Today's photo prompt The god wears a crown, so that passersby may think he's a king. He's waiting, trident poised, is he fishing? From the little bridge we observe him.

Untouchable
I remember the first months in the city, I was puzzled by people wearing black, as if in mourning. Months and years passed. Slowly, I wore darker clothes, without knowing why. Not only during the grey season, all the time. Did I forget Spring would come, clearer skies? Did I ignore the cheerful chorus … Continue reading Untouchable
Fallen leaves
This year it may have arrived late, but now, it is here. The time of the year when shadows play tricks, shallow shapes appear, as if conjured up by a malicious genie, and then disappear, erased. This lovely vision may not be real, those blond hair, flying in the light wind, are not what they … Continue reading Fallen leaves
Copper #writephoto
Thursday photo prompt It is not so far, where we met for the first time, when we were incredibly young, and so ignorant. Not so far in distance from here, but in time, we dare not say.

Bright #writephoto
Thursday photo prompt Often we walked in those woods, you and me, when the bluebells shone, and the sky reminded us that Easter was close by. Today, the air is clear, the ground soft to our feet, as it was then. "What is the difference?" we could ask. But we don't. We both know. … Continue reading Bright #writephoto
Glimmer #writephoto
Glimmer "Beyond those hills is our home", he said softly to her ear, as they looked down the valley, toward the estuary. There the town was cradled, a thin glimmer of light against the darkness. She shivered a little, but not from cold. She thought again of the place, the wild garden, the old … Continue reading Glimmer #writephoto
Babylon #fivewords
Weekly Writing Prompt #161 We can no longer tour the City as it was, and yet, in the dawn hour, we can chase its ghosts.
