1775. and the winner is… sunsets

 

tonight’s setting sun

caused us to stop in our tracks

look… larger than life  🦊❤️

I think that sunsets are far superior to sunrises when it comes to shadows. 🦊❤️

1774. hearts swelling as one

flashing lights and flags

as far as the eyes can see

hearts swelling as one 🦊❤️

Fourth of July parades are an antidote for the divisiveness that we are constantly bombarded with day after day. I enjoy the lump in my throat and the feeling of pride that I feel in my chest as I watch the parade march by and hear the onlookers cheering!!! Happy Independence Day. 🦊❤️

 

1773. must be well versed

 

“poet for hire”

churning out verse on demand

does he do haiku? 🦊❤️

I imagine that this would be a pretty demanding way to earn a buck! 🦊❤️

1772. hidden treasure

 

on the rugged bark

a forest of soft moss grows

hidden paradise 🦊❤️

In the recesses of nature enchanted places reside. 🦊❤️

1771. lighting the way

 

with taillights beaming

as if to say, “follow me”

the geese move as one 🦊❤️

There is something very powerful and moving about geese traveling from here to there. The sense of single minded movement is beautiful and inspiring. 🦊❤️

1770. storm story

 

the booms got closer

the winds came like a freight train

the rain fell and fell 🦊❤️

I sat on my balcony and watched today’s storm story be written. It was a very short story but very dramatic!! 🦊❤️

1769. he’s out of this world

here- there-everywhere

now it’s time for outer space

3-2-1 blastoff 🦊❤️

I must say that I had a blast building my first rocket (not from a kit). The rocket’s name is “Tommy Hawk” like the Tomahawk Cruise Missile. Tommy peers out from the ship’s portal waiting anxiously to blast off. Its maiden voyage will be in early August in NY. 🦊❤️
