The (Red) Road to Nowhere


I sometimes wonder where a road finally ends after it reaches my destination.
Does it run out of steam climbing some steep mountain?
Get lost in a tangled forest?
Meet a crossroad in a place I'll never visit?
And what does it see along the way?
More in my next post.

The (Purple) Road to Nowhere


I'm so bored with roads that all look the same.
Wouldn't it be fun to ride byways dressed in different colors?
I'll give you some suggestions with my next posts.

The (Green) Road to Nowhere


Here's a grassy road that hides among the grasses.
Would you give in to curiosity and follow it even if its path took you in to deeply foreboding skies?
Or would the next post be more to your liking?

The (Orange) Road to Nowhere


In my imaginary travels, how do I make my roads of different hues?
With pastel wrapped in sticks of wax rubbed into paper till I can't bend color anymore.
One more post for now.

The (Blue) Road to Nowhere


I leave you here with a blue road into sunset.
But before I go, I want to hear what you have to say about my color roads to nowhere.
