Before leaving on a backpacking trip in the Wallowas I read the following haiku by Matsuo Basho:
looking exactly like
blue flag iris: blue flag iris
inside waters’ shadow
kakitsubata nitari ya nitari mizu no kage [^1]
In today’s blog I share three photographs from the hike as a study of Basho‘s poem:

Lovely photos corresponding to the haiku!
Thank you Bob for sharing you thoughts about the photo study of Basho’s haiku.
NICE lupine!
Thank for stopping by Mark and that you enjoyed the Lupine!
