empty trees

lovely shot and is that a haiku? very good ~ i like the image.

thanks, and yes, it is. We were doing haikus on anopther pic, and someone mentioned the "English haiku" form, with fewer syllables than standard; apparently it's easier to construct a 17-syllable haiku in English than it is in Japanese, so they decided to make the English version as hard, and only use eleven syllables in a 3-5-3 pattern.

I took the pic, and several others, in the hope that I might be able to see the birds that I'd been hearing if I could get the pics on full screen - there'd been a lot of loud wing-flapping and birds fluttering from branch to branch, but they were at the limits of my vision and it was morning so I was looking into the sun. Hoped that the birds might show up on a pic.

It's happened sesveral times now: i don't know if it's the season, male birds competing, courting or consummating relationships ...

It really is beautiful. Both the photograph and the haiku

thank you twice, Pim dear!

Maybe I'll do a "vista" of all the trees, but I was aiming for this bit to try to see the birds that were making all the fuss.
