RE: Quicksand: A Collage and Blog for LMAC #72

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

You retrieved a memory from your childhood and have the land looking like quicksand by the water. The children in your collage are naturally sad to lose their dog. They are standing apart , each in their own thoughts and grief.I’m not sure of the significant of the white children but thought maybe the innocence of youth.

I never thought about quicksand a danger on the moon or mars. I know my father used to warn us about it when we wandered around the fields and streams.

Great collage and you always leave food for thought A.G.

No one ever warned us, about anything :)) Except to stay out of trouble. My brother was the scout, the woodsman. I thought he was indestructible. If my brother said it was OK, then it was OK. I guess we were lucky

The children are white for two reason: one, I was trying to make them symbolic, not specific. So, even though two of them are me, you can't tell. Also, I wanted to suggest the somber, sort of ghost-like atmosphere that prevailed. The kids do look a little ghosty :)
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your experience up there in Canada. Thank you for your generosity!

Most welcome A.G. 🌺 I remember wishing I had an older brother,...mainly to help with the chores.:) Being the oldest I was the one who scouted out new areas to explore. My father was a forest ranger when I was younger and I often went with him. Trips with him were always fun and educational about nature.
