Two Worlds / One Valley [Haiku]

Photograph taken in Stepantsminda down the Terek River valley towards Russia.
sunny mountains;
down the valley farmers
socked in by clouds.

Sunny Day [Haiku]

blooms disheveled
by yesterday's storms,
shine brightly today.

The Way [Haiku]

the mountain trail rounds
from shady to sunny side,
where caves line the path.

Dramatic Entrance [Haiku]

an egret flares
to a dramatic landing
in a sunny grass patch.
