September break, summer photos

09/02/2016 By Ellen Beals 5 Comments

Going under  © Ellen Wade Beals, 2016Happy September! Labor Day weekend is here and summer is over.  Hope you have fun in store for you this holiday.

My writing groups are resuming and I have manuscripts due. Summer has provided me with lots of time to play and socialize but I haven’t been very diligent. So, I am taking a few weeks off–a staybbatical, so to speak.

I’ll be back September 23.  In the meantime, I am glad to report my rejection streak has come to an end, with an acceptance yesterday (more about that later).

Today I am sharing miscellaneous photos taken over the summer.  Do you have work (writing or visual art)  you’d like to share?  Send me an email — weighedwords at gmail.com.

Peace, love, and solace
