Linked to Cosmic Photo Challenge where Dale offers the theme of “low light”. I lowered the light on these, perhaps too much.
Also linked to Trent P. McDonald’s The Weekly Smile. The leaves are gone, but the forest preserve is still a peaceful place to walk conducive to many smiles.
Here is a poem I wrote for Chel Owen’s Christmas Newsletter challenge. The challenge is open until December 11th for any who might want to participate. These poems are supposed to be funny. I am not sure that mine is, but if I did achieve that rare state of humor, that would bring another smile to my face.
Christmas Newsletter Larry’s Earth is on the Moon. Greg’s might be on Mars. Lulu’s livid with the news. Sue shoots shooting stars. I’m the final one who’s sane. At least, I can pretend. I have no time to rush away, so Merry Christmas, friend!



Hahaha, nice poem, Frank.
I like the atmosphere in that first shot, very serene.

I am glad you liked the poem. I like the light on the water and the silhouetted branches in it. Thank you, Dale!

I love your first shot. I don’t think the light’s too low. I’m glad I finally found your website through Natalie’s website. You entered our Rodeo Contest #3, and the form didn’t ask for a website. I wanted to thank you for entering. Have a wonderful week.
