In the morning light
Fireworks light up the fall sky
Amazement above
When the day breaks bright
We find our comfortable place
Basking in its warmth
In the light of day
Our differences stand out
Yet we share our songs
In the morning light
Snow melts from prickly branches
Revealing warm hearts

Love your Haiku and enjoy all your photos.
Thanks, Delores! Hope you're getting some good bird sightings there. First snow here.
Did someone say morning light?!! (Insert heart eyes.) BEAUTIFUL captures and words! <3
Thanks, Laura! Yes, I'm a morning person and love that lighting. :D
Yikes to first snow Siobhan! I do however remember loving that first snowfall of the year. After that, not so much 😊. Love how your verses are so beautifully matched to your images. So which comes first, the images or the verse? both are equally wonderful
Yep, this is a four seasons kind of place. We may have a snowy winter this year. The images come first. It's called "ekphrasis." Glad you like my attempts at blending art with words. 😁
I enjoyed your haiku and that first shot makes me feel as though I'm on the road at the break of day, a wonderful feeling. I also really liked the snow on the cacti, although I hope we don't get any on ours. :-)

Thanks! Up here, in eastern Oregon, scattered clouds make for great sunrises/sunsets. Hope you don't get much snow there. I live at 3,400 feet in elevation. I've enjoyed your cactus pictures! 🌵
I'd be surprised if we ever get snow here, although when you get up higher, there can be snow.
... Revealing warm hearts, very beautifully expressed. Wonderful photo! :)
Thanks! The snow is here ❄️
Great selections. Love the cat, but High Desert Sunrise is my fave.
Thank you, John! We've had some spectacular sunrises and sunsets this fall.
A beautiful post, sending warm hearts and SNOW! How I miss it - so appreciated the touch. Love your cat in there - basking in the sun and with a great view!
Thanks, Leya! I love how snow highlights the outlines of things. Yes, my cat always finds the warmest spot in the house. This one came with a view! 🙂

Great post! love your words and images,
Thank you, Ana! Sorry for the delayed response. WordPress hid this from me.
Lovely and hopeful post, Siobhan! It's true what you write: "Amazement above." The skies are stunning.
Thanks , Patti! I'm lucky to live in a place with so many amazing sunrises and sunsets. 😊
Lovely words and images. Warmth from sun is what we wish. Waiting for the spring :)
Thank you! Yes, already yearning for the warmth of spring.
