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.

  3. Ahhh, I recognize this scene myself (and I live 70 miles or so from the ocean, I don’t know where those gulls get lost to end up here) and then the tire slush. Oh so familiar and so well-expressed, your word picture!

  4. Thank you, Claudia. I am not sure gulls need an ocean…I too have shared a vague questioning when I have seen them because they are called ‘seagulls’ in regular speech. Around here they have Lake Ontario nearby. I think too they may be fans of urban areas where there are garbage cans.
