Here is a landscape nature photo I took of a snowy field in the Shenandoah Valley. The field's white triangle of hill meets a wedge of snow-covered trees. A white sky above reflects the snow below. The smoothness of the top and bottom of this image is contrasted by the inky texture of trees severing the scene in half.

As an artist and writer, I see paper everywhere. Negative space makes me want to recreate moments and fill in the blank. Being drawn in by this wintery expanse inspired my latest haiku:

Here is a black and white breakwater photo I took in the Bahamas, off Great Abaco. These man-made structures are designed to mimic the appearance of shoals, but their job is to protect the coast from high-energy waves and storms. The pitted rocks stretch diagonally across the sea, from right to left, like a bridge over calm waves. The sky is strewn with a delicate mixture of clouds; my favorite being the wispy cirrus in the upper right that looks like a fishbone or a feathery arrow. Between the rugged rocks and soft sky, the ocean appears wrinkly, almost silken, leading to a distant line of shore. The tinest sailboat drifts on the right, facing left.

Standing before this clutch of serenity, I couldn’t help but wonder: what stories does each rock hold? Every dip, crack, and dent becomes a word. From all angles, different pages emerge. Yet, all we can read is on the surface. What dwells deeper within or beneath the tides? An ocean of libraries. These thoughts inspired another haiku in my travel journal.

This is a macro nature photo I took of the Hellebore buds in our front yard. I planted them last year, and their displays of hardiness do not disappoint! It’s one of my favorite winter-blooming flowers. Deep forest green leaves rimmed in aubergine and violet, cradle two dark magenta buds. The largest bud faces right. Tipped upward, its outer petals catch light, revealing stomata flecks patterned like an unopened galaxy. The flower and leaves soften into a dark purple and pink background bokeh.

Like many beautiful creatures found in nature, it is important to note that Hellebore is poisonous (it contains glycosides and saponins). I wear gloves while pruning because they’re so feisty. 

Hellebore’s tenebrous allure inspired my latest haiku:

mountain creek thaws
the poison garden

This is a photo I took overlooking St. John’s Trunk Bay—one of my favorite places. In the off season, it becomes so quiet and even more beautiful. Before the trade winds pick up, the breeze feels like a sweet caress mimicked by the tides. The bay cups a blue gradient from clear aquamarine to deep indigo. Tropical green trees, distant mountains, and companion islands frame the small stretch of perfect powder-soft sand. The blue sky above holds fluffy clouds—the slow kind that morph into fairytale creatures. It’s one of the few places I actively miss and dream about. I found a piece of myself on this tiny island, under a Jumbie Tree. 

I look at this photo on dreary days. My new haiku sums up how it feels to stand in St. John’s soft waves.

Gentle wind is a local autumn kigo, as the trade winds slacken between summer and their winter peak.

This is a landscape nature photo that I took after it snowed. A curved line of snow-covered trees follow the icy road winding up a frosted hill. The cerulean sky above creates a dazzling contrast as it fades into the white distance. To the right, trees cast their cobalt shadow across a bright snow bank. Despite the cold, I couldn't help but feel comforted, and standing amid its frigid beauty, my blue heart warmed. Dedicated to Winter's first gift of the season, here is my latest haiku:

This is a macro photo I took at dusk of our last summer peony. Soft pink layers of outer petals curve in and out of light and shadows. Fine points of focus create crisp edges that stand out amid the dominant bokeh. The way peonys slowly open, reminds me that it's okay not to rush. Our story isn't a race, it's an epic saga.

Here is a macro photo I took of our last bi-color snapdragon in the front garden. The day was beautifully grey and rainy. Though there was no chance of seeing a tropical sunset, this flower held the might of dusk's glory in its misty face. This scoop of autumn sherbert glows against green peeps of background bokeh. Bending in for a closer look with my camera, I became enchanted by the perfect spheres scattered across its pink-red-orange-yellow petals. Within each crystal ball raindrop, a small universe of color and light. Their augury? My new 3-5-3 haiku:

Golden Ribbon is a landscape photo I took on horseback, riding along a dirt road. To the left, a honey-gold meadow sways. On the right, a green line of forest is accented by red maples, dotting the distance. A dirt road with its median of tawny grass, growing between the tire tracks, cuts through both scenes and disappears into the woods ahead. Above, the sky is a gradient of cerulean to light blue. Across it, brushstrokes of stratus clouds wisp from right to left. It was a beautiful autumn day that inspired my modern 3-5-3 haiku:

A macro nature photo I took of mistflowers near our forest line. These fringed fireworks are a herald of autumn. Always a delightful surprise, so delicate, wispy, and bright—even their berrylike disk florets are stunning. I shot this at an angle, to show off the variations of its floral tiers. Before the vast meadow, their periwinkle glow stands out against a green grass bokeh.

This is a macro nature photo I took of water droplets along one of the green buds, facing an open lily. Within a lower drop, the flower can be seen, magnified, highlighting details blurred by the bokeh.

Here is a macro nature photo I took of a very scrappy blue tiger swallowtail, on a purple butterfly bush, in the front yard. I’m convinced that their wings are black and blue to match their fistacuff souls. This capture happened right after it flutter-thrashed a yellow swallowtail that tried to take the flower away. It was the most beautiful “Flight Club” fight I’ve ever seen. Who knew butterflies could be so brutal? Entomologists. It is not surprising that their wings have tears, scratches, and holes.

Silhouettes of ships, gulls, buildings, a lighthouse, and jetties dot and frame the glistening ocean. A blazing column of golden light dazzles the surface of the sea, announcing the suns ascension.

The way the grass lit up around him as he approached, what a striking figure he struck before the old weathered fence and the soft swaying trees.

I awoke as fog rolled over the spring mountain, and took this landscape photo deep within the Primland forest. In wavering veils, the understory blinked in and out of its mossy bed. Half monochrome, half green—a white softness layers the distance with ghostly limbs. How hauntingly beautiful the saplings were in their slender splays of sleepy branches, appearing and disappearing like dendritic secrets.

I took this landscape photo at the foot of Denver's Rocky Mountain range. I'm guessing that the half-covered peak is Mt. Meeker? The snowstorm rolled in so quickly, it was difficult to identify without a pinnacle for reference. The scene was primarily monochromatic, and choosing black-and-white proved easy. The sweeping clouds, highlighted in morning light and shadowed by storm, add mystery to the dramatic rocky ridges laced in snow.

The background is a shadowy bokeh with green flecking. The misted stems and buds surrounding the main flower lift toward the upper left frame.

This is its first year blooming, and it decided to do so on my father's birthday. What a very special year for a very special tree. The hot pink stamen filaments look like fireworks against the soft blue and purple bokeh of the background. Pops of blurred pink hint at more surrounding blossoms. Its green buds peep and hide around the flowers like verdant mines about to burst into bloom.
