Haiku poems commonly deal with events on short time scales. In a split second, the frog jumps into the pond. In minutes, the sunset fades. In days, the cherry blossoms fall. How about decades? How about millennia? They can show up too, along with the split second that a camera’s shutter is open.
(BTW, the [Menu] button atop the vertical black bar reveals the widgets.)

Rock is real and will outlast
both mums and viewer.
I dithered over whether to respond to
Scale ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #268
with the material above. With small differences in format, it was posted 2020-04-17. Tho usually reluctant to repeat myself, I’ve noticed that bloggers I respect sometimes do repost things they feel are still relevant. I’ve also noticed that 11 months is quite a while on a cyberspace time scale.
Oh well. It’s rare that I settle on a combination of angle and settings that I really like before the light fades or shifts. Seize the moment.
The bright flowers and the blue vase and the rock draw my attention equally. They’ve got what it takes.

Thanks. I do think of them as a trio working together, not as flowers with 2 helpers.

I love haiku! Such fun to play with the syllables. Your’s brings to my mind Isaiah 26:4–“Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal!”
