Forsythia

Confession: This was not taken recently! This shot is from two years ago. No sign of forsythia blooming yet.

The Haiku is by Mantaro (1889-1963). The translation is from the book "Haiku, An Anthology of Japanese Poems", by Stephen Addiss, Fumiko Yamamoto, and Akira Yamamoto.

One of my favourite spring flowers. Ours is in bloom but much later than usual.

It is a pleasing image no matter when it was taken. Perhaps by the twentieth they will be in bloom again! V

Awwww, I saw this and was thinking that Spring had finally come you way. Now I find out that it hasn't. Hopefully soon. Love the Haiku and photo/framing. V
