Petals torn by wind,

cones deepen to red velvet

on long summer days

Flat button bristles

evolve to elegant points—

Aha!  cone flowers!

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.
