phoku.25
I took this at Sligo Creek, Takoma Park, MD, on Sunday July 10, around 2pm. I decided to spend part of my Sunday afternoon walking in the creek. It was a beautiful day, the water was refreshingly cool, and I was wearing my waterproof Teva sandals. I had a wonderful walk and highly recommend it. It's an amazing way to find some silence and solitude in the midst of the big city. Not too many folks walking down the middle of the creek, even on beautiful Sundays.
At one point I stopped and took my sandals off, and let them float. Then I thought of this phoku, the poem and the picture, and took a couple pictures with my digital camera. You see one of them here. And I wrote the haiku tonight, and did the phoku (combined the haiku with the image) an hour ago.
