Illustration Friday - Momentum


The topic momentum challenged me. I thought of the time of year and nature. I have lived in the desert most of my life and spend a lot of time outside exploring. The wind blows regularly and we see many tumbleweeds rolling their way across the desert. They are very light and prickly and tend to float in the wind. Sometimes when there is a strong windstorm at night they will all be piled up next to a fence all stuck together, piled high like a pyramid.

I was all excited when I saw my first tumbleweed--had read about them as a child and couldn't believe they were real.

I also was a little nervous about "momentum" as a prompt when I first saw it, but it's turned out to be a good one. You've really captured the movement of a windy day here.

And thanks for your comment on my post!

This tumbleweed story reminds me of a story I wrote in my creative writing class in 1976. I still have it. I thought it was quite good.
