Wet green leaves hiding
red fruit flecked with seeds.
Picking strawberries.
And before you say my haiku doesn't have the right number of syllables in line two, I challenge you to read the wikipedia article on haiku. I think fruit and flecked could both be counted as two syllables!
We have a wonderful strawberry crop this year. I'm spending a lot of time picking them and washing them up and freezing those which we can't eat now.
And speaking of observations, re my last post, note the fine tracing of leaf veins in the picture. Only it's not a leaf. What is that??
Oh yes, I had a tomatillo plant here last year and that network of veins is all that's left of a tomatillo fruit. Look, one still has seeds in it.
