I don’t always strive for symmetry when taking photos especially on trips. Here are some I dug up that fit the bill or almost.

First time to try this challenge and first post from a new phone and via WordPress Mobile from one of my workations. No filter or editing here. Not quite sure all the photos fit the theme.
Strange Source
She noticed a bunch of flowers growing in the garden — red-tipped, velvety petals, dark blue in the middle. Coming closer, the petals were wet to the touch. “Odd..”, she mumbled to herself. The other plants were a bit dried out after the family moved a fortnight ago to be closer to her parents. Only this one seems well cared for. Overcome by curiosity, she checked the seemingly well-watered ground, brushing the soil around it. Not long after doing this, she uncovered a limp hand buried right next to the growth. She stifled a scream, and failed.

Here Lies..
My late naughty older stepbro, ladies and gentlemen. My fur sibling. Sign added for good measure. My way of paying respect for the years spent living under the same roof. Not by choice but it had its moments. What we had was not an untenable relationship despite the situation thrust upon us by our hooman ‘rents. Such implusive creatures, those two. The mutt did put up with my moods and claws all those years so…RESPECT.
This is one of those rare occasions I’m willing to pose for a photo. Make it worthwhile. And don’t you dare create one of those social media accounts using my photo and give me ridiculous handles for your amusement. You’ve been warned.

Distance
We had said our goodbyes
Again and again
This time, though
There was a firmness
In her final embrace
As she turned her back to me
Tears glisten down her cheeks, and mine
For visually challenged writers, the image shows a twilit beach, the sea shimmering in the low light. There are rocky islets silhouetted against the water and what might be a figure, running towards…or away from the waves.

WPC: All-Time Favorites
What? Why..?? I’ve only submitted 4 posts via weekly challenges and just started (this month) connecting and having a sense of community through blogging. I haven’t had enough time nor posts to have all-time favorites! But as they say, all things come to an end. So THANK YOU, WPC. The challenges have helped me bounce back and start blogging again. It was a good albeit (too) short boost for action; quick shots of inspiration when I needed them.
Beautiful Twist
When I was younger and naïve, at the (un)ripe age of 9, I planned the next 10-15 years of my life. I’m glad it’s taken on all sorts of beautiful twists since then and needless to say, not according to plan.

Place In the World
It used to be any quiet beach; calm but not dead. I would lie down on this natural water bed without a care in the world.
Lately though, the mountains call to me. I can recalibrate and feel at peace at just the sight of green mountains (or white, if winter) and be in awe. A water beside it seals the deal for me.
But as a city girl, having lived in the city all my life, I never thought I’d love being in any city until I’ve been to Japan. And I was smitten by this city with a soul, or at least personality. Or dare I say, identity?
