walk the country road
as dusk settles
memories of old friends
The watercolour and haiku was inspired by a memory – of perhaps 25-30 years ago – when at the end of the day I walked along a lonely country road to a friend’s place. During those years I had some friends who lived in rural areas, and we often walked long distances between houses – perhaps heading to a party, or returning. The memory that hit me was a walk just after the sun set, and the stars slowly appeared. The darkness crept in – and the fenceposts were in silhouette. These are good memories.
