On Puget Sound’s gloam
evening light’s footprint wears
oceans in boat shoes
Summer’s memory soles
outlasting Delta breezes
Kigo phrase: Delta breezes

They are not really shoes in the photo just two small boats that caused my imagination to think of boats…LOL

I can’t explain it really. We do have a tropical climate so Summer is dominant. Still we still have a few weeks before Spring.
