Exploring WordPress as a Platform
HAIKU
Full moon in the west
with sunrise creating pink
streaks on purple skies
up above the roof
with my lime tree reaching toward
heaven … filled with fruit.
Wondrously the new
day dawns … moon sets … sunrise rules
turning skies bright blue!
What a contrast with
foggy skies I shared last week …
Vive la difference!

I'm a happily retired teacher. Originally blogging as storyteller, I've changed my avatar early in 2010 to reflect my recent growing interest in photography. You might recognize me from one of my three original Blogger-based sites: Small Reflections Sacred Ruminations Blog Rolls, Bling and Blurbs If you don't, click to learn more about me. Welcome to my first WordPress site. I hope you'll look around, leave me a comment or two, and check back as often as time permits.

It’s beautiful. I’ve tried to photograph the moon and it’s very difficult. You did an amazing job! Very well done. Happy Friday!!!
I’m looking at the sky here.

What a differense indeed. You seem to have regained the glory of a clear sky with its lovely morning shades of pink. Could you send us here in the north a bit of Differense too – please.
Wishing you a great weekend. We are celebrating 91 years of independence tomorrow so some Differense would be much appreciated for our Independence Day (but not of the kind that the movie with that same name brought with it).

I’m a happily retired teacher, too! I love your Sky Watch photo. Funny but I have a blog group of people I visit and who visit me who are retired teachers, too. I guess we’ve managed to find one another.

It doesn’t get much sweeter: a fresh lime, a clear sky and a marvelous sunset.

What a huge difference. Such beautiful words to go along with some amazing pictures. I wish that we had some blue sky’s in my part of the world. Only cloudy with snow. Thanks for sharing.
