That's exactly the right attitude. Hee Hee. If I remember, I'll try too. It will be like performance dance. Grin.

The black creatures are settled in for the night (roost is in nearby park) -- as settled as possible with a very bright moon shining on them!

It must be very funny for someone watching someone else cavorting and contorting, trying in vain (99% of time) to catch a leaf!!!

Having a mouse moment. ✍️🐁✨

a chill in the night
the cemetery ravens
huddle close like winged fog

Oh gosh, I haven't tried yet this year. It's hard to catch them! Have you had any success? 🤎 ps Love the photo.

Several leaves flying through the air (it's super windy here today), with a mostly cloudy sky above. I miss 95% of them, but that doesn't keep me from trying!

I'm 57 and still get a kick out of trying to catch leaves as they fall!

Cool!

Orange and brown skipper, possibly a Peck's skipper. on a pink-purple salvia.

Photo of a brown inchworm, possibly a New Jersey Leafroller, on a green raspberry leaf.

Close-up photo of a European hornet (Vespa crabro), the only true hornet species found in North America. It is characterized by its reddish-brown head and thorax, and a yellow and brown striped abdomen. These large hornets, are 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.8 cm) in length, with queens being slightly larger than workers. They are considered one of the largest wasps in their native range.

We don’t associate power with fragile beauty. We think of it as bluster and hard edge.Too many words used and things left broken. A flower pushes its way through and we notice, petals soon to be taken by the wind but here it is, in desolation. We fall to our knees.

OPEN DOORS ON THE STREETS OF PARIS

#dailyhaikuprompt #nightchill

night chill
surrounding a late rose
glittering hoarfrost

You #associate red laughter with triangles, trills, triceratops. Bluebells drip from your eyes to my hands. I juggle them like irresponsible fruit. Each blink rearranges towns. Roads of light humming; we cross nowhere & everywhere. Joy folds the world in and out of itself.

the gentle honk of a circus cloud drifting across the sky

A little bird with a yellow breast and a splash of blue on the top of its head, perched on the crossbar of a Parisian window. In the near background are a potted rosemary and a potted pink heather.

[Nice animals of my neighborhood, an occasional series]

A mésange bleue (Cyanistes caeruleus) from the courtyard appears at one of the kitchen windows to ask about borrowing a cup of insects.

Orange streaks across blue grey are reflected in water. A thin slope of land divides the picture.

How the day ends. ✨
