Early Summer Haiga

Drifting...Soaring

BlueRidge, how many ancestors walked your valleys? summer grasses.

Summer clouds drifting … fragrant gardenia

on this gentle breeze soars memory — flock of white cranes

the stillness of Gulf sunset/pelicans return to roost — simply being

serenity holds no fear

both comfort and longing for home in each valley - hireath

The range of haiga today includes settings of any Japanese short form poetry in a variety of graphical settings, including traditional brushwork, oil and w'atercolor art, photographs, computer-generated images, and even crafts such as needlework…”
