Text on Source of Images— Photos by Jose Carlos Fajardo There were 25 photos taken by Jose Carlos Fajardo in the Sunday article "Immersed in nature at Shell Ridge" by Joan Morris, Mercury News, 3-6-2022, F8. I selected 8 photographs most appealing to me and resized them for a poem "Shell Ridge Hike". 7. Poem "Shell Ridge Hike"— Notes on Poem— After reading the article "Immersed in nature" by Joan Morris, studied the 25 hike photos by Jose Carlos Fajardo taken at Walnut Creek's Shell Ridge (2021-2022). Selected 8 photos and wrote 17-syllables Japanese haikus for each of the photos. While some photos were taken Feb. 2022 in winter, showing the millipede all curled up, and poppies closed, the images of Red-Tailed Hawk soaring above and a radiant Queen Poppy shining below tells me "Spring is coming!" Took screen shots of poem, Pasted two sections together in Photoshop (700x1400 pixels). 8.
