"Come to me!" the Lake Huron lakeshore beckons after an icy winter. "Come and see what the last storm brought you. I lay my driftwood at your feet."Jeff loves to find artistic driftwood strewn along the shoreline that he can use for his bird carvings. This one didn't interest him, but I loved the wood texture and vibrant colors of the surrounding rocks enough for a snapshot.
Where did this saturated chunk of wood begin its journey on the lake? What was it part of? Someone's dock that bit the dust? A support beam for a rock wall? A wooden scrap a kid named Danny threw into the water so he could pretend it was a boat while he watched the bobbing wood drifting away, rising to the swell of each wave and pushing forward so that Danny had to squint in the sun to see it.
And in my head, a story begins to take shape. I looove writing fiction and hope to become novel published one day. :D
It's great to let the muse run wild. Have you tried it? Look at a scenic photo and let your imagination take you on a journey. :D
Have a super weekend, dear friends.
Hugs, JJ

Great photo my friend, I like the stones and wood that are sculptured by the sea. That has been always intriguing for me. Have a great weekend and thanks for your comment to my blogpost!
Kia ora JJ,
Lovely, and the clarity of the waters of Lake Huron in spring always moved, moves, me deeply. It adds to those colours and makes it sublime. That was the first thing I wondered when I saw that wood, "Where did that come from"?
Have a great day JJ.
Aroha,
