Friday's sky. A fine balance of order and chaos.

Clouds in various shades of gray and white, with glimpses of blue sky. There are linear patterns in the clouds on several different scales.

War creates two categories of persons: those who
outlive it and those who don’t.

Both carry wounds.

#ourworldiswonderful; Hi, I'm back online. Loads to catch up on, but here's a shot taken while away. It's a waterfall in the small Yorkshire Dales village of Harmby. More to come soon!

A waterfall splashes white in the shade of trees and cliffs, with the gravel bed of the stream in the foreground.

🏁Fast or slow, every bounce tells a story

emotion of childhood , a simple race that suddenly feels different.

Which part of your story do you think would make kids pause and feel the same way?
