your scarlet colors flashing
in palmate maple.

The Piggy Project
I’ve had so many names in this life I lose track of which ones were ever really mine and which ones I wore because someone needed me to. Some were handed to me before I had words to refuse them, before I knew what they meant, before I knew I could say no. Most weren’t meant to hurt. That doesn’t mean they didn’t leave marks. Marks that told me who I belong to, who I am by way of who claims me, recognizes me in the good and bad, who walks beside me.

Stunning and absolutely beautiful Andrea. I love Hummingbirds. Beautifully Done Haiku.
Just beautiful and one of my favorite little birds to watch.
quite apart from anything else, "palmate maple" feels really nice in the mouth. Did you say it aloud?
Ohhh so stunning!
Lovely words, and I adore the picture.
Love the picture, and your words are perfectly complementary
Oh that's so pretty! 😍😍😍😍😍
Oooooh spectacular pic and beautiful words to pair with it.
Which part of the world it’s taken?
