Diary of a Writer there’s no easy explanation of why a picture touches a nerve, causes a shiver of recognition or repels. As soon as I reached this path with its deep green borders of gunnera, I knew I’d use it at some point.
The picture encapsulates that day’s visit in mid summer mist.
This picture perfectly addresses so many of the questions in the writer’s tool box. Who’s waiting? Why are they waiting. How long have they been waiting? What will the narrator find?

Will it inspire something for you? Come back and tell us.
