Anna’s hummingbird
with effortless charm and grace
nature’s perfection.
Iridescent Gorget
Iridescent gorget
visible in the dappled sun.
Handsome little bird.
A wisp of a tongue, a moment’s rest
I followed closely
as you flew from tree to tree
at last a small pause.
Satisfying an itch
Soft, quiet feathers
So glad you’ve stopped for a rest
and to ease that itch.
Always in style
Gorgeous hummingbird
your feathers are always in style
white tushy, dark eyes.
The End
In honor of my dad, I’ve written haiku to go with his landscape drawings.
Dad painted and drew as a hobby, but he also studied horticulture and worked at a nursery. These drawings are loose pages from one of his sketch book. My parents sold his paintings before we moved to the US in 1966. These are among the few possessions to arrive with us from Canada. I don’t know if he drew them for a class or for a potential client, but I love them dearly.
Many years ago I had one of dad’s landscape paintings professionally framed. It was expensive at the time, so I never thought about framing his sketches. I should frame them now. The thought just occurred to me as I type this. I guess I needed to write this post.
Beautiful drawings
lovely landscapes in pencil
