change of scenery

far from their usual pond —

ducks on vacation

the fashionista

wears her polka dots proudly —

symbol of strength, peace

cemetery ginkgo tree —

stalwart survivor

snowflakes of summer —

intricate, lacy patterns

on tall stalks of green

#HaikuChallenge21 -- Peach

using all senses

when celebrating a peach —

orb of perfection

#HaikuChallenge21 -- Tiger Lilies

alien creatures

disguised as tiger lilies

welcome visitors

no courtesy from this pair

true fairway turkeys

daily reminder

so simple but not easy —

mindfulness moments

color explosion

bursting through the pouring rain —

reminder of sun

flora and fauna

synergistic relation —

better together

#HaikuChallenge21 -- Seashell

battered by the waves

tossed and tumbled in the sand —

still whole, resilient

colors and patterns

twist, turn, pull apart, converge —

possibilities

making visible

what was just invisible —

magic of low tide

#HaikuChallenge21 -- Bounty

from farm to table

grateful for the many hands

that nurtured this crop

#HaikuChallenge21 -- Raindrops

observing raindrops

clinging to leaves, then changing

with shape shifting forms

HaikuChallenge21 -- Pond

viridescent pond

teems with life — plants, animals

yet surface is still

#HaikuChallenge21 -- Ice Cream

maui mango chip

tastes like summer in a cone

dripping decadence

spectacular sky

beckons road weary travelers

onward toward their homes

Until Next Year

bon voyage parade

stopping by to bid adieu

until next summer

#HaikuChallenge21 -- Shelter

windy, wet, and wild

viewing the world through rain drops

grateful for shelter
