All a Figment of My Imagination

What We Find in the Dark
Today is Memorial Day, but the weather isn’t cooperating: it’s too cold to enjoy the lake. I had planned to take the day off and post tomorrow instead, but it feels like any other Monday, so here I am. However, it’s not just any other Monday. It’s a special Monday because my niece came toContinue reading “What We Find in the Dark”
Diving In or a Step at a Time

It masks the world soft, hiding sharp objects.It entices us into the blinding white to freeze. A snowflake confuses the eye, appearing to float, barely falling as it holds our attentionwhile thousandsContinue reading “Snow is Beautiful Danger”
Rituals to Face Today
For today’s images, I played with the trope of the hooded figure performing rituals (and it gave me an excuse to pull out my pretty cape I made a long time ago for a Death costume). OctPoWriMo Last time I was in New Orleans, I found a book called Gumbo Ya-Ya: A Collection of LouisianaContinue reading “Rituals to Face Today”
