Friday Flash 55


It's Friday, and time for Flash Friday 55 once again! Take a pic, let that pic be your muse for a short piece (55 words or less). Stop by to tell Mr Know-It-All a thing or two about your writing and we'll come by for a visit!


"I stick my head out for a quick, refreshing breath.
The morning sun beats down upon the
still, frozen landscape, reminding me
how insignificant I really am in the scheme of things.
Mother Nature did her thing,
despite my wishes for warm weather.
I take that breath and return to the warmth
of my office."
I am blessed to live in a beautiful little community in Western Ohio, along the Miami and Erie Canal. My office is situated in a brand new building along the canal and affords me a wonderful view of the canal and our quaint little town. I don't have to look far for writing and spiritual inspiration! This is the view out the front door of our building, looking south along the canal. We were alotted seven whole degrees this morning. Don't spend them al in one place! wow!

The snow is so fresh and lovely.

Apologies for hoarding all the warmth - it's an hour past midnight and it's 26 degrees Celsius here.

Brrrrrrr. I had to turn my space heater on to read this one!

There is a peace and stillness to the photo though, as well as to your words.
