cloud and fog–

We’re talking about the far more inspiring Mohawk River, as seen around 8:30 this morning at Riverside Park, along Schenectady’s Stockade neighborhood. While waiting for a load of laundry to dry, the f/k/a Gang headed out and snapped a few photos, which we’re sharing with our readers (click on each for larger versions), along with fog haiku and senryu from our Honored Guest Poets. Enjoy.

Makes me want to pack up the kids and visit “Uncle Davie” in Schenectady before the sun comes out. Thanks for sharing the images and poetry.
