    A little bit of shade fails to cool the surroundings much. Keep the umbrella handy so as to not melt in the Sonoran sun…

        Thank you! I found myself composing haiku in my head as I walked through the park to go to zumba yesterday. I enjoy playing with words, but I struggle to fit everything in (both in the blog and in the ‘real world’ 🙂 ) The intentions are good 🙂

    What a beautiful sight! Must be nice to stop there for a while when you are out for a walk.

    What a great haiku, MMT, wilting umbrella, how perfect! It sounds like you are into very uncomfortable heat. It has just dropped more than 20 degrees here 14C (57F) I was shocked when I got up but with the rain, feels more like April showers today. Wish some of this rain could go West

    The shadows are making the rock into a face of a large animal…hippo? He’s chewing the greens. I love it.

    Hope the heat subsides a bit! It’s actually chilly here north of Toronto this morning. And we too.
