Winning Entries, Fine Art America Haiku Contest

I'm trying something new. Since taking a hiatus from my other blog nearly three years ago,  Elixir has been my hideaway to post photos and haiku that I have merged into images. I've always hoped people would stop by and enjoy a visit once in a while - and they have - but I haven't gone out of my way to share this space with anyone else. In October I started posting some of my work on the Fine Art America site, and have had a lot of fun hosting and participating in various contests. Recently I hosted a haiku art contest and decided to offer a spot here to the top three winners. Since six artists tied for the top three spots I am going to post links to their work here, as well as small versions of their images for the ones that provided them to me. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
