Half-Light
Future
“You will be fine,’ the fortune teller says. ‘There may be decisions to make and surprises in store. Life takes us to unexpected places sometimes. The future is never set in stone, remember that.” – Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus
Dinnertime
“You can’t possibly ask me to go without having some dinner. It’s absurd. I never go without my dinner.”
-Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest
Face
Jubilant
“Joy is to fun what the deep sea is to a puddle. It’s a feeling inside that can hardly be contained.”

Numbers
“In this world one must have a name; it prevents confusion, even when it does not establish identity. Some, though, are known by numbers, which also seem inadequate distinctions.”
― Ambrose Bierce
Pure
Curve
“Beauty: it curves, curves are beauty. Shapely goddesses, Venus, Juno: curves the world admires.”
James Joyce, Ulysses
Partners
Opposites
Where the man-made pool meets the magnificent sea…
“As different as a moonbeam from lightning, or frost from fire.”
― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
Look Up
Cherry On Top
I’m a little late but here’s my macabre response to this week’s theme.
“I never see that prettiest thing-
A cherry bough gone white with Spring-
But what I think, “How gay ‘twould be
To hang me from a flowering tree.”
– Dorothy Parker, Collected Poems
Narrow
Morning
Fun!
Aaand here’s my macabre response to FUN…
“So, have a little fun. Soon enough you’ll be dead and burning in Hell with the rest of your family.” – George Carlin, Brain Droppings
Rare
Frame
Edge
“Beyond the edge of the world there’s a space where emptiness and substance neatly overlap, where past and future form a continuous, endless loop. And, hovering about, there are signs no one has ever read, chords no one has ever heard.” – Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
A Good Match
Everyone, meet Peachy and Jack…
“He rises to his feet and pulls me up to stand beside him. My chin comes to his shoulder, we are both dainty, long-limbed, coltish: well-matched. I turn my face into his jacket. ‘Will you marry me?’ he whispers.
‘Yes,’ I say.”
-Philippa Gregory, The Kingmaker’s Daughter
