Interlude ~ Being There

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Interlude ~ Sound principles?

Interlude ~ Before the Stones

Posted on October 27, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Interlude: Looking Back…

Posted on October 25, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Interlude ~ Saving the ‘best’?

Posted on October 20, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Going West: Walking with Angels

Posted on September 20, 2020 by Sue Vincent

We didn’t have to climb the whole height of the mountain; there is a makeshift car park about halfway up. I was glad of that, as my poor, much abused feet were not happy. I spend much of my life … Continue reading →

Dance ~ Noah Weiss #writephoto

Posted on May 19, 2020 by Sue Vincent

The prompt’s title was “Dance,” although this is an interesting title given that nobody’s dancing here. Sue, I’ll find a way to incorporate that word! After being in the maze of corn for so long, Roswell and Wanda finally saw … Continue reading →

Posted on October 14, 2019 by Sue Vincent

It is not every day that you get a graphic demonstration of one of the mysteries of the ancient world, especially not in your own garden. Or, in this case, your son’s. But that was exactly what we got when … Continue reading →
