herons circle

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



summer solitude -
two herons circle
to gain hight




:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


They are extremely beautiful
in contrast with the green walls of my valley !


They came in from the lowest entry to our rather small round valley and circled their way up, as they always do in the evening spin of the wind.
With the bamboo and forest so green, they were just beautiful, first seing their white backs way down, then at eye level and finally against the blue sky up high ... and off over the highest part of the valley to the next one ...

Lovely haiku. It reminds me of many such sightings.

Heron over water
Shadow dancing
On waves
