The long counter, where the children sat, was strewn with strawberry jam, powdered sugar, chocolate and an untouched single stack of napkins.
As each silver stool swiveled beneath them, it was obvious the kids were the quiet ones in an otherwise clamorous and caffeine fueled coffee shop.

I wouldn’t like to be there. Maybe I would run with the quiet kids to somewhere quiet and clean and play fairytale games.
I can’t help wondering what would be the photo to accompany this two sentences post…

I decided imagination would be better than a photo. Thank You so much for your comment treespirit11.

Your sentences are always a refreshing provocation to imagination, with or without photos 🙂
You’re very welcome, Edward.

Reading your two sentences is like opening a door which leads to a place – each place is like a vignette or a tableau where the reader is an observer or a participant – as if I have walked into a room and become part of the action or I am a fly on the wall, able to observe all the emotion and activity which surrounds me.
Your photos are lovely and your words bring so much to them – and when you write without an accompanying photo – your words stand alone beautifully and they allow our imaginations to take flight.

Wonderful visual. I am most impressed with writers that can paint a picture so clearly for the reader in only a few simple words. Well done.
