Zooming in on Zero

On my photoblog Sithenah I am Zooming in on Zero - an abstract composition.

Zoo (again)

A year ago I did Z is for Zoo but then I took you to Tenerife. This time we are nearer home in Blackpool on a very wet November day. As the visit was part of the holiday-package we didn't forego it just because of the precipitation. You can see sea-lions, flamingos, dromedaries and dinosaurs on the original post at Ackworth born, gone West.

Ye Olde Vic

On my photoblog Sithenah Y is for Ye Olde Vic a remarkable looking pub in Stockport, Cheshire.

Yorkshire (again)

words © Susan Shand; photograph © Betty Longbottom.

A year ago I posted Y is for Yorkshire in the first round of ABC and introduced you to haiku in Yorkshire dialect.

I now bring you the work of Susan Shand.

kids laikin'
next doors do a moonlight flit
t' 'uddersfield

up Bingley 5-rise
roses spred all ovver t' walls
even on t' barges

dawn on t' Otley Chevin
747s off t't' sunshine

I have combined the first of these haiku with a photograph of Houses at bottom of Outcote Bank by Betty Longbottom, used here with permission, to create a haiga.

You can find a dialect haiga of my own on Winter Haiku 2008/09.

The original post can be found on Ackworth born, gone West.
