Veiled Threat

sand
                           flying
                           hazily
                       in a desert
                           storm

Sandstorm captured in so few words. With so many sandstorms in the deserts around the world, it makes me wonder as to what lies beneath them // James....

I am sure many places of interest are buried beneath layers of sand...who knows how many lives have been lost in deserts, too! Thank you for stopping by, considering it's stormy weather on my page:) // paul

I know you have, Olive_eloi!! Would not want to be caught in one myself! I hate flying sand...it stings and gets everywhere! On the beach in calm weather it's totally different:) hugs // paul
