2043. can’t get there from here

 

trapped in a labyrinth

round and round we made our way

finally to escape 🦊❤️

During out evening stroll we came upon a meditation labyrinth. No matter what path we took we couldn’t seem to get to the center. When we finally did make it to the center, getting out was equally challenging. Not very meditative…. The tracker app that we use on walks captured our effort. 🦊❤️

2042. contemporary still life

 

looking straight ahead

not at hand held devices

but at the pictures 🦊❤️

***

lined up like soldiers

giving their full attention

to thoughts on canvas 🦊❤️ 

We visited the Brandywine River Museum yesterday with our friends Gloria and Rachael. The exhibit featuring contemporary still life  works was so-so. But the saving grace of the excursion was the people watching of people looking at art. 🦊❤️

2041. catch me if i fall

 

dare i get closer

if i do i just might fall

from up here to there 🦊❤️

I love the butterflies that erupt in my stomach whenever I get too close to the edge. 🦊❤️

2040. don quixote is my hero

 

some would say it’s nuts

to water a hopeless cause

but someone has to… 🦊❤️

It has been a couple of months since we spotted a tiny tree sprouting from a crack in a large parking lot. It continues to hang in there. We are now watering it to keep it going in this hot weather. Quite a silly undertaking… but somebody has to do it! 🦊❤️

2039. observer

 

walking lost in thought

the ground passing underfoot

you quietly watch 🦊❤️

Time and time again I am pleasantly startled by deer standing quietly, watching my every move as I pass quietly by. 🦊❤️

2038. thank you rob

 

insidious foe

your three shiny leaves of woe

forever prowling 🦊❤️

As I was sitting in my comfortable chair on a lazy Sunday morning, I thought, “I have no photo to post on my haiku blog - oh what should I do?” At that very moment my good friend Rob texted me the above picture with the comment, “Can’t stop poison ivy!!!” Perfect timing Rob. Thank you!! 🦊❤️

2037. life’s puzzles

 

on a quiet stroll

the missing puzzle pieces

can often be found 🦊❤️

When you are having a difficult time understanding the “whole picture” of life’s many puzzles, a quiet, solo walk will often help you find the picture’s missing pieces! 🦊❤️
