- find fireworks (and watermelon) haiku and senryu by the f/k/a family of poets here; and photos of the annual Jumpin' Jack's fireworks display in Scotia, NY, taken from my backyard along the Mohawk River, there, for 2009, and there for 2010, at my photoblog -

VI: 013 BabyBarista makes his move (again)

Very best wishes to my blawg buddy Tim Kevan, who moves his BabyBarista weblog to The Guardian's blossoming Law Section today. Read about the move here; recall the history of BabyBarista at f/k/a. The Guardian is one smart newspaper/website.

I wish I had some new haiku and senryu to celebrate, but will have to make-do with a few oldies this morning.
