Haiku Monday – Clouds over Brighton, Colorado

This week’s Haiku Monday features images taken from our visit to Sushi Den’s private garden and eco-friendly greenhouse in Brighton, CO. We visited for an amazing picnic hosted by the restaurant. I love clouds and skies as they remind me of being someplace spiritual and untouchable. (All photos taken with the iPhone 4)Haiku Monday - Clouds over Brighton, COwrinkles in the sheets

  2. Some very impressive photography Michael. Clouds are one of the few things which allow us to stand still as they do all the work for us. The showy bastards…

    While I don’t, in any way, pretend to be even the least poetic, I do appreciate those who are, just as I appreciate much of what I don’t understand.

  3. It’s hard to describe how beautiful images and thought provoking prose makes me feel. It’s like something primordial within me stirs and I feel a slight squeeze in my chest. That’s how this post makes me feel… alive :)

    Now this is what I like to read. It’s good. It’s how words should be strung together. :-)
