No flash fiction this week, due primarily to procrastination. Instead, I'll share some photos I took over the holidays, mostly of water and light (with a few trees thrown in). I have a feeling that until I get some kind of grip on the edits to
Death By Adverb I'll be burrowing into the archives for photos on more Fridays that this. [Note: progress is happening on DBA. I have figured out, I hope, most of what needs to be done. Doing it, of course, is always another matter.]

I sat on the ground to photograph the twinkling lights in the pussywillow tree. Still trying to figure out why the lights flared that way.

Great pictures, especially the ones with the lights.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I have to figure out why the lights streaked like that, though. It's a cool effect here, but I won't always want it :)
DeleteI really like that last picture! I like the reflections of the trees in the other pictures. I don't know where these were taken, but in a couple of those pictures, I can imagine a lazy alligator in the water.
ReplyDeleteNo gators! These are all taken in Chico Creek, in the upper part of California's Central Valley. For those under a lot of snow, this is the heart of winter :)
DeleteBeautiful pictures. I've always liked the look of water reflected the sky above like a mirror.
ReplyDeleteMe too! And I really like the oil-paint look of water abstracts.
DeleteI adore that last one - definitely abstract of the year!
ReplyDeleteI think Chuck's first prompt of the year lacked inspiration, which is why I gave up on it. I hope they improve - but not sold on the new week's either.
Thanks. Sometimes I get lucky :)
DeleteYeah, I couldn't get any traction with the prompt. It was a little too obvious, I think. And the new one isn't easy for me, since I don't listen to music the way he does. I am SOOO tempted to use my favorite line from Kat Eggleston's song about "Too much **** in my purse": "It took 3 days to find my cat."
Gorgeous. Makes me think of back home in the Carolinas. There are some beautiful water ways out there. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
