This post was written for Five Minute Friday.Word prompt--DISAPPOINT
Five minutes to free write about it.It's easy for me to feel disappointed when things don't turn out the way I expect them to, but sometimes there's a silver lining.
For instance, there's a field in town that used to have horses and donkeys grazing on it, always good subject matter for a photo shoot. My visits, however, ended with the pandemic. It didn't even cross my mind until a few days ago when I had a sudden yen to walk over and take pictures. Fully expecting to find the animals there, I was both shocked and disappointed to discover they were not.
As I stood stupefied, a rustling sound caught my attention and I saw a large family of squirrels scampering across the fence, leaping up into the tree, and skittering across the branches. Disappointment quickly turned to delight as I watched their antics for a while. They moved so quickly I was only able to capture these two babies who trailed the pack. I was, however, able to get lots of shots of the beautiful roses and flowers growing near the fence.
My walk may not have been what I expected it to be, but it certainly had a happy ending.
A beautiful pictorial reminiscence of your walk. Plans may go awry but nature always provides a wonderful alternative.

Have a blessed week.
What could be better than squirrels and roses! Both captivating and comical to beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSometimes surprises are better than the intended search.
