Between this and that

Rejoice! I get both!

I created this image last night to post on my other blog. I had a different topic in mind for it, but it applies to this week’s photo challenge as well. I will still post the same image on my other blog, but with a different haiku.
- Etegami 絵手紙 – Japanese word meaning picture letter/message, traditionally done in a postcard size meant to be mailed.
- Yorokobi 喜び – Joy
Wishing everyone joy and happiness. Happy Holidays!!

Hey there. Happy to hear you enjoyed my poem. I’m writing my “About Me” page right now. It should be done by tommorow, so stop by and check it out. By the way, the pictures are awesome. Peace and Love.

Another ‘lesson’ from nature…caught between choices is like having both. At least as the camera (and our hopes) suggest!
Fantastic photo!
