Notes:
- Our assignment was to write Haiku about the expression of nature – we’ll celebrate and recognize haiku today because today is NATIONAL HAIKU POETRY DAY –April 17!! -- National Haiku Foundation blog (link)
- We’ll speak in the tongue of nature…any facet of the wild-natural-world that we choose. Express your poetry today in the traditional style of haiku or step into a modern manifestation of haiku in English.
- In my three-set poem, I probably started with Haiku and ended with Senryū.
- There was a White Heron trying to catch fish but I didn't get its picture.

I really like that second one, Jim!
Lovely afternoon in haiku and images...I like that you included your nature friends, too, Jim...thank you for writing.
geckos, herons, sunshine - love! The trash is a sad commentary on the laziness of people.
Sounds like a good life Jim.. long lunches... mmm.
These are very good, Jim. My favourite is the herons.
Who wouldn't want to eat out on a lovely afternoon as presented in your awesome pictures! And wonderful collection of haikus too :D Hope you are having a great day!!
PS: I wanted you to read my article/interview.

its lovely eating out and being able to observe nature; i have to agree, the trash is a bit of a let down though
thanks for dropping in to read mine
much love...
looks like you went all over town
Sweet haiku, Jim. I am glad you pick up trash!!!! and maybe there are too many party boats! I once spent a few days on Lake Conroe--it was super nice. (My brother is a professor at TAMU.) k.
Great work on your haiku, Jim! Sounds like a wonderful outing!
I enjoyed all of these and the photos are stunning...my kind of views. I'm a water sign and thought it meant nothing but I do gravitate toward water.
Thanks for visiting. We've had fresh bass but no turtle or catfish yet.
Have a blessed weekend.
Sounds and looks like a great afternoon! :o)
that joy is beautifully held in these lines and lens and delights us...lovely set :)
Lovely outing, I want to see a Heron!
...And I am there.
Love the photos. Looks like a perfect outing. Your second haiku is my favorite
Nice! I'm reading for a day like that.
I enjoyed your evolution from haiku to senryū. Not just because I was envying the wonderful day you had, but because it was written skillfully and light. Also, because from nature comes man... so your transition makes perfect sense.
Sounds like the perfect day.
