Picnic Lakeside
You see a whole new world when you look closely. I had the opportunity to picnic the other day by the lake, and after eating I read a book on a blanket for a while, and then began to dabble with macro photos, of wildflowers, common flowers, clover, dandelions, buttercups, etc. - and then I began to see the ants. They were taking pleasure in the crumbs – and so this haiga.
I hope you get a chance to look at the finer details in life today. Look at the patterns in bark, the underworld in grass, the intricacies of flowers, there is so much fascination at your fingertips, you just have to take a moment to see, and I hope you do.

Beautiful background, cute haiku.
Had a little extra time to play…and it was a play kind of mood when I wrote the haiku…always look forward to hearing from you.
I always enjoy reading and admiring your posts.
I always enjoy reading your comments as well…still haven’t figured out how to get your comments from going to the spam folder – I keep working on it…sorry there is always a delay in receiving your comments…I need to check here more often…
I used to get follower’s comments in my spam as well. I did something different and now they don’t go there anymore, but I cannot remember what I did. So many times I do things by trial and error until they work.
if you remember that would be great…it is only yours that go there, as did this one…I am aware of it now…so I look…have a great day
You have a great day as well, Kris.
