Flying so high in the air
Simple summer joy
I'd love to see what you do with this concept. So, I'm sponsoring a blog give-away. Between now and next Sunday, August 22 at 10:00 p.m. California time, post a picture to your blog with an accompanying haiku, leave a comment on this post with a link to your post, and I'll enter your name into a random drawing. A haiku, if you don't know, is a three line poem. The first line has five syllables; the second line has seven syllables and the third line has five syllables. Have fun!

Hello Rinda. I was struggling to find a photo for this, as haven't been taking that many recently, but Shimelle's online crop this weekend has cured that! Here's my haiku:
