896. march madness


hey look, up in the tree—
is that a big hawk or starling?
no—it’s a Spalding!

after the game
basketball tossed in the air 
looking deflated

 


Dinner out yesterday at our favorite restaurant, sitting at the bar and watching a basketball game of the March Madness semifinals. San Diego over Creighton, 57-56 and ending on a free-throw with mere seconds to go. What a win….what a loss! Faces of the game players said it all—one team elated….the other deflated. 

I took this picture on the one day that it snowed earlier in March. It’s another ‘walk around the neighborhood’ shot, a fun one that I was saving for the right occasion. My early thought was the first haiku but then yesterday’s March Madness game gave me the second haiku. Perfect!😆
