Carpe Diem #882 beneath the stars of the deep north: low tide crossing, July
pine needles quiver
in orange glow of sunrise
venus still shines
~~~
the night air hot
late in October –
a wren still chirps
Carpe Diem #881 following Basho into the deep north: Mount Atsumi; a hot day’s sun; Kisagata silk tree
mimosa blossoms
quiver in the breeze
of hummingbird wings
Carpe Diem #880 secrets unveiled of the Deep North: coolness, cloud peaks, not permitted to tell
trickling water
the scent of magnolia
lingering

Carpe Diem #879 On our way to Mogamigawa: summer rains, admirable
summer rain
how quickly the river
floods over the road
mist and rain
a walk through the clouds
this summer morning
summer rains
the peony bows her head
from weight of tears
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carpe Diem #878 the journey continues: an eyebrow brush; such stillness
This spring when we had climbed to the top of Chimney Rock there was no view. You could barely see the edge of the mountain where it was engulfed in thick clouds. It was as if everything had been swallowed up, even the sounds and if you got to close you would just disappear.
mountain summit
clouds engulf the view
silence hanges
~~~
a wren’s voice
parting the clouds
atop the mountain
Carpe Diem #872 our journey continues: across the field; one patch of a rice field; roots of elegance
This past March we hiked through the beautiful woods of North Carolina.
spring walk
what a joy to find
trillium
at the alter
of the rotting tree
half a walnut
