Quick darting glitter
His beautiful red necklace
Takes ones breath away

Haiku: Hurry…Monarchs to Mexico or California

“The mystery of migrating monarch butterflies has captured the attention of people throughout the world. East of the continental divide in North America, monarchs generally migrate to central Mexico from as far away as Ontario, Canada. Monarchs west of the divide fly to the coast of California to spend the winter. They cluster together on tree limbs during the winter months in California by the thousands, and in Central Mexico by the millions.”

Haiku: Puffy Cloud

Simple water drops
A cumulus cotton ball
White on the blue sky

A Silvery Checkerspot
Puddling on a mushroom
Miniature beauty

Haiku: Sedum

August begins bloom
Long lasting through November
Bumble bees delight

Blooming sedum in August
Many times overlooked, a profusely blooming Sedum in August

Haiku: The gentle climber

Graceful pink and white

A rose that travels upward

Resting so gently
