October Haiku
Scattered aimlessly
Fallen leaves litter the ground
Dying in color

Haiku: Hiking in the Rain
Valuable lesson learned – download everything before you hike. I was shocked to find that cellular coverage was spotty in a park in the middle of Raleigh. The things you learn.
Wandering the woods
Rain drops falling through the trees
Soaking wet and lost
A Rainy Hike filled with Wrong Turns, Bad Directions, and Spotty Cellular Coverage

Daily Prompt
What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?
Exercise helps to keep me mentally fit and healthy. I also started day hiking when time permits. Nothing like getting out in nature. Keeps the mind and body healthy. This is one of my recent hikes.
I also write, read, and watch movies.
Anything to help with mental well being.
Sometimes I just turn everything off and let silence surround me.
It’s important to me to keep a healthy mind as well as a healthy body.

Haiku: Salty Lightning
Distant horizon
Streaking across the warm waves
Lightning flashing bright
I went down to the beach at sunrise and stumbled onto this light show. Amazing to stand in the sand and watch this.
Need a beach break today. These links could help.

Vultures
I did a series of shorts on my Verse of Nature Channel for vultures. I saw this bird eating a carcass in our neighborhood and then sitting on a roof. Looked ominous. Grabbed my phone and started recording.
First up is the first short – the one from the roof top.
Second one is from a driveway.
And feeling inspired I created this creepy haiku.
Do you enjoy vultures or do you find them creepy or ominous?

The Honeysuckle Poem
When I walk,
I love to smell,
Honeysuckle.
I love to see,
it hanging,
from the vines.
I love to see,
it blooming white.
I love to taste,
its nectar,
growing wild.
Yes,
I love the Spring,
the warm weather,
and
Honeysuckle.
