Enumerating the countless greens, and blues, and greys of the ocean could occupy my hours for almost an eternity. Yet nature is coquettish. She flirts, opening her voluminous paint box, and offers orange.
This week’s prompt at Trifecta is 33 words, using a color. After a spur of the moment decision-and a seven hour car ride-to visit the beautiful Oregon coast, I’m surrounded by enough color to write 33 word posts about it for eternity.
A beautiful glimpse, Valerie. It makes me want to run outside.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tina! Now that I'm here, that's exactly what I did:) xx
DeleteDelightful! And I hope you intent to carry through with writing these 33 word colour masterpieces for eternity, because I'd be happy to continue reading them for exactly that long.
ReplyDeleteKallan Annie, the feeling is entirely mutual! I can't begin to say how much I love my fellow writers, like you:)
DeleteThanks LaTonya! Nature is such an inspiring muse:)

ReplyDeleteHey Valerie,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering why I hadn't heard from your blog in so long. Glad I finally found you again. Mahalo for all of your comments on my Island Dream Life too.
Much Aloha!
I love this...it makes me anxious for fall when we get to see such colors :)
ReplyDeleteNature flirting and offering orange. This is breathtaking. Absolutely love the entire piece.
ReplyDelete"Yet nature is coquettish. She flirts, opening her voluminous paint box, and offers orange."
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this. Love the idea that--just when you think you've seen all her beauty, nature reveals even more.
Well done, again!
I agree with Ivy, the offering of orange was amazing. I loved nature as flirty.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love this! The words are so enchanting, and that feather is beautiful with the bright orange. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteOOOh, that last photo is exquisite! I'm improving. You may or may not know about me getting injured? But, I am better enough to reply to comments, now. Your 33 words were eloquently stated, my sweet. Take your time at the beach and return home safely.
ReplyDeleteLove the feather and the touch of "orange" in your writing. I envy your visiting the Oregon coast. I imagine there are tons of colors to see there:~)
ReplyDeleteAs usual, a well done Trifecta!
Happy day to you.
