heathrow in daylight
unexpectedly quiet
i must be dreaming
Note: because February is National Haiku Writing Month (NaHaiWriMo) and I’m a habitual haiku-er (is that a word?), all posts this month will have a haiku. For more Glover Gardens haiku, click here.

London during the holidays is teaming with people admiring how it glitters and glimmers with over-the-top decorations. Here are a couple of photos I snapped from the top of one of those iconic double-decker buses as it passed through Regent and Oxford streets.
That’s cool.
In stark contrast, here’s a little tree that was all by itself in a long, lonely hallway between terminals at Heathrow Airport.
That’s cool, too. The hall was decked.
Someone has a sense of humor.
That’s really cool.

I really like the walkways between the concourses at O’Hare Airport. Nice job, Chicago!
I was doubly pleased when I looked at this photo after uploading it onto my Mac and saw the reflections of the passengers in the mirrored ceiling. Serendipity.
It’s the little things.

I love to travel and that affection extends to airports, I suppose because they are the gateway to that next big adventure. And I think many airports have picked up their game in the last few decades – it seems like new terminals and renovations have a bigger focus on aesthetics with bright and appealing spaces, art that inspires and a real effort to reflect a sense of place. I’ve found myself taking more and more photos in airports, unless I’m sprinting for that next flight during a too-short layover.
At Dulles in Washington last week, I was enchanted by the rainbow wall and snapped a few photos, including a little boy running along the wall touching all of the colored panels. It wasn’t until I uploaded the photos today that I noticed a sharp contrast in the way adults reacted to the wall – they didn’t even glance at it.
And here’s the little boy. I want to be like him, to take time to touch the rainbow.

buoyant carefree little boy

airline hospitality.
There’s no place like home.

The art/architecture at O’Hare airport in Chicago captivated me this morning, resulting in this haiku.
