beneath the rock
delicate flowers-
baby’s fontanelle
It's been over a week since we hiked at Cedar Bluffs, but I've been so crazy busy I haven't had time until now to download the photographs.
The place was brimming, absolutely brimming with wildflowers. So many colors and sizes and shapes. At one point, we looked across Clear Creek and noticed a whole field of blue.
I love the combination of rocks and flowers. One so hard, the other so soft. Paired together they make such a contrast, yet such wonderful examples of the natural around us.
Went up to Indy on Saturday to do a haiku workshop. It was at the Writers Center there and we did a ginko, a walk before writing haiku. The place is situated on the banks of the White River and it had some beautiful gardens behind it interspersed with dramatic sculptures from a museum there. Violas, tulips and dogwood were all in bloom. And a green spider had made a very large spiderweb in one of the crooks of a crooked little house. He sat there in the bright sun waiting for his next meal. Two geese flew above the riffles of the river. A very charming scene.
Inside we talked some about Issa who wrote many insect poems (not that a spider is an insect) but there were gnats and bumblebees too. All and the poets too looking for sustenance.
