new years, spring, summer, fall, winter photographs

With the first one you have a medley of seasons grouped together in a sort of hodge-podge.

Hodge-podge? It ain't no hodge-podge, they're in the correct order.

The second one has a juxtaposition of old and new which I like. Spring is inevitably tied to both death and creation...

And don't forget the Qingming Festival (Tomb Sweeping Day) on the
15th day after the Spring Equinox. The tradition is to celebrate the
new spring and to tend to the graves of ancestors.

I'm not sure a Haiku is meant to encompass all the seasons. I think that the first line of a haiku is traditionally a seasonal reference. Because you have listed all the seasons it seemed like a hodge-podge which isn't necessarily a critique. A euphemism such as the word "Fusion" may have served my intentions more clearly. Just being facetious with you.
