Early in this year's 40th Anniversary YT Haiku Retreat, 2015 poets began
to nudge each other and whisper after this crow perched on the drought-stressed
California Live Oak outside the window of the Trident Meeting Room.
From across the room, I had a good view. The beautiful colors were just like this
in the soft afternoon light; I have not altered them,
just cropped the photo to feature Basho's Crow.
