Oh, what lovely images your haiku conjures! I love "sparks in dusky sky" and "luna's fire erupts."

Lovely art, too. I can't tell the medium you chose to work in, from the computer image. Is it pastels? The background is especially nice.

I love this. Both the painting and the haiku. The painting .. I just love it. I have seen the crane migration near Valentine, Nebraska several times. They are awesome creatures. Your haiku is wonderful, suggestion the connection between the winged and the heavens. Great!

Peace.

Meri,
This is simply stunning. Your painting is almost Asian in its quality and line and then it breaks out in stained glass song. It is utterly fantastic, really! I am reminded of the Crane dance festival upcoming in Albuquerque, which I will sadly miss because it is in November.I am still here in the southwest and coming home tomorrow. Beautiful, poetic haiku--deep, Autumnal imagery.

Noelle

A Girl and Her Dog

It's Sepia Saturday again. Since my dear mother is recovering  from shoulder replacement surgery, I thought I'd feature her image this week. This is little Betty with her dog Spot. She was born in a small town in Oregon, the third of four sisters. The Depression defined her childhood, though I don't know how much she knew or understood. Her high school years were spent in the shadow of World War Two. She went to college at a time when women sought an "MRS." degree. She had a lovely singing voice and often performed  as the vocalist for weddings and funerals. I remember once when I was really little that she was on television in Indianapolis. She worked in the library at Butler University, putting Hubby through school, so to speak. She worked on and off through my childhood, when working mothers were somewhat odd and not at all normative. It wasn't a matter of personal choice as much as necessity, because her husband's ministerial salary couldn'...
