Last weekend we took a long drive down to southwestern Virginia to transfer custody of Dave's mom to his sister. Yay!The weather was perfect and the scenery was gorgeous, but I was driving and couldn't take any pictures the whole first day. So instead I composed haiku in my head.
On our way home we stopped overnight just south of Washington D.C. and first thing in the morning drove into the city to see the fabled cherry blossoms. We'd never seen them before, and it was so worth it! Just gorgeous.
Here are my haiku from the trip.
Shenandoah valley
Cattle graze in spring-green fields
Trees fluffy with buds
Beautiful Blue Ridge
Gauzy layers of mountains
To infinity
Pink cherry blossoms
Reflecting in blue water
Breathtaking springtime
