Offer a poem, story or memory that this wonderful photo inspires.


____________________

The effort to climb high becomes
Exhileration on the downswing.

Feeling on top of the world one moment,
Then feet back on the ground the next.

The swings we experience when young
Prepare us for those we will encounter later.

The majestic trees watch, and remember.
They've seen it all before, and will see it all again.

One week after the photo or picture is posted I will pick one offering to put beneath the image. This is a way of celebrating exceptional creativity. Any and all posts are available for your creative mind to make an offering at any time (even ones where a writing has been placed on the front page like this one). If you are new here and want to offer to every image here, feel free. We are writers, WRITE! If this is your exceptional writing posted here on the Front Page Pictures, Poetry & Prose invites you to include the Exceptional Writing Award Button on your blog. Visit the Exceptional Writing Award post for the details and the button to download.

Laura Jayne, thank you for posting my photo. I apologize, I haven't participated in your wonderful blog as of late...this time of year is extremely busy for me and I miss the interaction...still an avid visitor and will get back into the swing of things shortly...I still love the creativity your blog inspires.

Take long, slow steps,
through an Eden unaware.

My soul takes a breath,
as eyes dance with the leaves.

A palette of beauty erupts,
as a tapestry unfolds for all.
