Surrender

WE POSSESS THE POWER, BUT HAVE TO LET GO TO FLY.

—janet—

This 11 word challenge was a little complicated, but I like the idea of being limited to just a few words. That being said, I hope my 11 word, self-made “proverb” makes sense.

I could have done better with 3 or 4 more words! I guess you could call this “fortune cookie style.” Anyway, I know that I sometimes boast about my frugality, but I broke down and splurged recently. I bought the new iPhone. I’ve been experimenting and learning for a week or two now and I’m having so much fun!

The featured image is a composite piece consisting of a motion blur background (something else that I’ve been experimenting with), a bird that I photographed ages ago, and a couple of different iPhone app effects. I think it’s safe to say that you can expect a whole new “iPhone image series” in the very near future.

That’s about all for now, so thanks for stopping by!

I’ll be back in a few days to resume my series Life: From A to Z.

Weekend Writing Prompt #196: Write a poem or a piece of prose using the word POSSESS in exactly 11 words.

      Hello my friend! I just read your latest post and wanted to comment but the like button and comment area was disabled from my end. Unless you did that intentionally I think WP is still causing problems. Or maybe it’s my phone. But thought I’d let you know!!

      Thanks, Janet. When you have a chance can you look once more? I messed with the settings again. I’m so fed up with it. It seems to be the plug-in Jetpack that causes problems. Do you have that plug-in and does it give you problems as well? Anyway, thanks to
      for your help.

    You gave me an idea again- to use my own photo and edit as my blog photo. 😂 Beautiful poem by the way. Sometimes, it’s the simplest things that make the biggest impact.
