our wafflestompers
looked like pancakes, needed soles...
renewed hiking souls
Picture
Last year we went on a 14-mile hike in Yosemite — Glacier Point to the Wawona Tunnel on the south rim of the Valley — and I needed new boots. I bought a brand new pair of Vasque boots about two days before we were to leave... no time to properly break them in! Risky business! They worked out great — look ma no blisters! — solid endorsement. I was very fortunate!

Yosemite is our forever favorite. There is a reason it is the most photographed place on our planet. If you've never been, go. Just go. Mere words cannot express.


DEFINITION of this 4-syllable noun:
  1. ankle boots with ridged soles, used especially for hiking.

    The Word of the Day comes from Dictionary.com. Use the word in your own haiku and add to the comments.

    Improve your vocabulary and your haiku skills at the same time! If you don't know the definition, it's below, but see if you can figure it out from the haiku and/or image. 

    Poet and designer, David Alan Foster has been experimenting with haiku since the '70s. He has inspired (or possibly offended) many with said experiments.
