Three haiku

Code orange rain warning.

It's a black and white matter,

why would we lie?

[Click to see orange!]

Through prismatic rain

Richard of York gave battle...

found gold at the end

Molly on the shore,

a salty sea dog, really

feeling much better!

    I particularly like that first one, Lucy. Haiku + humour. And the rainbow is astonishing.

  6. What a nice job you did. Took a while for m to clue in to the fact that it was haiku because I didn't read the title but rather looked at the pictures and went from there. Silly me. And lovely pictures.

    Like that triptych...

    And I'd like the middle one for a book cover (mine, of course!)

  9. Thanks all.

    The rainbow really was that vivid, though a little tinkering was required to make it look not more so than life but more like it really was, it was one of those moments of extraordinary rainy evening light, not many of the pictures I tried to take did it justice. I suppose if I were clever with Photoshop I could swipe out the power lines, but I don't know...

    Glad to get a vote for the cows, Dick!

  10. I'm happy to hear that Molly is healthy and fiesty again.

    I like your black and whites, but that gold is extraordinary.

  13. Bee, welcome back!
    Sheila - Richard of York gave battle in vain - ROYGBIV - is the mnemonic we were often taught to remember the colours of the rainbow. I always found them perfectly easy to remember anyway, but the phrase had a certain poetic curiosity value!
    Zephyr - thank you!
