2025. take a second look

 

the perfect hider

invisible to most eyes

except those that see 🦊❤️

This creature is called a Rough Prominent. As I passed by a stucco wall what appeared to be a leaf caught my eye. I took a closer look and lo and behold what a wonderful surprise. 🦊❤️

2024. magic mushroom

 

one would almost think

that a skilled artist carved this

abstract mushroom 🦊❤️

When I see the art that is created by nature, my mind fills with inspiration to explore new creative projects. 🦊❤️

2023. family matters

 

standing face to face

canadian geese discuss

where to lay the eggs 🦊❤️

It’s that time of the year that Canadian Geese couples build their nests and lay eggs. As we walk along we see all of the various couples here and there preparing for new additions to their families. 🦊❤️

2022. against the odds

 

a day long ago

a chosen seed sprouted roots

and beat all the odds 🦊❤️

As I stood and gazed at the ancient trunk of a huge tree, I thought about the miracle of its start as a seedling to its current state as a towering weary and wise wooden monument.  Beating the odds…. 🦊❤️

2021. a chair’s life

 

their rest time near done

another day of sitters

and eaters soon starts 🦊❤️

I couldn’t help but feature these two red chairs awaking from a night’s rest. Another day of hungry diners about to begin. 🦊❤️

2020. what are the chances?

 

what are the chances

that this tender tree survives?

only in this haiku… 🦊❤️

As I walked along I spotted this tiny, tender tree that had sprouted in the crack of a large parking lot. Coincidentally there was a Maple Tree seed and cherry pit laying beside it. I thought, “How long will that little sprout survive?” Then I took a picture, wrote a haiku and thought “Forever!” 🦊❤️

2019. ticker tape parade

 

as i walk along

the cherry trees announce me

ticker tape parade 🦊❤️

I swear that trees come to know folks that visit them often and appreciate their wonder. 🦊❤️
