Like this one. Simple and direct. Colorful and lively.
Thank you.
I probably should. ;-) I was also hit by a pipistrelle bat crossing the bridge! If you google Bradford on Avon Bridge and select google images, you'll see where. ;-)

Nicely done! I really enjoyed this…
Hi Alan – I LOVE the phrase “butterfly headbutts” – it’s a real feelgood haiga – great stuff!
Bonk! Cute!
Love this. You gave me my laugh of the day!

Thank you for all your comments, very much appreciated.
The haiga came about quite by accident, just like the headbutt. ;-)
