Brenda, this has a fantastic collection of pretty duos in natural settings. I would not have been able to resist throwing in a photo of a pair of flip flops! 🙂
pARES….LOOKED LIKE PARIS, AT FIRST….MY EYES ARE GOING BAD I THINK….! nice peaceful photos! Good job. Pardon my asking….how is all this peacefulness cathartic????
Just setting aside my struggles with writing and focusing on something else helps me purge the angst and put it into perspective. Jane Yolen described writing a story like a woman delivering a baby. So a story is born of pain, anguish and the struggle to live. I find the more I struggle, the better my writing and the more suffocating the process can be. It’s like the relief of carrying something heavy, and setting it down for a few moments, and having all the muscle tension ease away. Does that make sense or have I gone round the bend?
Congratulation on having your photos featured on Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge

No. Makes sense. Seems like writing the story IS CATHARTIC!!!! Good Thing to take a break from it! No more ExLAX for a while!

I think it was actually beginning and finishing something in a day. It didn’t take 4 years of revising and BST. (Blood sweat and tears)

Not at all. If they had noses, they would most certainly look down them.
