52 Photos Project (prompt was 'what makes me laugh') ~Son's Xmas Decoration does! Welcome to our blog where we view life from the eyes of an artist's soul and explore what creativity can do to enhance the inner spirit. Today we are exploring what photography, haiku, silence and laughter adds to living a more balanced and creative life. Our exploring is done by linking up with various blogs with a variety of creative styles. Those blogs are 52 Photos Project which is what the first photo above is about as the 'prompt word was laughter). It just makes me giggle when I see it. It is a Christmas decoration with some humor. The other photo is for Outdoor Wednesday and Watery Wednesday taken shortly after a hurricane. Then we have Sensational Haiku and my three haiku are below for the word prompt (fiction). Because it is Wednesday, we are also linked to three Wordless Wednesdays as silence is always good for the soul. They are Aquariann's, Dave's and In Him. Click on any of the colored links to see these blogs. haiku I. it is all fiction told to the young and restless live the fantasy. II. stranger than fiction we are told by 'they' power you know who 'they' are. III. ocean waves tell tall tales ebbing in and out with time don't go near the water.

Hi Carol,
ReplyDeleteThe water looks calm and at the same time forceful. Water is soothing, nourishing, peaceful at at the same time has so much force to destroy. Yet water is essential for everything!
Thanks for linking up and Happy Wordless Wednesday!

Love that water photo, but sure wouldn't want to be caught in that!
ReplyDeleteI need to get one of those Christmas decorations for my husband. He watches all the Christmas shows every year and the Rudolph show is one of his favorites. Amazing water photo!
ReplyDeleteI think....no, I'm positive, I like the ocean wave haiku best. And that abominable snowman image brings back time for me and our grown kids with the seasonal TV special they never missed.
ReplyDeleteYour photo in the header is beautiful. I love the beach and bays, it's so calming. I am so happy to meet you and find you have a very interesting blog, I look forward to taking the tour. I look forward to visiting your poetry. I'm delighted to meet you.

Thank you for sharing. Always like your haikus.
ReplyDeleteI have often wondered who "they" are... ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the Rudolph/Bumble picture. They Bounce, you know... ;)
I needed this this morning--thank you for the post! I also love the Rudyard Kipling quote--you learn that in acting class. Think of a particular smell to bring up a certain emotion--it works pretty well. And thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment--I appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteLove it! That is from one of our favorite Christmas movies - terrific post - love the haiku!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a blessed day,
