  • CCY: Diagonal Lines

    My first picture for this week’s challenge is one I wasn’t really the one who took, since I’m actually the one pictured on it. It was still with my camera, though… The picture showed a bit more of the structure, but I like how my body lines up with the pole, so I cropped it Read more

  • My drops of tears I’ll turn to sparks of fire

    He hated Shakespeare! No one ever knew why, but he did, indeed. Maybe it was the fact that he had to study all of those plays and sonnets at such a tender age. With the thou’s and thy’s and all those fancy old words that no one speaks anymore. Then, when he went to drama Read more

  • One Four Challenge – November Week 4

    This is the fourth and last week of the One Four Challenge for November. After last week’s post Nic suggested that I’d try GIMP. I installed it and had a quick look, but I have a confession to make. I did all my 4 edits at once at the beginning of the month and had Read more

  • Giggles

    They were hiking up the mountain, when a rock slide blocked the trail just behind them. They heard the noise, run back to check. “On no! How are we going to go back now? Do you think we could climb over?” “I guess it would be too dangerous. The rocks may not be settled.” “What Read more

  • The lion and me

    In this area of the land live a lion and me. I’m slightly smarter than him, he’s MUCH stronger than me. It’s an open land and we get the visit from several other smaller or not very smart animals. We feed on them, sharing the load. They satisfy us so I don’t need to bother the Read more

  • Travel Theme: Camaraderie

    Big sister helping little sister with reading. Currently that does not happen like this anymore, as little sister is much more interested in reading, which made her ‘pass’ big sister on reading skills… This post was written in response to Travel Theme: Camaraderie   Read more

  • Restriction

    She was a single mother of 4. Girl#1 and Boy#1 were good, healthy kids. Girl#2 was not healthy. Boy#2 was not good. He wasn’t bad either. But he had the bad habit of always getting in trouble. At 17 he was dating a crazy girl. She was trouble! Of the bad kind. They had a love Read more

  • One Four Challenge – November Week 3

    This is the third week of the One Four Challenge for November. For this week’s edit, I decided to make it look as if the picture was taken at twilight. I must confess I did not do great here, because the dark shadows may give me away, but at least I got more evening colors (or Read more

  • Snow Prince

    This post was written in response to the Flash Fiction for Aspiring Writers, with photo prompt by Sonya, from Only 100 Words. It was created to be read with Cookie Swirl C’s (hehehehehe) voice. Although for Cookie Swirl C my Elsa would sound more like Anna, and the other way around, but oh well…. (Yes, that’s Read more

  • Travel Theme: Faces

    Tuesday afternoon, I’m home sick with a bad cold. Took the morning to sleep and was planning to blog on the afternoon. But we have stormy weather today and lights are down. The no breakers are beeping like crazy, which does not help. Yet, I committed to post everyday this month, so doing what I Read more

  • Mrs. Bayle

    It was a small apartment building. 3 floors, 2 apartments on each. Mrs. Bayle has been there since forever, the oldest tenant in the building. She was the one who kept the flowers hanging at the porch. The building was not a masterpiece of architecture, all white, old, non-attractive. She kept the flowers to beautify Read more

  • One Four Challenge – November Week 2

    This is the second week of the One Four Challenge for November. Then, for this week’s edit, I decided to make it look more like fall (or maybe end of a hot summer), with more earthy colors. To accomplish that, I tried several different things on both Fotor on the PC and Photo Editor on my phone. But Read more

  • Catching fire

    “Mommy, mommy, look! The tree and bushes are catching fire! Look, they’re all yellow and red and orange.” “Oh, sweetie-pie, that’s not fire, it’s the leaves changing color for autumn.” “Changing color?” “Well, every year we have 4 seasons. Remember Winter? We went skiing and built a snowmen?” “Yeah, it was cold!” “In Winter there were Read more

  • Melting Ice

    She felt cold. Even in summer. She felt cold inside. Like her heart was made of ice. She was lonely and had no one. Life had taken from her what she loved the most. Her husband and kid are not in this world anymore. At work, she feels isolated from her peers and would barely Read more
