WriteOut Daily Create Getting Lost

Daily Create Getting Lost Mule Deer for WriteOut

on Flickr DAILY CREATE Today’s WriteOut Daily Create is to write, draw, whatever about “Getting Lost.” [ #clmooc #DS106  @ds106dc   #tdc3935 #writeout  We came across these mule deer near Fiddle Creek and Cole Park in April, 2022.

Daily Create WriteOut Cracks

#clmooc #smallpoem Ponderosa Pine

on Flickr Today’s Daily Create WriteOut prompt [#clmooc #DS106  @ds106dc   #tdc3931 #writeout ] is to find a plant that’s popped up through the cracks of pavement or rock.
