I try to capture the beauty of the historical falls in my tiny camera. Many others are engaged in the same pursuit, some better than the others. A few visitors are lost in each other while others try to rekindle their lost romance. I spot a couple of birds, chasing each other near the falls. I could not name those birds, but they are blessed with red, blue and black colours. They chase each other amongst the crowds, move close to the falls and finally disappear into Iguazu.
Serene surface..

I’m SO happy! Our original host at Ligo…and wonderful haibun
So glad to see your message. Thank you so much for the reblog, Pirate. Glad to see Ligo doing so well:)
Thanks – and very very nice to hear from you. I think things are going well.
Yes, things are going well. How are you doing? I sent you a couple of mails, during new year and before that. but, guess you were busy. How is the kindle coming along?
You sent emails? Oh!! I will try to find – I would never be too busy. this makes me sad if I missed them. Will check. Interesting how the ebook sells differently at differently places. You have me worried about the emails.
Hi Pirate, that is okay:) I sent them to piratehaven@hush.ai. Let me know more about the ebook
Your touch has not wavered. You have the magic still, the ability to choose a ‘normal’ moment and turn it into a poetic one. We move from the onlookers to the birds and then all is merged into the mists of the waterfall. The snippets of descriptions about couples is really good descriptive writing, as the birds soar around. Excellent. THANK YOU so much Nightlake! SO nice to see you!!!!
Writing for Ligo after a long time:) So happy you liked it and thank you very much
Yes, I did like it – you haven’t lost your touch at all. That’s very interesting, that you can write quality just like that, straight off!
