sunlight drifting through the mists
crows singing their joys

in this autumn rain flowers feel the grasp of time morning moving past
Today’s Haiku: Bursts of Color
footsteps on the path bursts of color reach my eye underneath the leaves
Saw these on my walk yesterday. They were striking, standing out solidly in the mass of green.
I finished up Summer quarter on my journey to finish my ATA in Web Development. I will write some about that soon. Six quarters complete and three quarters left. Now, what to do afterwards? So much opportunity, so many choices, thus, so many things to say “no” to. That’s my pain.
Today’s Haiku Challenge: Rest
watching flowers dance
as I rest in my hammock
sunlight glimmering
On Twitter there’s a daily “haiku challenge” by @Baffled (today’s word is “rest”). I try my best to do these every day. A lovely community has sprung up around them. For me, it’s one of the best parts of Twitter.
A Flower From My Walk
walking through sunlight
these flowers watch my progress
and summer’s approach
It’s a few weeks yet until summer, though we’ve had days with a summer feel. A few more days of cool dampness, then summer-like weather starts again. Slowly, iteratively, we’ll approach summer. Spring petals will continue to fall.
Lucid: A Haiku
Here’s my contribution to today’s FOWC (Fandango’s One-Word Challenge): lucid. In keeping with my current blogging focus of haiku, here you go:
as dawn’s light rises
my dreams brilliantly lucid
fading as I wake
Coffee Shop Vibes
within coffee shops
respites from the coldest rain
such sanctuary
I took this photo at Everett’s Narrative Coffee. The ambiance delights me. With its brick walls, I return to many cold, wet days from when I lived downtown Seattle. Books, pastries, coffee; the elements of classic elegance.
Just a little editing in Photoshop to capture the mood. A little blur for a vignette, a bit of color balancing, et viola!
Spring Irises
these spring irises
the other side of the fence
caressed by the rain
Gorgeous: A Haiku
Here’s my contribution to the WordPress Word of the Day Challenge: Gorgeous.
the grace of sunlight
gorgeous specks upon the waves

Footsteps Fade
as my footsteps fade
drifting into memories
sunlight on raindrops
