DANS L’ÉTANG.

7 haïkus (dans le même ordre que les photos auxquelles ils correspondent):

1) Lac Memphrémagog… Comme un serpent de mer, je Rampe sur la glace

2) La bordée de neige, Tel le mont Orford, s’assoit… Sur le paysage

3) Un, deux kilomètres À pied, ça use, ça use… Les bottes d'hiver

4) Au lac des Nations, Comme un poisson dans la neige… Je marche sur l’eau

5) S’y posent pluies, neige… La paume de ma main tient Le cercle de vie

6) Rayons du soleil… Sur vous, je fais de la luge, Glissant dans le soir

Sometimes I get high on life or love and I disappear into some kind of emotional Xanadu for a while. I love these seasons. Where everything is possible. And anything can happen. And then, for whatever reason, it’s gone. It’s hard to come down from that high place. I’m still working on it. 

This new demo is a sad one. But it’s beautiful. (I promise to write at least one happy song this year…)

Here is February’s song with random footage taken at and around High Place Cottage in Tasmania. 

Plant of the Day

Thursday 10 September 2020

This white flowered hardy Hibiscus was making a great display in this front garden; possibly it was the cultivar Hibiscus syriacus 'Totus Albus' (rose of Sharon). This deciduous shrub needs a sunny location with a free-draining soil to grow and flower well.
