Onitsura's Valley Stream

Trickling slowly
Washing pebbles clean and bright
Shower for minnows

Xxx

Flowing gently
Polishing stones shiny
Salmon egg nest site

Xxx

Raging violently
Throwing rocks against each other
Fish obstacle course

Xxxxxx

When I was writing these haiku I kept getting images from the book "Salmon fishing in the Yemen".  The picture is from the film of the book.

Wonderful set, and of course fish enjoy a fresh water stream to shower in.
