Icy Shore
“The icy wind blew quickly by, making my bones feel like cold stone. I’ll have to pick up the pace a little, get the blood circulating to keep me warm. I really don’t know why I put myself through this torture, at least this time I had enough sense to stretch my limbs before I headed out. Funny thing, once I’m off and away with my blood pumping fast, my skin starts to tingle all over, its not all that bad. I laughed at myself Well, thats what keeps you young and healthy, my Dad used to say…excercise! My thoughts ran off in various directions as always, never can hold a still thought in my head. That’s one for the books….I’ll never be lonely…always having a conversation in my head! I reached the rocks at the end of the shore in no time, not puffing too badly this time. Such a tranquil and peaceful walk….maybe thats what draws me to venture out here alone. I turned and headed for home feeling the exhiliration and sense of well being that always has me coming back for more”

another stunning abstract design, Kathie. such wonderful textures. thanks for putting up with the cold. It’s 90 here in L.A. and I hate the heat, so this makes me feel good to look at.

Kathie, this is brilliant and I love the writing that goes with it – you should publish a book on Blurb which is free and you can include your pictures and your words. Check it out here. Lesley

Very atmospheric, Kathie.
The story line sets the scene, and I truly couldn’t add anything to this.
Kathie Nichols replied
Thanks Lensman…..yes I did get a little carried away…didn’t leave the story halfway like usual! xxx

I never saw any really good macro photos until I joined RedBub, but I really like yours! They’re also a confirmation of my growing understanding of nature’s fractals. But it takes a real designer’s eye to catch them!
