at sunset

Very good, Adelaide. I think I like the last one best.
Thanks, Bill. A cool beach walk would feel good after all this heat and humidity.

Sunset; the bats catch their lives.
__ Well seen Adelaide, and the beach walk tells of the gained, cooler calm.
The first one is lovely. The second describes our past week. The third haiku is something is something I have done many times. Thanks for the bringing back the memory. Love your style!
Thank you, Magyar, for commenting and for your one line haiku. I haven't seen any bats near my place, except for one baby bat years ago. It was in the folds of a patio umbrella. You can imagine my surprise when it flew out.

Thanks for commenting.
