Saw a nest of cute baby birds super-up-close, inside of a fern.
Stopped by the lake to watch dragonboats gliding across glassy water.
Visited a dramatic cliff covered with blooming springtime flowers.
Stared at the reflection of the sun on the vast sea. Above, below.
Watched muddy unkempt horses in the adjacent stables. Manure.
It's still too cold to take my jacket off, but Spring, I love you so much,
that suddenly all my words blossom in the form of ancient haiku.
