Christmas Eve 2008


Christmas Eve morning
do I really need any
last minute shopping?

This was the sky outside my back yard on Wednesday morning. It was so lovely that I did in fact go out for a short walk, two short bus journeys, a train ride to Glossop and the long bus home. I bought nothing and was home by lunchtime.

Christmas morning was foggy and then we had a spell of bright sunshine but before long it became gray again.

The haiga was first published on Winter Haiku 2008/2009 and is reposted here as this week's contribution to Skywatch Friday.

  12. I did have to do a morning battery run ... and that was expensive, because the normal stores were closed, and I had to buy them at a convenience store at a higher dollar.
