stillness of the night -
into an old murky pond
a frog with a splash
...
already chilly -
a bird's solid black figure
in a leafless tree

I'm right there with that bird in the leafless tree. Thanks for these two haiku, Gillena.
So wonderfully visual and - once again - insightful and thought provoking depths to delve.
Lovely offerings Gillena - thank you.

Even in the evening it is good to observe nature at work. Loved the haiku Gillena.

These are both wonderful, Gillena.
What a fun exercise! A few years ago I did a "rewrite" of the frog haiku http://randomnoodling.blogspot.com/2016/06/happy-haiga-day_26.html.
Love "toads and birds."
