You’ve done a marvelous job of combining a visual image with your words. They do, indeed, tell a story! Hopefully some of that grass will sprout before the birds eat it all.
I love your simple stories:) I think the fewer words you use the harder it is to communicate your meaning. I love how the bird feast follows the grass seed and I imagine you are watching them from your chair – while reading one of the copies of your new book perhaps?
I want a chair for my son’s bedroom-turned-office-for-mom-room. (I guess that is one of the benefits to an empty nest!) I think I would like swivel and rock!
This is different and I like different. I really like how you incorporated the text inside of the photographs. Gave it more life, if that makes sense. It’s almost like a visual poem of sorts. It’s right there for the reader but still I had to imagine it in my head. Well done with it!
Not my husband’s plan. He looked out and wondered why we had so many birds pecking at the ground. I had to remind him what was laying there for the taking. 🙂
I like the pictures and words in combination with each other. On the one hand, it’s lovely to watch the birds. On the other hand, that’s not really the purpose of the grass seed, right?
Brilliantly written. Photo charm. Mentor text. 😊
Love that !
I love that chair!!!!
The photos tell a great story, your words are poems to highlight them.

A nice seat and a nicer view! 🙂
Sometimes less is more. Great slice!
Very well done! Saying so much with so few words….you did it just right. 🙂 ~JudyK
So dfferent from a traditional slice, yet as powerful in giving us a glimpse of your day and the emotion it carries.
Very creative! You always have a way with pictures and words.
Thanks, Erin! I try. 🙂
You prove that six words can tell a story if they are the right six words.

You have interpreted my words and pictures perfectly. 🙂
Simple stories, simple pleasures!

Watch and wonder. Will grass grow?
We need some rain and warmth to make that seed sprout. It better hurry or the birds will consume it all.

Thanks, it was fun to play with the font style and color. I guess it’s my attempt at a double six word story.
Love the photo essay/commentary here. Very clever! And yes, part of the reason we spread grass seed is to feed the birds….isn’t it?

We are hoping the grass seed will begin to sprout before it is devoured.
