Pictures - POTD

Photographs hanging on a clothesline
Some in color, some black and white
My picture is pinned right up with theirs
In the sky filled with cumulus clouds

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 8/15/2025 1:01:00 PM Dear Riley, Congrats on POTD! Your picture, just pinned right up there with the rest was like you belong to that gallery in the clouds. That one detail turns it from something pretty into something personal, almost intimate. It made me think of how our lives get hung alongside everyone else’s in this big, windy world, sometimes blending in, sometimes standing out. Blessings, My Friend, Daniel Login to Reply Riley Emerson Date: 8/19/2025 12:18:00 PM Thank you Daniel for your thoughtful comment and blessings to you as well. :)
