Darrell Byrd, age 63, an Agricultural Biologist lives in Imperial Valley, California, USA, a diverse agricultural area in the northern Sonoran Desert. While serving in the Pacific Fleet, he became interested in Japanese culture when stationed in Sasebo, Japan. He recently rediscovered haiku and contributes regularly to the on-line haiku lists and Photo-Haiku sites as well as several journals. Darrell takes advantage of the desert and mountain terrain of his environs, and of his years at sea for inspiration in creating his haiku. haiku (in editors' picks I-2): "morning sunshine" - haijinx volume I, issue 2
