Another beautiful photo prompt from Sue…
A blanket of cloud
Covers the mossy ground
Hiding what’s below
An illusion created

Tuesday is also Matt the Book Blogger’s Flash Fiction Prompt day!
The prompt song is Christina Aguilera’s ‘Say Something’.
It’s funny, this song reminds me of my Lil Princess, as she always sings it, and I didn’t know what the song was… (Getting old, me!) Well, now I know!
Inspired entirely by the part in the video where the elderly man is with his sick wife… ( I had tears in my eyes watching that part of the video…
“Bet, say something. Bet? Lillibet? My sweet, I know you can hear me. Just give my hand a squeeze so I know you’re not annoyed with me. I’m sorry I didn’t get your favourite gingernuts. The doctor wasn’t sure you’d be up to eating them. But I did sneak in a Bakewell Slice. I know how much you love them.”
Frank looked at the sleeping figure, and his eyes welled up. His Bet was such a chatterbox, you couldn’t keep her quiet usually.
He felt a hand come to rest on his shoulder.
“Granddad, you need to say goodbye now.”

So there were some glorious views in Helsinki while we were there, last week, but something else struck me as ‘glorious’. The colour of these Scarlet Ibises…
And the colours on the tail feathers of this Peacock…
The vibrant colours
Of these birds of a feather

So, it’s not like I have nothing better to do… the last term of the academic year means my first set of end of year reports, and that is a BIG task!
But then my Blog Sis Erika throws me a spin ball, and I have to hit it! She has opened the challenge to write something romantic on a Tuesday! #RomanticTuesday.
