of the fisherman’s boat

  2. why is there a lack of originality in most current writings.

    i’ll “try” to keep this brief.

    in conveying nature, or being seasonal why do most fail to rise to the challenge.

    a suggestion, mind you, for future references:

    mist upon the lake…

    a mallard abeam
    of the fisherman’s boat

    it may have been a summer morning but be a little more expressive.

    steamy reflections

    morning mirage

    dragonflies

    humid sunrise

    sweltering heat

    the list could go on and on

    ……………………………

    “focus, juxtapose, seasonal, and nature”

    though more often, “in need of repair, credibility, and all too often, the pretenders”

    thanks ferris
