Here in New England, the evenings are getting colder and the trees are donning their "technicolor dream-coats."

My favorite season is here. I wanted to select a prompt for our #WordCountIrregulars that would show the transition

And as you know, the theme this year is Landscapes.

Maria Haskins – "Becca and the River"

Where Giants Walk

A lovely follow-up show to our LIVE show last month is in store for you, dear listener! I lived in the Republic of Ireland for five or so years back in the late nineties, early aughts. While a wonderful experience in of itself, my favorite bit about living in Europe was the amount of travel I got to do.

As you know, the theme this year is Landscapes.

This is a shot of the famous 'Giant's causeway' in Northern Ireland--those six counties still owned by the British:
