This week Colleen Chesebro of Fairy Whisperer has set us our weekly prompt of Shadow and Light.
This week I have written a Tanka using a picture taken on a short break with people I really love and our dogs. I hope I have conveyed how happy we were.
We were four giants
With two playful loving dogs
Our story is told
Here in shadow and in light
Out of dark we made all bright.

Nice intro to a expansive progressive rock song!
Aug 25, 2017 @ 06:41:34
Nice thought which one. Can’t think of a rock song off hand but “We are Giants” from take that comes to mind but it’s hardly rock n roll 💜🌹

sky blue to green hues
to the shadows of the hounds
found… a yellow ball
the photo… big
a mile high… much more I sware
touch down took awhile
🙂

Such a moment full of fun
We were relaxed and happy, everyone.
The sun the sky the sea just out of view
We had it all the dogs did too.
Oh! It seems so long ago
T’was but two months in truth you know. 💜🌹
Aug 25, 2017 @ 12:10:46
Ha! Got here in the end
The breeze my parachute did send
Out to sea,, back now to tend
My notifications dear friend
The view looking down
A nice spot you had found
A sunny summers day too
Best wishes to your dogs
Yeah, okay and you, as if
I’d forget, Hey ho, must go
Joking and poetry aside, I have to ask, what lens was used to take the amazing photo?
Aug 25, 2017 @ 15:13:21
It was a mobile phone, Moto G 3rd generation, a brilliant shot. The hubby has his uses. 💜🌹
Aug 25, 2017 @ 15:55:02

Aug 25, 2017 @ 18:39:31
got me voice back,, what resolution is it, and is it cropped or just dawned on me is it scanned? Just curious as I find it quite impressive. 🙂
Aug 25, 2017 @ 17:49:40
It is not cropped or scanned. The phone camera 720x 1280 pixels. Hubby says a lucky shot!!💜🌹
