Perspectives through Prose, Poetry and Photography

Fallen Feather
White, well mostly, bright, as night recedes to dawn’s entreaties, Resting, softly lain upon the tide-moist shore. Grains of sudsy sand, rushing, gushing in with shifting tides, flinging, clinging grains between my toes. Leaning closer still, beneath the feather, delicate and clean, I spy… Continue Reading “Fallen Feather”

Aspects of Light
Brightly Lit: I had a difficult time selecting a single photo to epitomize this week’s Photo Friday prompt, “Brightly Lit”. I soon realized that there are many, equally compelling interpretations. *** Brightly Lit: Direct Light: The indescribably bright, white-hot flame flickering in a beachside fire pit.
