Awesome photos. They have a luscious gold hue, and in some of them the sand looks like butter! Here is my participation for this week: Thanks for hosting Wednesday Walk!

Cemeteries are great places to walk. Very peaceful! I had to smile at the idea that the original Garden of Eden was in Wisconsin. How quaint! I’m in Minnesota, by the way, so we’re neighbors.

Lovely park and great pictures, @joalvarez! I think those flowers in the water are yellow irises. I have never seen them grow in water before, but I believe that’s what they are. That park looks like a

What a great collection of activities, @zekepickleman! You have not only been keeping busy, but your activities are well-rounded with plenty of family time, keeping fit, gardening and having fun. It’s

Wow, what a frightening experience for Susan. I wonder if she would be joyful that the kidnapping was all a prank, or if she would be angry that she had been treated that way — probably thinking that she

I enjoyed your story, @lightpen. It reminds me of some of the unfortunate mistakes I made when I was young!

Thank you for sharing your story in The Ink Well, @marynn, and also for reading and commenting on stories by other community members. This helps our community to be strong! I liked how Mrs. Robinson encouraged

Well done, @mineopoly, @lordtimoty, @yuki-nee, @radenkusumo666, @restcity and @davidbright!

There are some absolutely wonderful recordings in this compilation. Well done, everyone!

I hear mushrooms grow well in manure!

Stunning photos, @sayago. I love the rich gold and sepia tones.

Wow, this is an epic story, @yuki-nee. Raymond certainly proves himself, and Dahlia shows that she is a force to contend with as well!

Wow, that was an epic story, @raymondpeter. In the future, please don't feature the death of children in stories in The Ink Well. Even rat children! (All of the animals are quite anthropomorphic in this

Well said! Being lets a person integrate with the natural world, instead of just seeing it from a window. And yeah, M&Ms will do the trick too!

Thank you, as always, for your lovely comment, @dswigle! Wow, Tim Hortons started as a little coffee shop? That's amazing. I actually have never been in one. We don't have them here in Minnesota. At least

They say you're supposed to walk along the trail banging on pots and pans to scare bears away. But what's the point of going on a peaceful hike if you have to make a big racket the whole time?? Ha ha.

Yes, I really think I want to do one some time. That's a great idea to start with a shorter one. I've always wanted to cruise to Alaska, but someplace tropical sounds good too. I understand there are people

Thank you, @itsostylish! I am so impressed with people who make new use of old things!

Thank you!
