Great subject and nicely penned haiku, Ann. Some of the details may no longer be seen but the beauty lies in the fragility and the longevity. Great icon! I always wondered what you looked like:) Hoping you are well:)

Ann, I'm reminded of Wordsworth's quote about age and love when reading your haikus;: "The wise mind mourns less for what age takes away than what it leaves behind." Cheers - Gary

There is definitely beauty to behold in the weathered patina of old things. Congratulations on your contest entry, Ann.
