raining …
and the cherries in the orchard
all ripe
japanese garden –
my sister decorates
a cake roll with fruits
midsummer herbs…
the freshly washed sheets
basking in the sun
grandpa dream
where he left off…
tavern first anniversary
haiku at breakfast –
my notebook
a trip to Greece
Agio Nikolaos street –
the evening rush
of a Greek early summer
