Sunday Muse # 207

 Some things need stillness, others movement, and then there are others that simply move us. Here are a mix of images that do all of these things.  Choose one that speaks to you and take it from there.  I  look forward to reading your words.  

Now here we go....zooom zoooom:

  1. Ponder & Muse
  2. Link &  Share

Most importantly, have fun everyone!

  2. Peter Beard was a fascinating man, immensely talented, his photographs never failed to satisfy (this lady since the 60s.) His body was discovered in 2020, in woods near his home on Long Island after missing for nearly a month. His family writing: "He died where he lived: in nature."
    Thanks for including him in your great collection of images this morning, Carrie.

    1. That is both fascinating and sad. Thank you so much Helen for this history on a talented man. It gives even more depth to the image; knowing these things. You always know lots of stuff my friend!

  6. Good Evening All
    Liked the pictures, Carrie.
    I didn't feel up to writing about the third. I know, I should. So here in the comments I'll say only cowards and MAD MEN act.likr you, Mr. Scum Putin.
    I wrote, or practiced, a piece of prose tonight. It's mostly true except I wrote first person as a young lady.

  9. My poem is rather grim, I'm afraid. But it helps to write it.

    1. It is poignant my friend and sometimes speaking of the grim is necessary. 💙

  10. Carrie, I'm missing your write on these neat picture finds.
    Are you okay? I always like to read the prompter's ideas.
    And, yes we are okay. We've been on a cruise, 16 days from
    Ft Lauderdale to Southampton, U.K. Mrs. Jim came down with
    the Covid on our 6th day and she had to quarantine. I began
    testing every day for five days, on the 4th day I was positive.
    So I quarantined with her, together in a different room.
    Come time to disembark our quarantine time of 10 days had not
    expired (for reentry into the U.S.) so they took us to a mote.
    to finish our time. That added a week to our long boat ride,
    long because neither of us had been able to get off to visit.
    I am writing again, been since 2015, for NaPoWriMo 2022 this
    year, I write as "Jim1Jim1" on the NaPoWriMo site.
