My beloved bought me this book “Diary of a photographer.” It’s written by Stephan VanFleteren, a famous Belgium photographer. During the lockdown he decided to go for a walk every evening (the subtitle says “Corona-walks”) and his notes were published in this book. It’s a book without photos. Of course he made photos too (he published those on Instagram and I guess they will be published someday) but I fell in love with the way he writes!
Friday haiku
My haiku today has everything to do with the book, and of course with my friend Lena Schreijenberg, who takes the photos that inspire me to write a haiku.
| De zon zakt. Het strand bij valavond. Ik wandel met de fotograaf. |
The sun sets. The beach at nightfall. I’m walking with the photographer. |
I submit this haiku to Recuerda Mi Corazon where our lovely hostess Rebecca brings us all together to share a haiku on Friday: Haiku my Heart
Je t’embrasse
How beautiful your sunset and how lucky to be walking on the beach!! It is just glorious! Thank you and have a grand weekend!
It is so wonderful to fall in love with words… and where they transport us. Like Lena’s photos and your haiku. Thank you Marit for these gems and my soul’s longing to breathe in the ocean… XO
The photograph and your haiku calm me. Thank you.
I am enchanted by the idea of a photo book without photos but only the words to describe the moments.
Beautiful haiku. Have a nice weekend
much love…
Always wonderful to have a book that ‘speaks to you with delight’ ~ sweet haiku ~ ‘walking with the photographer’ ~
Live each moment with love,

how interesting. and I know the feeling of sunset at the beach without words.
Stunning photo, contemplative haiku.
dear one, thank you for placing me in the salty brine at sunset. my heart is flooded with memories of living most of my life on one coast or another. the ocean will never leave me. thank you for igniting my senses and revitalizing a life long love.
