Dale loves new toys, but she gets tired of them just as quickly. The toys that require human interaction are the ones she likes most. Those, and squeaky toys! The squeaky toys can get a bit tiresome at times however.

She really liked this toy since it had a rope attached to it for playing tug-of-war. She chewed that rope up in only a few days. That simply reflects her boredom and the fact that I didn't spend enough time with her or give her enough exercise. Lesson learned!

Rise above the tide

Iron gates control the flow

Taming of the Earth

Light breaks across the fields, her warmth, her life, awoken.

紫の花には暖かい陽光が満ちている。

Stand upright, stand out.

Breaking the singular mold.

Overcome gray ash.

田んぼを分断する小さな運河が流れている。

Small canal brings life to the rice muddy rice paddies.

​Fly high and rebound.
Lost among old traditions.
Pain of who you are.
#haiku #俳句 #badminton #rainbow #バドミントン

 

Strong, sturdy, enduring.
Reflections are deceiving.
Confidence falters.
​#haiku #俳句 #tower #送電鉄塔

 

​Red waving in the wind; black flowing silently; rusty Tiffany blue guarding school children.
