I saw Cee’s challenge over at Ali’s blog, Drailman on Life, and wanted to join in. I love taking pictures of paths. I have many and here are a few. The goal of this challenge is to take a photo featuring a path, road, bridge or whatever, in which it is the main focus.
And I was so inspired, I wrote a poem. I hope I didn’t break too many rules.
****************************
Is my life over
Or has it not begun?
Which way, that way
Why don’t you run?
Or skip or hop
Take in the view
You may not be here tomorrow
This much is true
Different thoughts
Will run through you
Breeze past you
Some will catch you off guard
Today you will choose
A path not there yesterday
In front of you now
Voices swift
The hand you hold near

Lovely photos and great poem 🙂
That first path in particular looks idyllic.

I like the collection. Well done. The curved walking bridge is my favorite … but wow … that’s some beach!

Thanks, Frank. I loved that walking bridge, too. It’s one of my favorite spots in Folsom. Are you taking about the sandy beach? Or the view? Thanks for stopping by!

Oh yes, that’s Pismo Beach! The kids went up and down that sandy hill. They loved it.

I think I’ve only been to two beaches in California, and Pismo was one … we watched a beautiful sunset there.
