Haiku My Heart: Hummingbird

This is the original shot;
below I played once again
at PicMonkey.

questioning from whence
photographer snapped her shots
inside or outside?

God's delight...
wings of hummingbird,
mine as well!

linking with delight
with our enchanting hostess Rebecca
at Haiku My Heart

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs.

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
