Bird feeder viewing is picking up these days as new visitors drop by.   This week’s weekend-meditation post from Carpe Diem Haiku Kai, called Carpe Diem Universal Jane #14 Basho’s ‘Old Pond’, is a fascinating read for haiku writers and readers. I particularly enjoyed seeing the different ways Basho’s ‘Old Pond’ haiku has been translated.  The translation by Jane Reichhold is stunning.

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.
