An old crow... by larose forest photos


09-Apr-2021	Christine Hanrahan

A very well-known haiku by Basho, perhaps the most famous of Haiku poets. I think this translation must be by RH Blyth.

the light could not be better, and the crow's stance suggests an observant and curious individual...fantastic image, and well supported by Basho..V

I like the thoughtful looking pose, and set against such beautiful bokeh. V.
