku Challenge: Waves
sunset through the waves sunlight sparkles upon the surf fading into night
On Twitter, er, X, the user @Bleu_Owl posts a daily prompt “Haiku Challenge”. Today’s prompt is “wave”. The above is my contribution. I hope you enjoy it!
An Animated Haiku
Today’s haiku video was created with Canva, a powerful freemium design tool. If you’re not familiar with it, I highly recommend it. The free version has plenty of functionality, and the premium versions are amazing without the high costs of Adobe.
FWOC: Maximum
A blogger I follow, WoollyMuses, posted his contribution to Fandango’s One Word Challenge: Maximum. So, I thought I’d add to that.

The photo above is one I took in Manzanita, Oregon a few days ago. Shot with my Samsung S22.
Grace of Sunlight
the grace of sunlight
dancing in the ocean breeze
the sun arcs downwards
Manzanita Sunset
as the sun descends
day drifting to memory
the birds still singing
Rain
as the water beads
flowing across the petals
rains drift westward
Today’s Haiku Challenge: Jasmine
hints of jasmine
linger in my memory
intense yet hazy
This haiku is my contribution to today’s “haiku challenge” on Twitter.
I’ve been contributing to this for years. It’s one of my favorite parts of Twitter. As the Musk saga devolves, it’s what keeps me coming back. There a delightful community surrounding the challenge.
The image was crafted with Adobe Express using the Lara font.
Ghosts Of My Dreams
these ghosts of my dreams wandering amidst echoes lost in the sunlight
This is my first exploration into Adobe’s Express beta. I think they’ve done a great job with the UI. It’s a smooth and straightforward, to me at least. Express doesn’t go to deep into the Adobe way of doing things, which works fine for your devotees, but is not terribly intuitive for the uninitiated. Anyway, it might well replace my dependence on Canva.
