Through the Eyes of Time - Wednesday March 31, 2010

       I know you're eager to get right down to it, but you might also want to give these participants a peek:

* Edgebreak *

katliin

* NightCometh *

* Confessions_of_a_Liberal *

* LilMisha *

Zeal4living

* peacenow *

* CatastrophicKitten *

       I tell you what, my loyal subjects, I'm feeling it today. The "o" word, and not the good one. No, I'm not really that old -- barely more than a quarter century, but this queen has still seen a fair amount in those years. I've been reading the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series (which is decent), and I don't know how those immortal powerhouses do it! I definitely have days where "Off with her head!" is my favorite line, so I can certainly understand when those gods start to behave a little badly. You mere mortals have trouble keeping up with things in your lifetime, imagine the stress of a few millennia! You finally upgrade your chariot to a beemer and suddenly everything else is obsolete, too! Eventually you find that you are also obsolete. But I'm getting a bit carried away here. You need a challenge!

       Fortunately it's time for our mid-month photo prompt! I do not know the original source of this month's picture, but I found it here, used in much the same way we're about to. Take a good look at it, though, let your imagination run wild, and come back to me with wonderful little works of art to share with the world. As always, you can write a poem, a short story, a song, a journal-type entry, include pictures... It's entirely up to you. You may take this in whatever direction you would like. Let's see what you can come up with!

       P.S. Gold stars will be given to anyone who participates and recommends this post!

hummmmm interesting picture.  Like always, I'll have to just look at the pic a few times and then all of a sudden it will jump into my head.  lol  nice choice.

Here is mine, your majesty.  The picture threw me for a moment though, it was quite an alien face.  Eyes on the side and such a flat bridged nose, then I realized it was just under half a human face, not an alien profile.

Hmm... This sounds like fun.  I'll have to see if I can't come up with something in the midst of all my other projects.  ^_^

       So it's a new month. March, if you can believe it. College students everywhere are hitting the gyms harder than ever to transform their keggers into six-packs for spring break and your Queen is sitting back with an appletini and enjoying the view. It's the time when those of us in the more temperate regions start to notice a shift in mother nature's moods: a little more sun, a little more warmth, and perhaps a little more green. We've also done a little redecorating around the palace -- do you like? We have Queen TastyCakes to thank for that. Yes, my subjects: the times, they are a-changing. So come gather 'round your Queen, forgive me for drenching you to the bone with Bob Dylan, and tell me how you could use a little change. Because it's time for:



       What sort of change could you use in your life? Change is often slow to come, if it comes at all -- just ask Mr. Obama, he knows all about that. But if you could change something, be it big or small (hopefully not that small), what would it be? How would you do it? How would the ripples of your change affect other things? And in the end, all things considered, would you be happy with those changes?

       You can write a poem, a short story, a song, a journal-type entry, include pictures. It's entirely up to you. You may take this in whatever direction you would like. Let's see what you can do!

Ten minutes? Heh. My biggest challenge with this challenge is to not be "too" honest. I have a problem with that. Okay, I will think this over. peace & good cheer
