Catfish Dreams - Friday Flash 55
A
turtle breaks the surface of the pond with his ancient head and swims
silently along the bank. The water level is up. He leaves a wake. Catfish
float on the bottom, dreaming of summer. The turtle suddenly dives with a flip of his tail. Overhead a young eagle soars across the water looking for
food.

Yvonne....
Spoken like a Michiganian.
But in a Osbornian way....
Loved your lazy day 55.
Whats better than a Michigan Summer?
Nuthin!
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Wek-End
Ah, the way of the world - lazing and surviving.
I've been having trouble posting comments this morning. I'll try later.
I visualize the turtles I saw in the Galapagos, but suspect this one might be more food-sized.
Yvonne
Love the feel of this piece unaffected by man
Happy weekend
I love this! So serene. Are you given a topic or picture to go on?
(Re comments, Blogger has been playing up all day. I could say things to Blogger - things I'd probably regret - if only it were possible...)
Beautifully measured prose.
Thanks G-Man. Dreaming of summer and now it's snowing!
Anthony,
Thank you. Trying to survive this crazy world as you well know.
Alice,
I've never been to the Galapagos but I bet the turtles are huge. Thanks.
Leslie,
Thank you so much.
Frances,
Thank you! G-Man does post his first but I've never taken it as a prompt we'd have to follow. As long as you can tell a story in 55 words, I don't think he cares what the subject is.
Blogger is behaving better now so I guess I won't have to report him!
Very nice nature story...I wish I live near the sea ~
Beautiful. I like the juxtaposition of the catfish floating on the bottom (even though I don't like fish).
Heaven,
I do too! But the pond is nice. Thanks for dropping me a line.
Mija,
Thank you so much. I like it that you noticed that.
Lovely look at nature doing what nature does best when left alone :)
It Is a fun exercise. Good job. K.
Turtles are quick! I've TRIED to capture them at the water's edge many a time. This is a beautiful write and I love the image of the eagle soaring at the end, having just missed the turtle.
Sooooo beautifully descriptive, Yvonne. I was swept away by the whole scene.
Daydreamer,
Thanks. If only we could leave her alone.
K.,
It is. Thanks!
Margaret,
Yes, I couldn't believe how fast that one disappeared. Thank you so much.
Lydia,
Thank you! I decided to try and write something simple about two of my favorite things: turtles and eagles.
This sounds like fun. I should try.
I can see the fun you have with it
Pet,
You definitely should. You'll be amazed at how much you can say with 55 words.
Love your 55s! Beautiful imagery :)
I love it, Yvonne. Anything with animals.
Jemi,
Thank you. Your continuing support means a lot.
Diane,
Hi! Thank you so much. They are pretty special.
Thanks for the visit, Yvonne.
Thank you for coming here and thanks for the recipe.
