The North Carolina Haiku Society hosted the 29th annual Haiku Holiday on Saturday April 26, 2008, at Bolin Brook Farm outside of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA. Here are some photos from the morning session, before the ginko and the afternoon workshops. The Archives section of the NCHS Web site has links to descriptions of past Haiku Holidays, including this one.
