I’m still addicted to my new, olive green paint, but today I throw in
some orange too!
For Haiku my heart
Vlammend oranje
(de vogels smullen ervan) kleurt de grauwe dag |
Bright, flaming orange
(birds love to eat these berries) colors a grey day |
This firethorn (pyracantha) grows in my backyard.
Blackbirds fly in all the time to taste the sweetness of the berries…
Haiku My Heart is hosted by the wonderful Rebecca.

Happy birthday girl!

LOVE that photo – I used to have a firethorn too! And a cotoneaster… Your haiku is (as usual) fabulous!
I am a big fan of olive green too – especially the olives you can eat. Which is also why I like so much the cookery cards and book in your previous post! I am behind with everything today, but I’ll be in touch again n ext week!
Big hugs and have a really lovely weekend! xoxoxo

That berry cheered me up.
But me trying to pronounce
‘kleurt de grauwe dag’
made me smile.
Thanks! *^)

rebecca says
as the days grow shorter, darker…whiter,
red becomes as sweet to our eyes as berries become manna for birds.
lovely in every way.
