It makes me happy that you all enjoyed this picture/haiku combination, thank you from my heart.

My grandson Simon, 5 years old, has a reflective soul and enjoys the beauty around him. He also is passionate about taking pictures and making videos and uses his Mom's camera quite often.

Love,
Margherita

So serene. I feel at peace looking at the scene. Perfect balance and a reflective view. But I would not think you would do less. Lovely is not a good enough word. latearrival

Yo dear Margherita,

Like so many people, Simon finds the sea a fascinating place.  After all, it’s where we all originally came from.

Margherita,

I have to admit that Haiku is a form that I'm not as familiar with as I should be, but here you have combined what the eye can see and what the mind's eye can comprehend, to create a short, thoughtful, and meaningful piece of work.

Many Thanks,

Innse Gall
