Fragments

As wings touch the sky,

Fragments of eternity,

Scatter ‘cross the sea.

I have to admit that I’ve already visited my thesaurus twice today. Don’t ask me why I feel the need to confess this… it just feels right. Plus it explains why my haiku—written for Ronovan Write Haiku Challenge: Meet & Part —contains neither of of those words. Ha! The meaning is there!

I actually started working on the image yesterday, for Ragtag’s Sunday word prompt, which was BEACH. I realize it’s a day late, but it’s the thought that counts. It was another photograph from the archives, as I’ve yet to see the beach since COVID hit. Soon though!

That’s about all for now. I’ve got a short story to finish, some old posts to rummage through for my next rewrite, and a paper to write for school!

Until next time…
Peace & Love!

On the Bay

Drop-ins at the Bay,

Laugh and Play Pitter-patter,

Welcome intrusion.

Last night I decided that using borrowed images, or upcycling my own (which I’ve done here) is about all I can handle at the moment. Besides my old laptop looking tired, programs are running WAY to slow lately. This one’s an old photo from South Texas, jazzed up with new effects.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I only have so much patience when it comes to waiting for my hard drive to catch up with me. I may seem nice, but last night I was cussing like a sailor. I’ve had it!

Maybe it’s my laptop, or maybe it’s the internet, but I refuse to watch that little blue wheel of death spin around anymore. It’s time to give Photoshop a rest. I’ll be shopping for a new PC in May, so—until then—I’m going to focus on my lifestyle changes, journaling, and some creative writing.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going!
