This is a photo I took of cirrus clouds and altocumulus clouds over a blue sky. Their wispy streaks feel like brush strokes behind rounded taps of sheer paint. You can feel the wind pulling this scene from left to right. As a child, adults and children bullied me for being different. My autoimmune disorder didn’t help the situation, because it kept me small, and we all know size is a shallow mind’s favorite joke. I used to wish that I would grow big like an elephant, and then I’d be impervious. Half-pint, shrimp, small fry, munchkin, baby doll, Polly Pocket, mouse, and the list goes on. But this is not my sad story. In fact, it’s another reason I love clouds. They have always made me feel happy, despite my size, or any size, beneath them . . . we’re all small. Inspired by our fluffy friends above, here's my latest free verse haiku: clouds tangle gazing up I like being small

Autumn Glow
Last night's walk. Love how the street lamp brings out the gold in these leaves. 🍂

A tree with golden autumn leaves illuminated by a street lamp at twilight, standing beside a suburban sidewalk covered in fallen leaves. The warm lamplight glows through the canopy against a deep blue evening sky, with residential buildings visible on the left.

A mule deer buck with branching antlers stands in silhouette atop a rocky ridge at dusk, his alert posture suggesting he's scanning the terrain below. A gnarled juniper tree rises from the rocks to the left. The sky gradates from pale blue to a warm haze at the horizon, creating dramatic backlighting that emphasizes the deer's form and impressive rack against the darkened landscape of sparse grass and stone outcroppings.

Beyond My Curtain

Gust steals nut
Evening the score
Squirrel breaks wind

#BlueSkyArtShow #Evening
#EastCoastKin
#WildWalkPrompt Curtain

#haiku #俳句 #Freeverse #Poetry #Micropoetry #Photography #Wildlife

Short story in ALT: ⬇️
Here is a shot of Sassy the squirrel, outside my writing window. The momentary pause of insult barking allowed me to take a seemingly serene nature photo. But don’t be fooled; this grey bark licker is giving me the stink eye. It’s a bright day—light through tender leaves frames the scene, and our forest beyond is a lovely blurred backdrop. Sassy is leaning hunched on the poplar limb, all hands and feet gripped tightly to the bark. This side-body-view shows the elegant curl of its fluffy tail, hooked beneath the limb for balance. Sassy’s black almond-shaped eye stares into your soul. Bonus story: Five years ago, I received daily belligerent visits from this fluffer-nutter. Each morning, I’d wake and peacefully start the day with a few paragraphs before breakfast, and Sassy would watch me while barking and doing an interpretive bristle-tailed shuffle along the limb. One blustery day, the south wind snatched a peanut from those teensy hands. The wild-eyed rodent thrashed around afterwards like it was a premeditated assault. Which led to my free verse haiku: Beyond My Curtain Gust steals nut Evening the score Squirrel breaks wind I will say this about Sassy: “That squirrel passionately barked up every tree, and made our world chuckle.” I miss the long walks we’d take together. With one eye peeled for a drop assassination, I strolled as Sassy stalked me with the bare minimum of twig snaps and rustling leaves. When I paused, taking a photo, barking would echo down from above. Our loving rivalry will never be forgotten.

A bright full moon glows behind dramatic dark clouds in a night sky. The moon's luminous white surface is partially obscured by wispy, layered cloud formations that create an ethereal, moody atmosphere. The clouds are backlit by the moon's glow, showing varying shades of gray against the deep black sky.

Looking up through a canopy of autumn trees against a clear blue sky. The central tree displays brilliant golden-orange fall foliage in full autumn color, while surrounding trees show a mix of deep red, yellow, and some remaining green leaves. Bare branches are visible at the edges, creating a natural frame. The sunlight illuminates the leaves, making them glow warmly against the crisp sky.

To the right, a bank of fog is creeping over the hills, creating a strong contrast of light and dark. Laguna Lake Park Open Space/Cerro San Luis, San Luis Obispo, California.

Ocean Beach, Kāwhia - yet another picture by me of the Tasman Sea at sunset. The black sand beach is cooler now to walk on without jandals. There's a small section of deep green native grass on the left. In the distance across the water is the other side of Kāwhia Harbour and its rolling hills. The blue sky above is a dreamy expanse, wispy white clouds doing jazz hands : ) The sun is a light yellow/white, blazing its life into the sky, down to the earth, into the sea...and me. In white font over the photo, a poem by me: we approach the shore to let go for aren’t we told the world belongs to us if only we would do just that perhaps the Sky …blue in colour and mood… needs a release at the Sea’s edge as well "By letting it go, it all gets done. The world belongs to those who let go." ~ Lao Tzu

A view of the upper reaches of Tāne Mahuta, also called "God of the Forest" - a giant Kauri tree in the Northland Region. From the wiki: Tree girth 15.44 m (50.7 ft) Trunk height 17.68 m (58.0 ft) Tree height 45.2 m (148 ft) Trunk volume 255 m3 (9,000 cu ft) Total tree volume 516.7 m3 (18,250 cu ft)[1][9] A view of this amazing Kauri, surrounded by dense NZ forest - taken from a seated viewing area well back from the tree. Note the two humans in the bottom centre of the photo which helps give an idea of how massive it is. One cannot help but feel in awe of its majesty and strength.
