It is the Fifth Month,
But still the Heaven-high hills
Shine with snow. ~ Li T’ai-Po

like little dots
little billows in a row…
little clouds ~Issa (cited: haikuguy.com)

making the park
a vacation spot…
spring trees

Leya invites photographers to explore and enjoy different interpretations of two little words: Spots and Dots

Well…it’s just that…you know…really….it’s been a rough year…

a dandelion garden submitted for this week’s lens-artists’ photo challenge.

The grass does not refuse

To flourish in the spring wind;

The leaves are not angry

At falling through the autumn sky.

Who with whip or spur

Can urge the feet of Time?

The things of the world flourish and decay,

Each at its own hour. ~Li Po (cited: Trans: A Waley & B Li, The Poet Li Po. Project Gutenberg Ebook)
