Weeping cherry grove Japanese <i><a href="https://www.britannica.com/art/haiku" rel="noreferrer nofollow">haiku</a></i> follows five-seven-five rule Unless translated... ... from an original Japanese language <i>haiku</i> poem of seventeen syllables that is often about nature and a season, such as cherry blossoms and spring, into a foreign language that has to describe and try to explain what the Japanese are talking about. Haiku originally was a witty introduction to the rest of the prose before it was separated and became autonomous. Oops, I went past the limit, didn't I? Did I at least get the three-line form down? 😉

Eighth note of a spring ode
Orange you glad I didn't say banana? I would call this a creamsicle tulip. Tulips around these parts mean Easter. Paler pastel colored tulips were not in vogue this year. Strong colors were.
Time and tide wait for no man If you want to know how much time has passed in this library, you just need to look up at the rotunda. Rome and Roman numerals, where would we be without you? Oh, we'd use Arabic numbers to avoid collisions with words, cog-turning sunless clocks, and the concept of zero. Got it!

Mr & Mrs AI walk the path of life This scenery is completely real but it needed a focal point not just a lone road–i.e. a person, a model to represent newness. I also needed to expand my Photoshop skills for post-edits. Kick the tires. See what this editing software can do. So I asked Adobe Photoshop's artificial intelligence image generator to provide a bride and groom. Wallah, let me introduce you to soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. AI. Pretty good, Adobe, but that couple does not look entirely real yet so I better keep them small. Almost though. Yes, those are gravestones that align the road. Those graves in this cemetery accentuate the ephemeral cherry tree blossoms in this photo that will soon be gone. Cherry blossoms symbolize the temporary brilliance of life and its shortness. I know. Grim. But that's life. Sorry Mr. & Mrs. AI, chances are that you'll divorce. You might have a lethal accident or if not that, you'll certainly die as your equipment degrades and stops. Or will you?
Country colts of Kentucky These horses may not be colts but mature thoroughbreds. I just wanted alliteration. If this scene were in Maryland, I'd probably write, "Mature mares of Maryland," even if there were stallions in the herd, or "Haleʻiwa horses of Hawaii," even if there were mules mixed in. Hey, it's my photo and I'll do with it what I want to.😉

Cocaine Bear RIP Cocaine Bear It was enough to turn a black bear white. The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/01/arts/cocaine-bear-true-story.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">real Cocaine Bear</a> overdosed on massive amounts of cocaine that was dropped into its forest from a Lexington smuggler’s airplane. Because this is America, <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14209916/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">a movie was made</a> based loosely on this bear, who now has been stuffed and displayed in this Kentucky-themed novelty shop for all to see concerning the existential dangers of drugs, even for a big huge wild, once-healthy black bear.
