1. i love the effect in the photo! it makes a great illustration to the verse

   1. Polona — it also made a mediocre shot into something worth looking at! I tried to salvage it because I loved the composition and the “feeling” but the edges were a little too soft and the color was almost monochrome with the sky being pretty much the same pink as the flower.

2. I knew you would make that positive.

   1. Doug — I’m having trouble putting a positive spin on the wrinkles on my face, but I seem to manage just fine white-washing (or rather, rose-washing) everything else!

3. That’s a beautiful pic and a great haiku!

   1. Linda — thank you.

4. Indeed they do. Excellent Haiku and I love the photo 🙂

   1. Thom — I am glad you enjoyed this. Thank you.

5. when seasons change and the flowers fade, that signals a new beginning. new buds will soon bloom. nature always has a way of showing off its beauty. brilliant haiku, quilly 🙂

   thanks for the nice comment on my post and for mentioning Isaiah 61:3. indeed a garment of praise is far more fulfilling than nurturing a spirit of despair. during my darkest moments, i held on to my favorite Isaiah verse- “those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

   again, thank you so much!

   1. Bing — that is a favorite of mine, too. I love the song that Michael Joncas wrote based on that verse.

6. Your photo is absolutely gorgeous!

   1. Thanks, Nessa. I am glad you like it.

7. Once again, a very nice Haiku. The photo is so soft and pleasing to the eye and goes well with your poem.

   1. CL — thanks!

9. The photo and haiku go well together.

12. blooming and fading—
