• ROAAAARRRR!!!!! The sound resonates through the forest, then it ends and silence falls upon the land. Shortly after, comes the smell. The sweetest and most enticing smell you could ever find. Creatures of all sorts start following it, to its source. They seem hypnotized, as if dragged by the smell without even being aware they’re moving at… Read more

  • This week I dedicate my edit of the chose picture for February’s One Four challenge to the creature that made me take the picture in the first place. The shiny giant clam. At first I didn’t realize it was a clam (I’m not at all versed in sea creatures) because I didn’t really see the… Read more

  • For this week’s challenges I decided to choose a picture of people and another one of a outdoor seeting. For the people’s picture, the picture is indeed somewhat old (25 years?) but it looked already worse than a regular 25-year-old picture. I don’t know what happened at the time of the shot, but it came… Read more

  • This week, for my One Four challenge, I’ll again highlight a section of my picture, by cropping the image in order to show only (or mostly) the element I was to focus on. The chosen ‘creature’ this week is a coral in green and purple that reminded me of lavender fields. The actual name of… Read more

  • The foreigner

    Big business meeting, more people than chairs. I chose happily to sit on the floor. I can move more freely when need to change position. My legs, hip and back thank me for that. Back from lunch, people insist on getting me a chair. I refuse. They don’t get it.   This post was written… Read more

  • Literary Lion: Drink Me

    He sipped and felt the liquid flowing down his system. A nice warm sensation filled his body. In a minute, all would be history.   This post was written in response to the Literary Lion: Drink Me. The picture was edited in Fotor, original grabbed from pixabay.com   Read more

  • For this week come back to Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge, I decided to pick some picture that had somewhat expressive clouds, even though the color version of them didn’t look too dramatic. Then, while editing the images to remove the color, and adjusting contrast and brightness, I was amazed by how much more drama… Read more

  • Back to this month’s One Four Challenge. My intention when I took to picture was to focus mostly on the giant clam and also on the lavender-field-like coral. But then, as I took the picture, a little red fish was passing by right on top of the clam, and sort of stole the scene, becoming one… Read more

  • Isolated

    They lived in an isolated island. The rest of the world was very close, though, separated from their island by a narrow canal. In years past, some tried crossing the canal to the other side, but were swallowed alive by the sea creatures that populate the passage. But it hasn’t been like this forever. Legend says that… Read more

  • (…or on the eleventh, as I never get to do it on the right date… ;o) This month, the prompt words for the Six on the Sixth challenge are GOBLIN | SPIT | SHINE | BELITTLE | GAPE | MAINTENANCE This time I tried to link them all, and created a 36-word story composed of 6 6-word sentences,… Read more

  • Robyn’s One Four Challenge is back this month!!! And once again I decided to participate. This year, with a few changes that happened on my job, I haven’t been able to find as much time for blogging than I did last year, so I’m getting far behind with writing challenges, but the photo ones are… Read more

  • Life

    A loud THUD, then silence. His body falls to the ground. I run to check on him. His eyes are still open and expressive. I can hear the drum of his heart. Good! There is still life on him.   This post was written in response to the Weekly Writing Prompt #21, which this week prompts… Read more
