Welcome to Litsy!

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Today‘s haiku is inspired by my window seat view on my plane ride home from Hilo, just before sunset.

Note: Kupuna means elder in Hawaiian, to honor the mountain‘s revered status. It‘s the highest peak in Hawaii & when measured base to peak (including the underwater base) it‘s technically the tallest mountain in the world.

Mauna Kea sleeps

my heart, full of awe

Saw this on my BBC feed today and LOVED it! I only have Litsy has my social, but if any of you can spread the word of this adorable kid so that it reaches Sir David himself for his 99th birthday, that would be incredible!

1. I recently purchased the tagged book in April on Kindle. It was a $2.99 Kindle deal so I bought it. I‘m looking forward to reading it and learning about all of the different owls that are out there. Recently, I watched a nature show called The Americas that was narrated by Tom Hanks and it showed burrowing owls. I like them. They‘re so cute.

2. Yeah. I use Goodreads, Storygraph, Instagram, Fable, Storylace and Litsy.

Random book from our home library:

A pretty short and very enjoyable science book about the Galápagos Islands and everything on them (including the people). I think if you‘re going to the Galápagos (yes, I am doing that), this book is a must-read primer for understanding the formation of the islands, all the life on them and in the ocean around them, and exactly why they are so unusual.
