Happy New Year

Quiet gray morning
Hummingbird sips sweet nectar
Toasting the new year

Joyous year ending
Pondering which feeder next
Raindrops grow larger


Wishing all who visit a joyous and prosperous new year. For more haiku about the new year visit One Deep Breath.

Hope this isn't a duplicate, but my first try didn't seem to take....

That first one is marvelous. And such sweet bird photos. Happy New Year!

Such lovely words and images! Well done, you! Wishing you a happy new year.

Given that hummingbirds have an uncannily keen sense of time, these seem particularly apt.

I really enjoyed these; thank you.

These are just splendid! I love the idea of the hummingbird having his own private little toast to the New Year!

Very well done :)

Great shots of the hummers. We only see them a few short summer months. I enjoyed your haiku. Happy New Year!
