Why so difficult

to accept what is, only,

and only what is.

I saw a snake scared

That was Wednesday afternoon

Still thinking how scared

Early haiku for Santa

What do I need most?

Breath, trees, people to love.

Freedom, that is all.

My fingers are cold

Blood hides with heart this morning

Haikus stay dormant

Fence haiku

Neighbour´s chickens clucking

behind the rough, weathered fence.

No steps yet on grass.

Opportunity

purring on the study stool.

Green sways behind glass.

Winter morning haiku

Nature waits in still

Two crows and a shy cooing

Cold, cold morning sky

Fading haiku

Yesterday's faint lure

lingers like a smoking page.

Morning sings a song.

It is very quiet

Today is diminishing

Visiting cat yawns

Winter picture after yoga

From Sylvia Plath's poem "Tulips"":

"... I didn't want any flowers, I only wanted

To lie with my hands turned up and be utterly empty.

How free it is, you have no idea how free..."

In a hurry

I wish I could have my professional website up and running SOON!

Anyway, here is a flower. Let's breathe...

Edible yellow in the afternoon sun

Plant photography is really therapeutic. It is a full on mindfulness exercise.

I have relented... and will start instagramming soon. I have a feeling about the Insta business though, and that feeling is that when I finally start putting my pictures in the Instagram, it will be old fashioned and there will be a new fad, and then I have to think about it for a few years whilst some people will nudge and poke me to do that fad, and so the cycle continues etc etc.

When I started blogging in the beginning of the Naughties, I was amongst the first I think. Now that I don't hang about web so much anymore, I am reluctant to learn new things and be exposed. But, as said, I have relented... Insta could be fun.

I took a few pictures yesterday. Like this one here. The plant was given to me by my daughter a while back. It keeps giving one faint purple flower at a time.

Am I purple that climbs up a bush?

I remembered this blog tonight because someone else was talking about blogging tonight, and not liking it. I don't know if I like it. I suppose I do. I like writing although I rarely write anymore. I remember when I still liked it a lot. That was in the early naughties. I was very much into it, the whole blogging thing, until I ended up being mentioned in an article, and I stopped. A friend recently said I HAVE to be on Instagram. I tried to say that I DON'T have to because there is nothing that I would gain from it. You only HAVE to be there if you have a business. She has one. I don't. The day might arrive though.

These flowers are climbing a bush. That's the way!
