Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Just for Fun

October 30, 2018.Reading time less than 1 minute.

“Take a picture while I’m swinging, Grandma!” “I can’t. You need to stay still. Hey…get back here!?” Kids are so easy to make laugh. “Look Grandma, I found my people.” Where does this kid get it from? And just in case you are wondering….apparently he does exist… (Just for fun is the weekly prompt for […]

V.J.’s Weekly Challenge #21: Veil

October 29, 2018.Reading time 1 minute.

I thought about skipping over Hallowe’en, but who doesn’t like a good, spooky story? And I have a few…just have to shake them out of my memory bank… Meanwhile, let’s write, photograph, and have fun with the paranormal. And if that doesn’t work, then use the word veil in another context. I know you will […]

No Stopping the River

October 28, 2018.Reading time 2 minutes.

The first rule in interpreting dream messages, is to recognize that the meaning of a symbol varies with personal experience. This is why dream dictionaries are ineffective. This week’s responses to the river prompt clearly demonstrate this principle. For me, I have always envisioned the collective unconscious as a river whose flow encompasses all – past, […]

Photo A Week: Reflection

October 27, 2018.Reading time 1 minute.

Armed with Nancy Merrill’s prompt and my camera, I convinced my husband to drop me off at the river last night, just as the light was fading. The stillness of the day promised to offer some good photo opportunities. Autumn has turned up her colour, although the leaves are disappearing quickly, so I fear I […]

Contemplating the River

October 26, 2018.Reading time 1 minute.

You can’t push the river, a teacher once told me. So true. I’ve had a lifetime of trying to outrun the river, and consequently, the shattered pieces of my efforts litter life’s banks. With illness, I have come to appreciate that it is not about flowing with the river, or keeping up, but being open. The […]

Oh, Susan! (FOTD)

Brown-eyed Susans wild with yellow pizzazz – brighten Autumn’s chilly days. (Cee’s Flower of the Day)

Things People Drive (CFFC)

October 25, 2018.Reading time less than 1 minute.

I once married a man, whose obsession with cars was equal to worship. I think of our relationship – and all that was missing – when I see vehicles, who clearly take time and attention to keep on the road. That’s not to say I can’t appreciate a finely tuned antique vehicle, nor does it […]
