Six Word Photo Story Summer Challenge

Spider said, “Too wet to stay.”

In my humble opinion, I believe there are more hiking trails in Germany than there are castles, which is saying a lot. Braving the natural elements on a foggy day, our family decided to do a little bit of hiking in the forest. That is where I encountered the raindrops in a spiderweb, but no spider anywhere.

I’m taking part in the “6-Word Photo Story Summer Challenge” created by Mary Chang Story Writer. Below is more information about the participants and the challenge.

Some of the writers participating include Susan Alison, Cindy Shore Smith, Barbara Dalton, Melanie J., Sherry Kappel, Karen Schwartz, Penny Grubb, Dennett, Rubaiyat Rahman, pockett dessert, Susan Foster, and Jaylee Reign.
