Freezing Morning




冬日差し 解ける雪の 輝きを






waking up
to the morning sun -
the heart still freezing









oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

and a little later on the large stone,
life and death unfolds


winter sunshine -
the snow sparkles
as it melts



:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Some Comments:

Wow! Gabi, breath taking :)

Best, Bill

Firework







after the rain -
a firework explodes
on the ground






this special morning -
firework chrysanthemums

enjoying a bath




:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

These flowers are called "Firework Chrysanthemums", hanabigiku 花火菊.

Chrysanthemum is a kigo for All Autumn. The stronger varieties flower until way past the first snow.

Here are some more from my garden.
