A Sunday Stroll: my latest .@ImageCurve #haibun

During the Giant game, a tease of a drive turns into a route. One I missed while at the Res with family. Sitting on a rock overlooking the reservoir.

Lost in permutating ripples, and our stillness.

    Nicely conjured Frank – made me jump… In fact made me feel like a frog in that split second – the magic of this form.. Truly!

    I agree with Grace about the moment of stillness before the bullfrog.

    You brought us to a peaceful spot. I’m sure the bullfrog concurs!

    You have captured a moment so well… so often we just pass those places without noticing.

    I love the tease of a drive turning into a route! Sometimes life has to take us somewhere we would never choose to go. And then….a bullfrogl
