visual dare #20 :: cascade

She stared at the falling water, the sounds of people rushing through the streets behind her slowly fading as she became lost in her thoughts. The fatigue slipped away, and she felt happier than she had in weeks. It’s a season, it will pass, she told herself. A hand gently laid on her elbow broke the thoughts, and she lifted her gaze from the water,and turned. Her husband smiled at her, and pressed his finger to his lips as she peeked around the carrier holding their sleeping daughter. Sleep and energy would come. For now, she had them both to keep her afloat.

Linking up with Angela at Anonymous Legacy for this weeks visual dare. Total word count – 102.

    Your use of language was well aligned with the scene of cascading clear water. It was lovely, Angela is right. Lovely and gentle…I really enjoyed this!

Welcome!

Hi! I'm Rachel. I love making things & experimenting with new techinques & mediums. I am addicted to pretty paper, and make & sell letterpress stationery. Being creative is my sanity break from the rush of life as a wife, and a mother of four. I do a lot of my creating without shoes. This is the story of where my bare feet & creative heart take me.
