Looking out the kitchen window the first snow of winter on the mountains, black twigged hedges casting frosted white shadows, that stay all day, across the fields; a hunting Sparrowhawk flips over a nearby hedge disturbing a flock of Fieldfare, their gun-metal blue heads shining in the afternoon winter sun as they rise as one circling the field before settling back on the hedge.
Bin brewing a while ; yet ...
after the storm
reading the leaves
another cuppa
#haiku #senryu
Baywatch ...
on the beach the ebb and flow of sanderling
#oneline #haiku #Sanderling
The first few #autumn migrants on passage ...
harvest moon hidden by clouds a flock of plover

summer grasses:
the remains of warriors
and their dreams

harvest moon
across the counterpane
battles fought
