I really love it when I get feedback from my friends out here on the interweb, social sites and, of course, in the real world. And lately there has been one singular, simple iPhone shot that had quite a few positive reactions. Not only that those friends and/or fans liked the photo, but it inspired them.
Let that sink in for a moment. Somebody else found inspiration in one of my creations. How wonderful is that?!
Let’s focus for a moment on Leslie from Time out for Mom another creative soul whose blog I have been following for a while. She has such an entertaining – I am laughing and smiling a lot while reading her posts – and honest style of writing, it is great fun to be virtual friends. She also just got a ‘Big Girl Camera’ and is already showing us some great photos.
What I was not aware of until last night is that she is also really gifted in writing prose and verse. The simple picture you see below inspired her to a beautiful and mysterious poem. Which you should definitely read – ‘Misty River Ride‘. And while you are at it, the picture she published together with the poem on here website – what do you think of that? Pretty much not bad, huh?!

And now to the regular feature of Friday Four Fill ins ~ here is from Hilary’s blog:
Okay, you know the deal – Each week, I list four statements with a blank for you to fill in on your own blogs. If you want to join the fun and come up with four fill in’s of your own, please email them to me

If I use them, I will add you as co-host to the hop! This week’s co-host is CARLA from RANDOM RAMBLING she who came up with the last two statements.
This week’s statements:
1) Don’t you love when you get to spend money! Hahaha – sorry, the first thought that came to mind. And not really me 😉
2) I wish there were more vacation days but I would settle for, hmm, nothing less?
3) When I hear the word dream I always think of the beach – see 4).
4) My dream place to live is right at the beach – but, you already knew that.

What an inspiration! I took a writing class and they too use pictures to inspire stories.
Did you like the writing class? Maybe I should, too – but, honestly I think it would be wasted on me 🙂
Love number 1 – I love spending money too : ) but then again I don’t know anyone who doesn’t – have a great weekend x
Weeell, it is not so much that I LIKE to spend money, but it does come in handy when there is some to spend when I actually want to spend it. Wow – that felt complicated 😉
“Misty waters framed by blacken’d branches” – puts it in a nutshell. Very atmospheric, mystic image which you present here! I can understand that this may even inspire to such a thoughtful poem.
All the best 🙂
Michael
Yes, it is rather fitting, right?! Thanks, Michael. I really have to get back to that place. Although, in summer I fear that I cannot get to it, because of the thick brush.
First – thanks for the shout out and praise – wow, I blush. 🙂
And for being an inspiration in your work.
Also, I think must of us are wishing for a beach holiday…… I think we should have our own little bloggy convention some place sunny, warm and where the drinks have tiny umbrellas! which goes very nicely with #1 too. LOL
You deserve it, Leslie! The only problem with us all on a beach holiday is that all of us would need to travel quite a ways. Not that I mind travel, not at all, but… 😉
That is a great shot. I love it and finally have the time to read the poem. And maybe do the fill-in… Have a great weekend and enjoy your birthday!!! xoxo
Thank you, Susi. The poem is great, right?! Thanks for the birthday wishes 🙂
Great post and what a beautiful picture! 🙂 Cindy
Thank you so much, Cindy. Glad you like it.
couldn’t agree with you more for three and four… hey! I rhymed!
Yes – we are beachie girls! 😀
