A Photo Is Worth A Thousand Words

Yesterday one of my ya-ya's (aka best friend since pre-stuffing the bra phase) sent me a link to We Love It. A great place to find inspiring photos that you can source on your blog. I'm still getting used to blogging, and I don't want anyone to think I'm a pirate, so her link and information were exceptionally helpful. While I was scrolling through the photos, losing myself in their imagined worlds, I couldn't help but ponder on how significant images are. How much they show and offer.

They're so important, that as a reader many of us choose our books based on the cover. Yes, yes, we all know that you can't judge a book by its cover, but that doesn't stop some of us from trying. The picture -- it sets the scene with a glance. When you linger, it takes you into a whole other stratosphere. Captivating. Invoking. Occasionally frightening. With a photo - we transport ourselves entirely, much like we do with a good book.

Here are a few images that had me holding my breath, dancing in my seat and stepping inside a new story:

Story, story, everywhere. And not a drop of rain.
