  • #1 in adoption (domestic & international),
  • #1 in humanitarian aid, donations and contributions to non-profits, etc. 

So, apparently, we Americans are imperfect, have our demons (like every country), but we also possess and prove our good, great qualities too. Sometimes…

“Haikumages” are short poems (mostly haiku and senryu-style) combined with images (mostly original photographs and graphics) by Russ Murray.
