The lion in March
The stormy March has come at last, With winds and clouds and changing skies; I hear the rushing of the blast That through the snowy valley flies — William C. Bryant In march winter is holding back and spring is pulling forward. Something holds and something pulls inside of us too — Jean Hersey It was one of those March […]
WPC: Out of This World
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of February 28, 2018. This week, share a picture that takes us on a journey into the unknown. I tried something a little different this week.
