The exercise:
Write about: the after.
Well, I suppose the last two prompts wouldn't really be complete without my before and after. So here's the before, taken last Sunday:
And here's the after, taken last Wednesday (I wanted a picture after it had grown in a little... the one I took on Sunday was a little startling... though probably mostly for its newness):
I'd been thinking about doing it for weeks and it finally got to the point where I couldn't handle the length anymore. I've considered doing it in the past as well - probably coming closest when I was in Malta at the end of my six month backpacking trip to Europe. There was a guy staying at the hostel who had clippers and I'd just had my haircut and I wasn't happy with it.
I chickened out then, but not this time. Though, to be fair, I probably won't be seeing too many people in person before it grows all the way back.
Assuming I don't decide to just keep it this way...

The exercise:
Your prompt today: before and after.
I took some 'before' shots of the cabin today. Cleaning begins tomorrow, then hopefully the electricians will come this week and the plumber next week. I'll save the 'before' shots until I can also post the 'after' shots.
But, fear not! I still have pictures to share with you today! As mentioned previously, I wanted to show off the zoom on my camera. So first, we have the fully zoomed out picture:
This is the view we get every morning as we exit from the bottom floor on the way out to the garden. A row of monster sunflowers, the neighbour's vineyard, a slight glimpse of the lake. Not bad, really.
And here's the zoomed in as far as the camera will go shot:
That would be the cluster of sunflowers around the middle of the first picture. I've always wanted a camera with a good zoom on it... and I have to say it's as great as I expected it would be :)
Mine:
Before she arrived, he was a confident, capable man. The sort of fellow everyone in a small town turns to when they needed something done quickly and done right. His laugh was honest and infectious, his eyes full of a vitality that never seemed to wane.
After she left, he was like a bombed out building: devoid of all the joy, love, and laughter that had once brimmed within. At first folk still turned to him for help, but that didn't last past a handful of letdowns and harsh refusals. He wasn't seen around town much, outside the odd visit to the grocery store and the much more regular appearances at the liquor store.
I heard she's got her sights set on me next. I'm not worried though; her charms won't work on me. I'm too strong, too sure of who I am. She can't take that away from me.
