catching the sun
between the river’s stones
a redshank
water rippling around his feet
soothing his reflection

These are wonderful. I especially love the second photo, you can see how this bird can easily camouflage with the rocks, including his reflection.

You captured a perfect moment in both haiku and photography, Xenia, and the water is such an amazing blue! I love the lines:
‘catching the sun
