A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com

  1. aloha Cheryl-Lynn. those reds are fun. it hadnt occurred to me that hummingbirds and travel might work for both prompts. ha. nice catch on that one. it’s fun to see how we each look in different ways at the same thing. cool.

    thank you for playing. fun on. aloha. rick.

    1. (smiles) I love this prompt…it made me learn a bit more about the hummingbird from Québec. They actually try to fly in one shot over the Gulf of Mexico and some never make it:(
