taking me back…
water laps gently
at the shore

by the lake
the clouds drift
in time…

creosote, haiku, photography, poetry, railroads, senryu, spring, ties, tracks, trains, weathering

walking the tracks
my thoughts

the ties
that bind
remain

after the train
looking in the ballast
for the penny

lunch alone

how relaxing
to watch a turtle
do anything…

stretching
as only a turtle can…
