My 2^nd ukiah

blossom sweet, deep green delight

David, you’re so good at this. Never seen so much reversing at once. 🙂

  Since the haiku was reversed, I decided to invert the photo too 🤡
  
  Thanks, Cheryl!

An interesting form. I like the reversed buzz. (K)

  the form doesn’t require the reversed buzz or the inverted photo – that was just my idea ❤

A backward buzz?? Almost sounds as if this were a butterfly looking for a little drink… Perhaps a Common Blue butterfly?? Either way the butterfly is all business for my pleasure!

  😆 it was meant to be an inverted butterfly 😆
