The beauty of new green leaves

On a recent walk I composed a Haiku poem to express what I was seeing and feeling at the time. I hope you enjoy this springtime poem, along with the photos I took to accompany it.

Light through brand new leaves

shines green into the forest,

providing true calm.

Brand new leaves of Larch trees, genus Larix 

Looking up into a beautiful, assorted canopy of green. 

A small path through a stand of 'Bottlebrush Buckeyes', Aesculus parviflora

Short and Sweet

Hello Everyone! I just wanted to acknowledge that my past few posts have been kind of lengthy. Although I recognize the value of sometimes just letting the thoughts flow into the keyboard, I also know that short posts can be the most powerful. Just as the realm of scientific papers and Haiku poetry uphold succinctness, I will make writing concise, well-written posts my new goal. After all, there are people who make a living with poetry, short stories, and scientific writing. (I think they might be on to something!!! * wink *)

May all beings be happy!!

Winter Afternoon Haiku

Sunshine, bright and warm
streams onto my strolling frame-
A joyful walk home.

A Morning Haiku

What a gorgeous day; sunny with the trees frosted over!! The amazing scene inspired me to think of this Haiku:

Trees icy frosted
All is a white silhouette
Beautiful morning!

May all beings have at least one peaceful moment today.
