This theme had me scratching my head for something suitable. Then I remembered the hay bales at Flodden on top of the freshly cut field. I then realised that the site being a battle field meant their was a sadder hidden meaning for the word chopped.

More chopped can be found here.

The wave is not the water.
The water merely told us about the wave moving by.

52 Photos Project – Gallery 46 – Horizon

CherryPie — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 19:03:46 +0000

This weeks prompt was:

Where the sky meets the earth.
That thin line, the farthest point in
your field of vision.
Where are you?
What do you see?

I see many things on the horizon, most of them are beautiful and uplifting.

But once again I am drawn to this haunting horizon. Flodden field has an ethereal presence about it.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour.

I did a double take when I arrived back at the car after stopping off for a refreshing cup of tea on a long journey home. The ram had mysteriously buckled his seat belt!!!

Your most precious, valued possessions and your greatest powers are invisible and intangible. No one can take them. You, and you alone, can give them. You will receive abundance for your giving.

W. Clement Stone (1902 – 2002)
