Crafty Green Boyfriend took this photo in the Royal Botanic Gardens on Saturday. Meanwhile the robin was flying around, feeding at our feet and then finding perches to sing from.
A Welshman posted a robin ku this morning. What's going on on your side of the Atlantic? We're expecting 12-18 inches of snow starting around midnight.
This is a beautiful shot, the water drops are fantastic:) Thank you so much for your comment and sorry for my delay, boys have kept me busy, the oldest has finally gone back to school!
a great pairing of photo and poem. witch hazel is not common in Hungary, so I did some research and found the plant flowers in October. ? anyway, the minute I looked at the photo I felt spring :)) although we've got to wait almost another 2 months...
HI Szelsofa - its always early in the year over here, but there are different species of witch hazel and some may bloom at different times in different places...
Beautiful ekphrastic Haiku, CGP. A perfect pairing of image and word.
ReplyDeleteIs just Amazing!!!

Briliant.
hi crafty green - this is a really lovely picture. i love to look inside the water drops in pictures like this to see what i can see!! cool. steven
ReplyDeleteLove both. Witch hazel is something I want to add to my garden this year.
ReplyDeleteReally a nice photo, Juliet - beauty all around us!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photograph, and words to give me a soundtrack. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe beauty of your haiku is that it works quite well without the photo. Yet, the pairing makes them stronger.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed both.
It looks a bit like a sea-anemone, doesn't it? I love the image and the addition of the robin in the haiku makes it perfect.

ReplyDeleteHow interesting to see the flower - I have some "witch hazel" in my medicine cabinet.
