In the morning light – 4 haiku: LAPC

In the morning light
Fireworks light up the fall sky
Amazement above

High desert sunrise

When the day breaks bright
We find our comfortable place
Basking in its warmth

Pixie-bob cat

In the light of day
Our differences stand out
Yet we share our songs

American robin, house sparrow, cedar waxwing, & lesser goldfinch

In the morning light
Snow melts from prickly branches
Revealing warm hearts

Cholla & prickly pear cactus
