and so it ends

oh what a time
what a warm and wonderous time
so sweet a shining moment in the sun
oh what a time
was there ever such a time
then suddenly it's done
the moment passes

nice strong light and shadows enhancing the great detail you caught in this minimalist image.

All done packing?

No- you won't be dried up. You're too creative to shrivel up. (o: Well done on another Flash of Red!

A great finish for your Flash of Red challenge. I love the strong side lighting that casts great shadow across the rough cement.

@summerfield After that we can all come to the Poconos and tackle my attic. @grammyn

Great work on texture!

wonderful shadow and choice to end your flash of color month. Twenty two months will fly by although it's going to seem forever. LOL

Beautiful b&w! And moving words. You will LOVE retirement, I suspect! Time will fly.
