    I like the photo, the patterns of cobblestone, and how they feel while walking. I admire this piece; it feels very meditative and the feather accent is perfect.

    how cool is this? The interruption of pattern, the undeniable changing sights...

    I love your cobblestoned response!
    I have a few cobblestones in my garden that were found under layers of pavement in NYC!
    I love their history and the fact that they are hand-hewn!

    How exactly you capture the feel of the unexpected surprise on the path. So well done. Thank you.

    the element of surprise & the contrast (stone & feather) make for a hauntingly beautiful haiku
