Mullein plants prevail

This year mullein plants have taken center stage in my backyard. Despite the drought they haven’t yet turned brown.  The haiku following my  August 18 photo is inspired by  ‘cut’ from TJ’s Household Haiku.

My name is Janice.  I started blogging as Ontheland when I moved from Toronto to a rural area near Kingston, Ontario in Canada.  Over time I have found myself writing poetry, mostly in Japanese forms, such as haiku and haibun.  One of my deepest interests is the natural world: the joy of it and how we can look after it better.

    1. Thanks Denis. On this one I observed that the photo created an effect that might not have been as obvious with the naked eye unless I sat down and meditated in front of the plant for a while.
