City evening: one deep breath
Evening sidewalk steams
Asphalt still breathes sun heat
Strollers buy ice cream
City neighborhoods
Beehives, stacked for honey
Oh, for a cool breeze...
Abalone moon
Southern city awakens
Sitting out on stoops.

I have to say I love cityscapes in the summer. You've captured them so well.
I also love cities and in the summer especially. Your haiku are beautiful -- I can totally see and smell the heat. I love the idea of sitting out on a stoop -- whole families and groups of friends hanging out like that -- it creates community and I like that a lot, vs. people sitting all alone in a lonely house. You group words together in a really, really lovely way.

Nicely done! Quite a contrast between the canoe ride and city streets. Each special in its own way...
I am not a city person; I avoid them but having spent time in a very large one once I can see these images perfectly.
I really like the imagery of that last one.
I'd almost be hard pressed to choose anything but the city, the way you present it. Thankfully, you've given me the alternative with a canoe ride. I'll take the latter.
