Haiku 86/365 Only Two Days Left

After looking at this blog on my phone I've decided to add the haiku here as text so it's easier to see:

Just two days left-

how I will miss twinkling lights

and ornament tales.

To me this is one of the nicest tress we've ever had. I have truly enjoyed sitting on the couch with my pup and reading and writing while enjoying this view. 

Tomorrow I will try to remember to take a picture of it with my good camera.

85/365 Sweet Simplicity

This is an image from 2010 that popped up on my Facebook memories today. 

I've searched for the original image but no luck so this is not a great quality image. 

I will continue to search...

84/365 Unusual Colors

This was taken while snowshoeing around Moss Lake in the Adirondacks last winter. Hopefully snow and cold will return soon and I'll go up to check them out again.

83/365 On Warmer Days

We saw this tree along the lake in Canandaigua, NY today. It looks like a great climbing tree to me, although I've never climbed a tree!

82/365 Vibrant Hues are Scarce

Another picture from yesterday's hike. Today we are back to our usual gray skies.

81/365 Christmas Blues Won't Last

Our Christmas celebration was fun but things were a bit different this year and the house was picked up and quiet by 1. I started to feel a bit of a Christmas let down and knew the best remedy was to take our pup and get outside and enjoy this beautiful day! And of course it worked perfectly. Then we snuggled on the couch and I finished up my library book, Becoming by Michelle Obama. A book I highly recommend. :)

80/365 Ready for Christmas

79/365 Feeder is Empty

78/365 A Little Sampling

This was from a recent trip to AZ. We only got out for one short walk in the dessert, always a treat.

I know the text is hard to read so here it is:

A small sampling

does anyone count the spines

of a might giant?

77/365 Trying to Be Good

Our Springer Spaniel, Lizzi, is one and a half now. Some days I think she's beginning to grow up but then other days.... :) But she's a beauty and I love her.

Haiku 76/365 Friends Munch Munch Munch

Hornworm caterpillars came close to destroying all our tomato plants very quickly this summer. I ended up finding about 7 of them on the plants. They are very well disguised despite their size. 

Haiku 75/365 Bursting With Color

I've been looking back at some pictures from the past year and selected this one from August.

Haiku 74/365 Heavy Snow Provides

73/365 Drip Drop One by One

I sat with my son and his sister in law as he received his 5th chemo treatment today. 

One more to go and things are looking good. 

And a happy Macro Monday!

Haiku 72/365 Dear Mother Nature

Haiku 71/365 Stop Thief!

Haiku 70/365 So Full of Contrasts

Trying to get back into the swing of Haiku a Day is a bit like getting back into exercising every day-a struggle but I'm getting there on both parts. :)

Haiku 69/365 Early Morning Ride

This was my son and a group of friends doing a ride from Saranac Lake to Saranac Brewery two summers ago. Next summer I'm planning on doing this ride and possibly another ride through the same area but a longer distance. #RetirementGoals #StayingFitAndHealthy

Haiku 68/365 Turkeys in the Neighborhood

Sorry for the poor photo. It was taken with my phone and highly cropped. Now my goal is to capture them with my good camera. They are around that area quite a bit this time of year.

Haiku 67 Delicate Fragile

I've been out of town and got a little behind. I've decided instead of scrambling to get caught up I'll just continue on. However, here's an extra haiku with some of the rules for this week's Macro Monday selection:

Starts with a vowel

No more than three inches big

Egg Ornament it is.

Haiku 64/365 Showing Its Age

Yesterday we went for a short hike at Usery Park near Mesa, AZ. 

I loved looking at the different textures in the dying Saguaro cactus. 

Haiku 63 Looks so Inviting

Haiku 62/365 Art at the Airport

Don't care for the font on this one but will let it go this time. This is at the Albany Airport. I like how they frequently change their art displays. 

Haiku 61/365 Cute Stuffed Animals

Last night was Teddy Bear Toss night at the college hockey game. It's becoming a tradition that we take our animals to Gerber's Tavern for a UC and take their pictures before the game. The game is a sell out and the animals are tossed on the ice after the first UC goal. All the animals go to local organizations to be distributed to children. 

Today was a travel day for me so while on the plane I did yesterday's and today's haiku in Pic Collage for something a little different.
