Birdhouse Vacancy Haiku

birdhouse vacancy

while tenants fly southward

and trees tough it out

I must confess that as December approaches,

I daydream about overwintering someplace warm and sunny.

But I’d miss my family and friends.

Warm Blessings ~ Wendy

Mallard Duck Haiku

Mallard duck couples

waddling, wading, and flying

always together

I find birds challenging to photograph or paint;

but you only learn and improve if you take risks trying.

Relationships are like that too.

Blessings ~ Wendy

I painted this from a photograph I’d taken down by the dock.

It amazed me how different the leaves were from each other.

All beautiful. All family. Us.

I’m trying to be more adventurous with my art.

In this picture I’ve included the backdrop that was in the photograph I took.

Sometimes a camera shot looks like a painting too.

Blessings on your weekend ~ Wendy
