trails wind and descend
elements of earth arise
on the cusp of fall

I’d love to visit that trail. It’s beautiful cloudy skies and all. Thank you for participating.
Thanks. It's a beautiful spot!
Awesome photo and poem
Thanks so much! 😁
I love how I feel when I see this image. Expansive, peaceful, endless possibilities. An invitation to wander off into the distance
Thanks! I'm glad my picture made you feel that way. The Painted Hills area in Oregon is a special place.
I love haiku and this is a lovely one along with the photo.
Thank you, Alison! I wrote that haiku really fast, so I wasn't sure if it worked.
So many untold stories this trail holds. You lovely capture is telling one 🙂
Yes, many stories along trails like that.
That's a beautiful trail and haiku. I like your phrase, 'the cusp of fall' - it describes exactly how this season feels :)
Thank you, Sarah! We have had a cooler summer here, maybe it's been the same for you. However, this week will be hot here. Can't wait until fall arrives!
No, we've had a hotter summer than average with four heatwaves in London, although it's cooler now.
Oh, sorry to hear that. Hope more cool weather comes soon.
You’ve captured such an inviting view of this beautiful landscape!
Thanks! We were there after a rainstorm, and the rainfall brings out the contrast in the soil.
Interesting! Great effect!
Thanks! The Painted Hills in Oregon have some amazing colors.
You did a beautiful job of capturing them at their best.
:D
