crow tries to explain

    This tattered willow once was a testament to the beauty that can be found on a desert, and even still remains so.

    Love the desert tattered willows. Birds are drawn to them.

    Awesome photo MMT and that haiku is wonderful, but a bit sad. How sad that your laptop has died … you will be missed my friend and I hope that you can replace your dead laptop for a ‘new’ one to be participating again in our Haiku Kai.

    Have a good weekend. Namaste.

    Is crow explaining to, or for the willow?

    Those crows can sure caw the truths to the willow (but I wonder if the poor willow wants to listen)

    beautiful image and haiku… every morning I listen for the crows to call out to their family in the woods behind our house, just after sunrise… who needs roosters or alarm clocks… it is a slow awakening for me, and for them too apparently.

    You have great observation skills! My stainless steel frig is reflecting the blue sky (from a window).

    Thanks for playing.

    Happy Blue Monday!

    The contrast against the blue sky is fascinating.
