Another good year
For sweet crab apple jelly
John Downie prevails
Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o

Another good year
For sweet crab apple jelly
John Downie prevails

England’s deep south west
reaching wide around Lyme bay
with ripe spring pastures
An olive grove trail
winds towards the azure sea
shall we wander there?

Bold sunrise promise
of a dazzling Algarve day
summer’s on the way
Today is my last of seven posts for the Nature Photo Challenge, began by Ulli, and passed to me by the lovely Amy. It coincides with my regular Thursday haiku, which I try to write based on the natural world, in the true spirit of haiku, so it made sense to combine the two.
Thanks to Amy, Ulli and my friends for joining in. If you want to take part in the challenge please run with it and enjoy!

The Sycamore moth
a bold and fluffy surprise
gift of prickly heat
Glowing St Peters
spreading such heavenly light
for a thousand years

Lush sprouting hedgerow
the tender lime green hawthorn’s
bright new leaves of spring
