one deep breath haiku: reflections


warm color echoes
bright breast to brighter berries
nature reflecting







This found me last Sunday morning on my way back from the store. I was focused on the berries for several shots before I even saw the bird. I think he was very, very cold, but as I backed away, he did seem to enjoy those berries.

Yes, it probably is cold, that bird, but those puffed out feathers will keep it warm!

Lovely photo and ku.

This left me with a smile (not seeing the forest for the trees). The robins do love their berries. A lovely inspiration for your haiku.

He does get camoflauged in there, doesn't he! Great shot, and haiku!

Wonderful photo and I love the line "Bright breast to brighter berries".

I agree! Beautiful!

What a wonderful photo - I love the colours. He really does reflect the berries. We don't seem to have many birds that colourful in New Zealand (or at least, not commonly seen)

I love that photo, our robins leave in the winter. Your haiku fits the image so well.
