I’m off on an adventure, but I’ll be back soon. You may wait in the heart of the Night-Light Forest while I’m away. It’s lovely here. If you squint your eyes, you can just make out the shadowy figures of creatures who are too shy to show themselves. They hum the same soft tune and sway to the music they make. The light show was created for them. They love the lights — O glorious light! Magnificent bursts of phosphorescence; the sky is awash with color.
If you chose to spend time here, be respectful. No hooting and hollering lest you disturb the serenity. Don’t trod on anyone’s feet. Feel free to hum along, though, once you’ve deciphered the tune. If you must snack, pick up after yourself. And if you happen to see Betsy, tell her the thing she most wants to know is skulking around here somewhere.
I’ll see you all when I return. If you’re good I may bring you a little something. Maybe chocolate, maybe not. It’s a surprise.
Everyone loves a surprise.
I love the vibrant images in your photographic art. And it’s true, everyone loves a surprise!

Thank you! There were three items in the tags, Betsy. Hope you got them all. I don’t know if you know about Picmonkey website. I use it all the time to tweak photos. The Diana Photo app is so much fun to play with. You should check it out.

I want chocolate! But people tell me I’m a hoot a lot, so I don’t know if I can avoid that. I’ll try. 😉

Ooooo! Surprises!
I can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve.
In a completely separate and random question – Have you read or seen any of Sally Mann’s photography or books? Though your subjects are different, I feel similar things when I see her work and yours. PLUS – you are both so poetic with your prose. Divine….
