As I walk through the countryside, in the footsteps of Richard Jefferies, on the Downs, Meadows and in the Woodlands, I glance up into the blue sky: a Red Kite glides into view; a Harrier sails past over the reedbeds; a Barn Owl hunts the Woodland edge; a Blackbird sings ...
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 dreaming the dreams of warriors

summer grasses:
the remains of warriors
and their dreams

harvest moon
across the counterpane
battles fought
