    Your crayfish is sexy? There’s a country song potential in there.

    Gorgeous photo.

    Thanks Robin, Pearl. I have no idea about the sex life of crayfish, but I remember wondering when I was a young boy playing in the Bronx River (NY) and lifting rocks and finding them there, if I were intruding on their intimate activities. You can tell where my head was a twelve years old! I wrote a poem some years ago about that experience on the Bronx River. It is here if anyone is interested: The Arches

    Hi Ron, I don’t think we have met. I like the story you told in your comment. Too bad as adults, its hard to find that joy and wonder.

    A beautiful blog indeed, Ron! And that’s quite a family you have! Congratulations!
    I remember lifting rocks in the “crik” as we called it just down the road where I grew up… you never knew what you were going to find!
    It made me laugh, too!

    I like the nature aspect of this one line ku and the surprise at the end. Never thought about a sexy catfish before….

    How did you manage so much in one line and yet still have a surprise ending :) Bravo

    Neat hook in this one-liner (sorry, lots of fishing puns there) -who would ever think of a sexy crayfish!

    Your photos are amazing~especially the background for your blog header :)

    Thanks Zapped. Since these one-liners are called haiku I actually thought of something nature related which I assumed is one of ‘ku’s characteristics and as mentioned in my response(#3) above I had already written about an actual incident like this from my youth.
    Tammy, I have no idea. It just happens sometimes, but thank you.
    Becca, I also assumed crayfish mate somehow and I may have unintentionally disturbed the arcane sexual practices of these little creatures.
    I wish I could take credit for the header photo. It came with the theme as credited in the footer. Most of the Flickr photos are mine however.
    Thanks for noticing.
