I loved the green carpet in the forest !!!
different haikus different effects
🙂
do like how the fawn and kid are brought together in the end
Kids are sometimies hiding among the horsetail I think.
I was taught to gather the horsetail to scrub pots clean. Nice reminder.
Ah that was new to me.
Backwoods depression era mountain info taught forward. They are course with silica and make good scrubbers.
Yes, nice about forest floor, very
Beautiful…just lovely!
Beautiful botanical print to go with such beautiful haiku. Really well done.
three nice images
the fawn might be able to nibble on horsetail
but it will poison the kid
Cheers!

Three lovely takes on this prompt. Very well done Bjorn 🙂
Bare legs and dew seem to be made for each other—but only if it’s not a frigid morning!

can’t wait fot the time we can walk in bare legs! great set – very evocative!
my fav is the early bird ,,,, and, like others, the green carpet rings many bells….
A wonderful set of images here! I love the bare legs and dew!
All gentle and lovely. The second is my favorite. Leg against the dew drops. So sensory.
Very nice…each had their own special quality.
Thank you.
Peace,
