 Times Flies?

Time has no wings yet, we say time flies another May is upon us already the fifth month spans its days.


white butterflies how

they scallop across flowers

here in my garden 


 Today we celebrate them: Happy International Bee Day. Honey makers: queens, drones they all add to the sweetness of life


not only today 

a bee having breakfast in

the ixora bush


Its nearing the time of rains and floods. A tease of rain a few days ago. By May end,  the whole day rains will follow.


a mockingbird skips

across the wall deceiding

where to fly off to

    Nicely done Gillena. Do you have much change of season in Trinidad or does it stay warm all year round?

    This was wonderful Gillena. We must protect the bees. The ecosystem of our world depends on them. 🙂✌🏼🫶🏼

    Love how you highlighted all the flying creatures: the butterfly, the bee and the mocking bird. The elegant simplicity of your haiku bears witness to the fact that we can learn from them, every day, in every way.

    Lovely sense of mono no aware, Gillena, and I love this phrasing especially:
    "white butterflies how
    they scallop across flowers" -- Wow.

    Sure, dear Gillena, time flies. We can`t stopping... isn`t!? Another round of MosaicMonday in the middle of May... and I'm looking forward to your contribution again. More pictures this week that tell the story of your surroundings, of nature, of your everyday life. Pictures that also tell a story.

    Thank you for your participation at MM. Have a good time, best wishes from Heidrun
