Night Stalkers

Creatures prowling through the forest

     hunters and prey cloaked by dark curtain

Scary creatures for sure, Carolyn! When I was little the bogeyman lived in my closet. My friends, who spoke French, were terrified by Bonhomme Sept Heure. I think after he scared everyone to bed, he'd come and hide in my closet.:) I think he's still around, waiting to pouce on the naive and innocent. An enthralling read...BOO!! :) Love, Mikki

The other side of nature that we hardly ever see unless on nature programmes. Good luck in Brian's contest with this fine Crystalline Carolyn....:)

Smile ~ I don't know about anyone else "My Dear, Precious & Beautiful Carolyn Devonshire!!!'" ~ But Thisss, sent chills up my spine for some reason? Maybe I need to lower the temp upon the air?? ~ Hope that "Your Beauty" is doing well and that life is treating "Your Wonders" splendidly, my dear ~ "Great Painting In Poe" ~ "Love, 'Always,'" John!) ~
