Wild violet

Purple violet

spreading in the rock garden.

It's there by intent. 

Growing in the rock garden, a tiny purple violet. It's busy seeding itself to regenerate for next year. I love how these little guys, with their heart shaped leaves, wander about the yard. And so I let them, always delighted where they appear. 

Linking with Clytie at Guest Heart Thursday.

HuMp DaY Haiku - first bloom

 Gentle sign of hope

Springing forth from warming earth

Violets first bloom

From my herb garden. The "evergreen" violet showed it's love for the recent warm weather with it's first bloom. 


I started doing Hump Day Haiku with Carla Sonheim's Silly classes...  and decided as a challenge for myself, I'd continue.  In this process, I have found that creating a haiku (non rhyming poem with 5 - 7 - 5 syllables per line) feeds my soul. 

I especially like creating them to go with my photos and art.
