. . . For my friend Sue (one of them), whose email yesterday set me thinking of of the two-sidedness of life, the good and the bad, the joyful and the tragic . . . and how light shines brightest when seen against the dark. . .
Morning
Illuminating
The pomelo's perfection --
Pink transparency.
Midday
A shaft of daylight
Beyond the dark-shadowed barn
Sings of Spring's return.
Evening
'Nothing gold can stay. . .'
But ah! the gilded needles
On that pine up there!
'Nothing gold can stay. . .'
But ah! the gilded needles
On that pine up there!

Gorgeous photos!It's raining and Dark here.
Beautiful photographs and reflections. Thank you.
Vicki, your lovely photos reflect so heart-breakingly honestly the joy and the pain that have been part of our lives in the past few weeks. I will share your blog with the immediate family; they will feel very honored. Thank you, my dear friend.
Oh, my goodness! I posted my first comment before it dawned on me that this was(MUCH)more than gorgeous photos and exquisite sentiments. This was a complete poetic tribute. Your Haikus are as lovely as your photos - your diverse talents continue to amaze me.
Lovely words and photos! Your first macro shot is especially nice!
Thanks to all of you for the nice words. Sue, I have you all in my heart.
Willow, I'm particularly proud of that pomelo (what an amazing fruit!) picture. Click on it to 'biggify' for the full effect -- it's really pretty cool.
Vicki, those are some gorgeous pictures, and I love the Haikus! What does a Pomelo taste like? I've never had one.
Like a grapefruit but not as tart nor as juicy. Grapefruits are, I'm told, the result of a cross between pomelos (also called shaddocks) and oranges.
We have cousins in Florida who grow all kinds of exotic citrus on their land and this is one of theirs
Oh, I bet they're delicious! I'll have to look for them. And I've learned something new...I never knew that grapefruits are a hybrid.
