Under sunlit trees  Cold air sitting in judgement  I still stop and gaze 

  frost upon the grass breadcrumbs for the Steller’s Jays dawn’s tranquility 

sunlight on display shining through autumnal leaves crows announce my steps

  my mind wondering why are dandelions weeds not wildflowers? As a boy, I loved dandelions. As an adult, I wonder why they’re so maligned. What do you think? Created this image with Adobe Spark and a stock photo.

sunlight climbs mountains e lation and jubilee  a new day is born There is a blog that posts a Word of the Day Challenge. Today's word is "elation". The above its my contribution.

rain's grace clouds hiding the sun's face beloved fresh air Seattle is getting our well-needed rain right now. The air feels so much better, breathing so much easier. Tis a good day, my friends!

jays shriek their protests an uncaring hawk nearby this hazy morning

scent of old books espresso machine’s song hints of jazz piano    Thinking of Beat poets while listening to jazz this hazy, smokey Seattle morning.

Laying bare our fears Feel the sunlight on our souls Swaying sunflowers A haiku for this late, summer's evening. 

empty, hollow words unable to find healing trust that's been trampled

I have learned to trust the impartiality of songbirds in flight

In today's haiku I'm listening to rain upon my roof, remembering this sound I've heard so many times. Rain speaks to the Seattleite in me, to the many, many times of gentle rain. For me, it's calming and tranquil. 

in this sea of change I step forward regardless unbowed by my fears

Hear the night's language Moving between streetlights Far away laughter

As I'm gazing out Over the calming water Sunlight on my skin

This view is lovely Looking out to the water Graceful summer sky
