Curious encounter
Of yellow bursts of color
Blooming near the creek
Haiku
I recently came upon these big yellow blooms as I was walking near a small creek. They were just scattered about on the creek’s bank. I am not sure what they are, probably some kind of a lily. They sure brightened up my morning walk!
(If any of you know what they are please let me know in the comment section. Thanks)
On a recent road trip to Ashland, OR. my daughter and I visited Lithia Park, which is a beautiful 93 acre park in the city. In one part of it was a charming bridge, babbling brook and children’s playground. It was 107 degrees that day! The water near the bridge was shallow and perfect for wading, so off came our shoes and wading we went! Such fun and so refreshing!
It was at that point we noticed the name on the bridge was “Atkinson Memorial Bridge 1912”.
The bridge was built as a memorial to William Atkinson who was a prominent person in the founding of the town.
Surprise! Perhaps he is one of our ancestors! 🙂
