Fiction/Flash/Poetry/CNF/Essays, Cat lover supreme (my cat, Lucie-Minou, can attest to this!)!
Thanks so much, David and HilLesha, for supporting my work and giving me a continuing place to submit writings. These, folks, are two different walks-of-life stories, in flash. #1 is an attempt to picture a woman's life very different from mine in another time, place, and culture. #2 is spy jokes.

Dear Dave, @davgar51.bsky.social, I've been working hard at all chores lately. Exhilarating and challenging but exhausting! Thanks very much for putting me onto the things you've put me onto; I'm trying to be equal to my life right now. I've been working a lot on X, on The Kyiv Independent.Best, VLB

On April 28, after crossing the suspended bridge, we visited the Punakha fortress. It is, I think, the prettiest fortress we visited during this trip. Some of the jacarandas were still in bloom, which didn't hurt either.
Punakha, Bhutan.

Look who I met!
We followed the simple rule of "If I don't bother you, you won't bother me" and I got some nice shots from every angle with both the cellphone and the telephoto lens before it decided to go back into the grass.

If this image (or alt text) is a portal for you, bring through a poem, flash, song lyric, another image. Or! Let each other's responses unbury your own.
The only rules are alt text & kindness. Let your newborn art bosk up the sky:

The images out of Rafah are beyond horrific. None of this will keep Israelis or Jews safe. It is simply revenge and pure bloodshed in the name of extending the occupation.
All so Netanyahu can stay in power. What a horror.
