Ivy and Sunflower agreed to have a race. Who could reach the sky first.
Ivy was slow at the off, while Sunflower shot up, way ahead.
But then came the storm – which laid Sunflower flat.
Meanwhile, Ivy lazily climbed.
And climbed.
And climbed.
Yay! Just like the tortoise, Ivy won the race.

Thank you. You know, sometimes when I choose the challenge photo, I realise it really is a challenge. Much scratching of head before I came up with this! 🙂

I really appreciate your constancy in coming up with a foto every week, this is not easy I know but gives something like reliability in a volatile time.

Hardly anything is given to us, except for to those who are “gifted”. So life is a constant effort, to keep up to the expectations …

I think perhaps my acquisitiveness was a gift!

I think you got more gifts than that.

Thank you 🙂
It’s the one that comes to mind, that was evident in my childhood, when patience, discipline and constancy definitely weren’t

If I can’t think of something, I leave it. But usually I do get an idea.

I admit I’ve come close to not doing it. Which is a bit ironic since I’m the one who sets it!

But you always have a nice take on it. When I choose a photo off the net, I already am planning what I’ll write for it.

I never plan ahead. I take photos that interest me, or that I can see how potential for stories. But I seldom think ahead what I’m going to write
