Life
offers
diverse paths.
Travel wisely, 
but sometimes dare to go out on a limb.

Thank you,Sunshine. At times I wish I were a premium member as it makes so much more sense when connected to the picture prompt.

Thanks, Jeanne. Apparently the expression refers to the branch of a tree and 'out on a limb' is an allusion to climbing trees and going just a bit further than is comfortable. Like the adventurous squirrel in the picture prompt!
