Microfiction Monday #59 ~ where a picture paints 140 characters, or even fewer. Susan says:
Photos will be from my own archives; illustrations are from Dover Publications' free clipart sample newsletter.

I know she looks like a man in a long-haired wig.
But mark my words dear King
She will be a sweet wife for your son keeping him in line.

In the beginning...

Carry on Tuesday #81 ~ This week we have the first line of Elton John and Tim Rice’s song from The Lion King, The Circle of Life:
From the day we arrive on the planet...
~
In the beginning
When first we knew planet earth
We longed to explore
Some soared to great heights
Some dived to darkest of depths
Some just walked the walk
In the beginning
When first we breathed on the earth
Life became a wheel
A wheel of fortune
A wheel of raw heat and ice
A wheel of reason

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ When it's raining and Shadow still wants to be outside, she heads for an old lounge in the carport to ensure dry comfort.
You can see the dampness on the woods behind her.
