    Cherry blossoms = mortality so true !
    I love the way you have a background on your haiku makes them even more special

    Fragile those blossoms
    All things come and all things go
    So -- carpe diem

    Beautiful haiku on sakura. The blossom is stunning but it will soon fade. One can appreciate the beauty while it lasts

    Thanks for visiting my blog today. It is good to see a Gloucester-based blog. I grew up half an hour down route 128 and my family has multiple connections to Salem State. I hope the blizzard treats you kindly.

    Awesome haiku Carol ... the fragility of Sakura caught in a few words ... her life short but full of joy.

    I find myself railing often against the shortness of life. I wonder if the cherry blossom does the same...

    Carol, this might be a repeat post... Google was giving me a little bit of trouble. I hope you can throw one of them away if it is.! Beautiful pictures and haiku. They always seem to tie together so beautifully on your combo posts.

    I hope you and the wonderful ArtMuse puppy are staying warm and cozy and dry in this awful weather. Take care!!!

    I love the pictures, particularly the one from snow. They are beautiful!!! Here we don't have snow, just in the mountains and we took our kids to enjoy some of that this morning.

    Have a great day!
