According to one statistic, 52 percent of blog traffic is from bots. In other words, more machines crawl our content than there are people reading it. Just a fun fact.

For my next writing project, I am recycling calendars. Some are old and some are new. They have one thing in common--great photographs.

A few have more than 12 pictures so I may have more than 12 haiku for any given calendar.

This one's inspired by the Nature Conservancy.

I will post them as a series separate from this post.

Happy Reading Spam Bots!

thunderstorms and protests why are murdered women left out of the narrative

mother's day a brief ray of sunshine on the bluebird house

cinco de mayo restaurant margaritas fail to observe social distancing

late afternoon the walgreen's parking lot becomes a crime scene
