Five Photos: Five Stories

24 Comments/ 3899/ 0

Revisiting a challenge from 2015. I have a lot of different followers now so it seemed like a great way to do a week of repeat posts. Enjoy.

The rules of Five Photos; Five Stories are to post a photo a day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or a short paragraph. Oh yes, and each day nominate another blogger for the challenge. Thanks to Dianna of These Days of  Mine for tagging me to do this challenge.  A great one for this time when I am feeling super busy and need a simple blog challenge. 

Day 1

You have met them.  Those characters who live life outside the box.  Who refuse to conform.  Who are comfortable in their own skin. Those who march to the beat of their own drummer.

Meet Danny.  Danny was one of our removalists when we left Saunders Beach in Queensland, Australia.

Danny was colorful  Even without his tattoos he was colorful.

He lived life full on.  I could tell.  He had an infectious smile and loved life.  He loved his job and being with his mates.

He treated our household items with respect and consideration and kept us amused at the same time.

He happily posed for a picture for me and it reminds me of those days when they were packing us up, getting us ready to move back to the US where life would continue on to another adventure.

Danny from Oz

Life is short. Grab those moments.  Enjoy the characters who pass your way and remember to look beyond the outward appearance.

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

All the Light We Cannot See

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
