Black Hill’s pink sunrise
Still before the Thunder starts
Hear the babbling stream

Thanks my friends!
My body is still on Kansas time so I was up to see the sunrise this morning. The campground we stay at is up in the hills. It has a stream running through it, lots of flowers, a trout pond, ducks and ducklings...
Needless to say, when I saw the pink dawn sky, I knew it was a Haiku morning and I thought of you!

Yes. But more people are coming earlier every year.  A few more days and the traffic will double.

The "haiku morning " is poetry to the ear
