"Why are there so many lights, Mommy? And those sprays coming up from the lake, just like a fountain. But they're as tall as the buildings! And oooohhhh, the pretty smoke, it's like a rainbow!" marveled the small child.
"Shhhhhh!!! Just enjoy the laser and water show! The fireworks should start any second!" replied the young mother as she scooped her daughter into her arms. No sooner had she said this than the bright red machine across the pond sent forth a volley of blue fireworks, which cut through the mist and light like shooting stars.
Once it was all over, the smiling young lady looked down at her daughter. "Susannah, this was to celebrate our first true spring in fifty years! Usually the rains come much later. Really smart people have said that this will be the first spring in my lifetime, but if we treat the Earth with kindness, there will be many more. I hope you will remember this day when you grow up, and tell your children about it."
The child simply looked at her and smiled, not really understanding the significance of the event.

Wow, just wow! Those are fractals? Pretty amazing what you have done here buddy. The layers create pops of colour reminiscent of Spring flowers hiding beneath the dry blanket of lifeless grasses. Pretty deep little narrative you have accompanying an exquisite art form. How sad that the little girl is experiencing this beauty for the first time in her life. I am sorry I have not been around for a while. Life off chain got a little hectic and I had a forced break which caused me some frustration. I am hoping to get back into things now and start back in the Inkwell again. Managed to do the zapfic to start the creative juices flowing again 🤣 I guess life throws us curveballs at the best of times. I thought I would pop in and see how the people I follow have been doing though and say hi again. Great job on this post though. Kudos.
Thanks so much!!! I did put a lot of work into that :) I'm glad things are getting better 🙌 I hope to see your next post soon, please tag me?
You can tell! It's really great. The artwork compliments the writing and vice versa...it is hard to tell what is taking centre stage 😊.
And thanks for the kind words... they are... priorities sorted. I eased into writing again today with a zapfic. I'm kinda pleased with it...although I'll be happier when I write in the Inkwell again...waiting for the next prompt to drop on Monday.
... mmm ok so today's post to get me going again was a zapfic because I wanted to get something creative out there and get engaging again as I've missed the people here... I'll tag you anyway, as your input would be appreciated... thanks! it's only 50 words though lol. I enjoy micro fiction but short stories are my preference...
Ok :) You do know there's time to do the prompt Blossom too?
!PIZZA !ALIVE !LOL !LUV

Really? 👀 but when will I sleep and work? 😝 thanks for the heads up... I will see if I can take a look at it after work tomorrow and find some inspiration, if not... Monday night's prompt will be next on my list. Thanks again. I appreciate your kindness and diligence.
All good, it's just nice to see you back 🙌 Hopefully to stay!!!
That is certainly the plan!🙌
Hi, warmly welcome to the collaging lovers 🥰 I think it's gonna get an even nicer place to be with your stories to tell. Beautiful fractals, you should consider adding them to the gallery. Pretty cool. Love the story
Thank you so much for your kindness :) I will add some fractals to the gallery soon ♥️
