between the boughs

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.
