    The photos are so insightful. I like the black and white through the window the best. Haikus are little poems with lots of meaning. I think yours are very well done. Thank you for commenting on my post. Have a blessed Easter.

    Hi Carol and Zoe! Hope you are keeping warm. The photos are beautiful although it looks a little cold. The black and white photos are my favorite. The backgrounds for your haiku and your watercolor painting are so pretty. I'm glad to be back out and visiting again. I've missed you and Zoe (who looks just precious as always).

    A wonderful post, I like that watercolor painting very well, nice and colorful. Your haiku are really well composed and (of course) the one for Carpe Diem is a gem. Thank you for sharing Carol.

    I do love the East Coast - it is surprisingly rustic in most places. At least, surprising to one whose view of the East Coast is that of one who lives in the Midwest. Like, who knew there were all those hills in the Bronx? My vision of New York is flat - vertical and flat.

    Anyway - love the Haiku - all of them. Thank you for being part of Haiku Friday, Carol.

    Dandelions are weeds to some, medicinal herbs to others, and a delight to the eyes of many! It's all a matter of perspective, is it not?

    What a very happy cup of yellow flowers that is! Love it! Your haikus struck a chord with me this week...my monkey mind has surely been racing, we are definitely reveling in springtime joy, and the war of the dandelions is in full swing at our place. It's us or them :-)
