recycling
from bird to beach
back to dust
Sometimes nature leaves works of art waiting to capture your imagination. As we walked along Norman Beach at Wilson’s promontory National park this collection in the sand made us stop and wonder . At the time we thought there may be a haiku in the scene so I took some photos.
Then I discovered the one a week Photo Challenge word challenge this week is CYCLE . To be different I have used this image with the haiku. This is my offer. For this years 52 weekly challenges planned by Cathy and Sandra visit Cathy’s blog at https://nanacathydotcom.wordpress.com/one-a-week-photo-challenge-2017/
Haiku hound

Thanks Cathy. I loved the arrangement in the sand, it was very discreet, so I took the photo and thought a haiku could come easily.

I grew up on beaches and learnt to look for things like message bottles in the sand now it is for photo opportunities

I enjoy both photo and haiku very much. There is something about seeing scattered remnants of a life that stops your mind.

A wonderful image for a haiku, it looks like there are paw prints in the sand – a beautiful message in the haiku too :o)

Thanks Xenia and well spotted. The paw prints show the journey of a lone fox, ( an environmental issue in a national park) there is a haiku coming to tell that story.

Interesting photo, Denis. I do that also. Take a shot because it might be useful later for my poetry. Love the alliteration in your haiku. ❤

You are a bit psychic Joyce, a few metres away was a dead dried out snake. It would have possibly been washed into the surf and then drowned. I have a photo of it and may do a later haiku just for you.
