one by one she packs

(For Joe)
quiet falls
where you once stood
a great blue heron
pauses to feed
beside his own reflection

haikuKATHA Issue 14, December 2022
We were treated to a spectacular display of the Northern Lights on Monday night and passengers on the Loganair Manchester to Inverness flight were offered a ring-side seat!
Apache tears are said to bring comforting and gentle support when you are grieving and when I put my hand in my pocket and felt the one still there, it sparked the above poem.
Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday and a peaceful rest of the week,

We were not sure what we were seeing in the distance and cropped the image:
At first I thought it was a wave, then I wondered whether it was driftwood. Could it be Nessie? I am not sure what we are looking at here, so if you have any idea, please let me know!
Wishing you all a blessed Sunday and a peaceful week ahead.
I am taking a short blogging break and will be back on Sunday 12 June 2022.
