What I’m Reading
This book is written in waka form.
I especially love the format of this book—it’s long and skinny which seems to fit this short form of poetry.

That’s such an unusual photo, Marcie. Makes me think of volcanic ash or something falling over a forest floor. “Muted” is the just-right word!

Yes, it was leaves under water in the wetlands.

I’m thinking the same as Laura. Very autmnal, muted tonings. But I’m wondering what is causing the silt? In autumn/winter? Because it doesn’t look like snow…

The leaves are underwater in the wetlands near me.
