along the creek path

1. Ants are tenacious. Especially the little ones, holding fast to the stamen of a voluptuous white flower that fell from a flowering tree hidden from view. And though the flower desperately wants to be tucked behind an ear, ants do not mix well with human hair.

2. A lifeguard t-shirt is strangely out of place in the prairie, its wearer keeping watch over a sea of green.

3. Empty shoes next to a shallow creek are not necessarily an ominous sign. The water ripples gently over protruding rocks. The owner is nowhere in sight. The owner's socks are of the tiny white ankle variety.

4. Toddlers are the only ones who can look sweet holding their bums while shuffling across a field.

But what about my other blog? I'm still posting in that. I want to be able to read and link to each other's stuff but technology seems daunting.
