August 6, 2019. After a long trip comes an indefinite period of prowling through camera images and phrases noted in journals, piecing together highlights of experiences to be savored (likely not repeated). In June we camped several days in the National Forest up above Cloudcroft NM, where we frequent in August for the annual Gathering Of Circles. This year our mountain time had to be earlier, as Gary’s school year shifted earlier. Tonight the Gathering begins; but yesterday teachers were already back at Stony Point High School. Since I cannot be at the Gathering, I am instead immersed in photos and memories of June’s mountain bliss. Wild irises were in bloom – something I’d never seen before, as they finish their cycle well before August. I found this haiku in my journal.
Nice!

Beautiful! The words of the Haiku are beautiful and I love the way you did the image with the yellow background.

Thank you – striving to get “sunshine” somehow into the image hence the golden background.

I can almost feel the sun on my skin. 🙂 Nice verbal snapshot.

Thank you … warmth somewhat relative, the sunshine was a welcome “blanket” that morning!

Lovely photo, Jazz. My yard is filled with ‘domesticated’ irises but oh, what a blessing to find a field of wild ones.

How exquisite – I love that your haiku totally wraps up the image and transports us there.
