Old pines do a shadow dance.


hiking up parched hills
through the coolness of the pines—
ten more miles to go

    Looks very close to where I’m at right now. Big honking pines, and of course the redwoods.

    Perfect for a shadowy photo session but I guess, too hot for a hiking mood. LoL*

    Happy SSS, Maam MT.

    Oh that’s a nice place to have some cover against the sun, but i guess in your part of the world the people really go out to display their bodies to the sun. Here we cannot do that as the sun’s heat is so intense. Ten miles is still a long way, it is difficult to cover in our temperatures.

    The haiku has perfectly complemented the picture… 🙂
