Distant Storm

Storm in the distance
Sheets of rain pound desert rock
Silent flash of light

Navaho Sheep

Navaho Churro
Grazing beside the highway
Coarse wool, good rug yarn

Pink Flowerbox

Unexpected blooms
in a shiny pink toilet
One way to reuse!

Bicycle

Antique bicycle
One huge wheel, one tiny wheel
How do you get on?

Silverton

Fear inhabits me
on the road to Silverton
Panic in my mind

Black Canyon of the Gunnison

Gunnison River
eroding crystalline rock
Black Canyon beauty

Rocky Mountain High

My attitude soars
as altitude increases
Rocky Mountain High

Estes Park

Early morning fog
Cool mountain air surrounds me
while my children sleep

Note: I am back to posting. I will try and actually post daily (I should have named this the Weekly Haiku - it would have been more realistic. :)
I will be using photos and memories from my recent trip across the southwestern US with my two teenagers.
