glacier

ice on the march
eerie silence understood
unstoppable force


and just to express my relief and happiness,
a different sort of ice:
figure skating :

regained perfection
in an imperfect world
yuzuru hanyu

stellar bauble
a glittery ornament
in the skating sky







Plus another beastie from the garden



"Look how beautiful I am! My black coat with its red spots.
Don't fret: I'm only nibbling a few seeds of the Mullein. There'll be enough left to fill your meadow ten times over."

bold red spots
nibbling on the Mullein seeds
hibernation soon

That certainly was an interesting pair of haiku to contrast! Very nice though, as always visually really matches words
