After a drizzly morning, the sun came out and the afternoon air was fresh and inviting. Between bronchitis and the weather, I hadn’t gone for a walk in over a month. I hurried home, changed into my yoga pants and sneakers, then headed for the park. It felt good to be outside.
Here are some images, in words and pictures, from my walk.
winter weary dear
nibble on the stubble left
from last summer’s hay
shrubs begin to dress,
slipping on a halo
of golden green

I love your haiku’s, and I’m glad you got your walk in. Today in southern California it reached 80. It was just crazy. But it was a beautiful day nonetheless.

It sounds like a wonderful walk. I skipped mine, and now I’m sorry I did. Hopefully my experience tomorrow will give me some thoughts as yours did for you!

What beautiful images you shared with your pictures and your words! I particularly liked the idea of your dressing shrubs slipping on halos of green. I’m so sorry you haven’t been well and hope you’re back up to speed soon.

Love this line- “shrubs begin to dress”– so glad it is warm enough and you are healthy enough to venture out. Your words benefit us all.

Lovely images with your words–and those photos! I have been trying to heal plantar fasciitis and very much missing my daily walks. At there’s yoga!

This is a nice way to build a slice, go outside and write haiku. Wish we could take a walk together.
