summer stained fingers
undress the hearts of flowers
pollen falls like stars
***
i love fridays.
when i have the honor of opening each one of you for the impossibly
exquisite flowers you are.
thank you for brightening our world.
now come, please, haiku
my heart...
Buzzing into the heart of summer, this little ritual has become my new way to 'come home'.

On Friday mornings, I wake up with that 'special feeling' - Haiku day! I can't believe this feeling grew so fast, and I enjoy it every time... haiku Friday has become part of my life. Thanks again, dear Rebecca!

My fingers are stained
from picking haiku flowers
from dawn until dusk.

You are a flower in my heart Rebecca. Beautiful photo, nature doing its work. I look forward to Fridays too. Visiting friends, seeing fabulous photos and reading personal feelings, whimsical, romantic, heart warming, thought provoking and peaceful haiku. You are the flower, we are the bees.
Peace

rebecca,
so stunning, these red branches tinged with gold dust. You are passionate about red this summer. I love that. Such beauty here and such a tender capture. I am glad for the weekend and grateful for this Friday gathering as well, to be included among good friends with you. I have reposted from Aug. 2010. I made it bigger and brighter and so there are no comments. You will remember it but for some reason I was feeling nostalgic about it last night, such a lovely image and one of my earliest from a photographer friend in Germany.
Have a wonderful 4th my dear.
All My Love,
Noelle
