I think I am linking to a site that posts a photo each week for you to match with a 100 word story of your own composing. I thought that sounded like fun. http://madisonwoods.wordpress.com/2012/06/13/photo-prompt-for-100-word-flash-fridayfictioneers-34/ I’m technically challenged so I don’t know if I’m doing this right but here my story for this week.
Quiet
I was sure I saw a flicker of movement just there where the path disappears into the woods. It’s quiet, a distant bird song and the steady clicking of some courting insect is all the sound in the world. Those two teen boys claimed to have seen Sasquatch here just two days ago. I don’t believe it but they said it left tracks in the mud near that stream about half mile into the woods. Just some boys wanting attention but I was sent to get a picture so I’ll get a picture. Just wish is wasn’t so quiet.
Silence can be either golden or eerie, nicely done on making the ambiance in the background. I wonder if he runs into Sasquatch.

Yes, so do I. We’ll probably never know.

Hello 🙂
FYI: Your link in that new link site links back to Madison’s post, not your own—you may want to update it 🙂
I really enjoyed some of the imagery you used: “flicker of movement,” “a distant bird song,” “the steady clicking” of the courting insect. I would suggest double-checking spelling (disappears, not disappeares) before posting. I loved that Sasquatch got in on things — it would have been really cool to see what happened when the photographer actually caught up with him!

Thank you, Stacy, you’re very kind. I do rely on spell-checker too much. I appreciate your comments.

This is a good first effort, Hazel … you’ve laid the groundwork for a potentially interesting story with this snapshot description; great setting and mood, hint of a plot, and a fairly well-established voice. All in a few words. You’ve already commented on mine, but others can find it over at http://scottcheck.blogspot.com/2012/06/no-escape.html

Bigfoot is likely walking along just out of sight within the nearby trees, watching.

Doing some backtracking here. Welcome to a great community of writers, Hazel. Your last line tells us that this photographer might be about to become a believer.
Here’s mine for that photo prompt: http://www.rochelle-wisoff.blogspot.com/2012/06/mothers-gift.html
