At the simplist level, a Haiku is an unrhymed, 17 syllable (5-7-5) poem about nature. However, at its core, there is more involved here beyond the basic pattern that we learned as children. While Haiku deals mostly with visuals, it tells little, so the reader takes an active role, also becoming subject and object.
Fantastic. I love this post!!
Through my lens and prose I hope to instill a greater sense of awe, compassion and inspiration as I discover new creatures, explore interesting habitats, and gain wisdom about the natural world that’s all around us. It is my hope that readers are motivated to learn more about our environment and its inhabitants, and become passionate advocates for conservation.
I earned my college degree in biology, a foundation that shaped not only how I see the world, but how I’ve spent my life sharing it with others. For more than 35 years, I worked in education as both a teacher and administrator, guiding students through the wonders of science and the joy of discovery. That same spirit of curiosity has carried me through decades of volunteer work in citizen science and conservation. This blog brings together my passions for birding, conservation, and storytelling.
