On Vacation

snapping photos 
        sounds and aromas
                    go   -    uncaptured

Andrea, this is funny. Hmmm...we need a machine to capture air samples to go with each photo. I guess this is why being there completes a much better experience.

Ahhh!! If only we could capture the feel of those moments in time, but as long as memory holds out those snap shots or memory take us back to that place. Reads like a good contender if for a contest to me. Way to go. Sara K

Isn’t that the truth. We have found no way to catch the true essence of a place. One must experience it for themselves. This is where God excels! And wait until heaven! Hugs!

This is a wonderful senryu. For some reason, it makes me think of a California beach.
