briny beads (tan renga)

When I saw this prompt and Jane Reichhold’s haiku referring to the shape of “wild rivers” and “ferns” I could not help but be right at my special spot by the river rapids and so I decided to add my thoughts in a Tan Renga. I hope that’s okay.

      Merci ma chère…I cheated as I could not think of anything since I read that haiku.

        🙂 it did come to me later at least. Sometimes we need to clear the mind (read two novels), rest and then the muse resurfaces.
