Haiku My Heart: From Above

From the sky, things look
different, once familiar
sights become new again.

I took some cool photos yesterday on the plane ride home.  It was a clear day, not too many clouds to block the view from the plane window to ground below. The colours of West Palm Beach were pleasing to the eye - the green grass and trees, the blue of the ocean.

Farther north, in Ontario, the ground cover was still brown, not yet warm enough for the grass to grow. The shores of Lake Erie are still saying goodbye to winter ice

while only a few miles away, Lake Ontario is already clear and blue.

We caught a glimpse of the CN Tower in the distance

and I could even see my own apartment building, only minutes away from landing at the airport.

Everything looks different from the sky.  I envy birds for their ability to glide above the Earth, looking down from a new vantage point at what we on the ground take for granted.
