First, I ADORE those scarecrows. I see them for sale in Walmart and don’t buy one because I really have no room, so any chance I get to just discover one in my environment, I really enjoy it. They bring all sorts of happy thoughts and feelings to mind.

And speaking of expectations,I do that all the time, saying so-and-so wants me to do so-and-so, when it’s really all in my own mind! As for what I expect when I visit here, I expect beauty, to learn, to think, to appreciate, to feel good, to be moved, surprises…

And I’m never disappointed!

Haiku Chains of Cumuli

Clouds in the window
captured on the pristine pane
should be floating free.

Did they ask to be
photographed, artificial
stained glass wannabes

caught within the frame–
white wisps on blue ice panels
behind mini blinds?

What criminal act,
what trespass holds cumulus
prisoner like this?

The bars, like magic,
part. A gesture of pardon
from the creator?

Taketh and giveth.
The hand that trips the shutter
edits their way out.
