It seems that whenever I do haiku on this blog, I get more comments than any other time. Maybe I should become a total comment hog and specialize entirely in bad haiku?<\/p>\n

In any case, many of you commented on the pictures with yesterday’s haikus. To assuage your inner child as to whence they came, let me explain.

<\/a><\/div>\n

came from <\/span><\/b><\/a>Mr McLellan’s Sci and Bio<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b> page associated with the Nayland School in New Zealand. Photographer uncredited.<\/p>\n

is a picture of Donner Pass, looking back towards Truckee Lake taken from Serene Musings<\/a>, no photographer given.<\/p>\n

Joyous melding into one<\/div>\n
Reunion is sweet<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
