The sun was just dipping below the sharp horizon, casting a golden glow on the waters edge. Birds rustled the trees and sang their last good-byes to the day. She slowely closed her eyes and felt the cool water trees brush her check taking with it the grim of the day.Sugoihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463520930971145446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-15225401057157236112009-03-02T10:29:00.000-07:002009-03-02T10:29:00.000-07:00Candi-oooo I really like this description.

I decided to use it for this post, so at least it will serve some purpose. <BR/><BR/>Blaik turned off the lights as he pulled in to the long drive that lead to the house. Andi looked out her window; the night was still and clear. Trees lined each side of the road, and she was hypnotized by the tall, straight trunks passing rhythmically by her window. Without the illumination of the headlights the colors of the night changed. Everything shared the same gray blue tint with varying shades of darkness. She felt herself slipping into a dream world, lulled into a trance by the striking, monochromatic scene.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-42537929778463858202009-03-02T07:48:00.000-07:002009-03-02T07:48:00.000-07:00Kasie-I love the scene.

It's so much more dynamic to use nature to describe a feeling!<BR/><BR/>Pink Ink-I love the description of the smell of horses. I love the way the sun pours it's kindness down. Personification works so well.<BR/><BR/>Jenni-I love the ocean too. I lived on the west coast during high school. The beach was a really happy place for me. But I would hold off on going to Mexico anytime soon!! The border towns are at war right now!Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16328973674012805812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-10841189489222537172009-03-02T07:11:00.000-07:002009-03-02T07:11:00.000-07:00My love is the ocean.. probably because I spent so...My love is the ocean.. probably because I spent so many vacations in Mexico as a child. The nice warm, deliciously decatant ocean! <BR/><BR/>I love the blissful ocean breezes and the sound of waves lazily lapping onto sandy beaches--breaking over multiple muscle-strewn craggy rocks. How I miss Mexico! I'm so glad I'm moving back to the states! Everyone needs the slower, longer, peaceful days of Mexican shores.Jenni Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14340454147439103595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-27284450631011539672009-03-02T06:59:00.000-07:002009-03-02T06:59:00.000-07:00I love going out and really looking at landscape, ...I love going out and really looking at landscape, even in the winter. I especially love a sunny winter day working around horses.<BR/><BR/>What I remember: Cool, brisk air, the warmth and wooly softness of a horse's mane and winter coat, the sun pouring its kindness on me and warming me to the very core.Jewel Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09614039445924074306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-40179943269850203332009-03-01T11:16:00.000-07:002009-03-01T11:16:00.000-07:00This is a little section from a project I put asid...This is a little section from a project I put aside. This girl hates winter. I know your assignment was to describe the wonders of nature and I think it does. Even thought the MC doesn't appreciate it, I think it shows the wonders of winter.<BR/><BR/>The mountains, normally dark and vibrant, were a shadow of themselves, whitewashed, blending into the winter sky. Actually, everything blended, the snow on the ground, nearly too bright to look at, blended straight into the snow covered mountains, which blurred into the low hanging clouds. Her mood, like her surroundings, was colorless as well.Kasie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169629001145903361noreply@blogger.com
