My Nature Photography Blog & Creative Writing Challenge ✍️

It has been a bit difficult to find some nice photos of my local lake today as it has been so rainy lately. As it often is in England where I live. However, I hate to be defeated so here are some cool flowers, leaves (catkins) that I would love to share with you Nature loving Steemians...

My "99 Word" writing challenge using Merriam Webster's "Word of the Day" **Penultimate** for December 30th

# My story begins... [ word count 99 ]

Tomorrow is the very last day of this "Creative Writing" Challenge organised by the Apostrophe POD. So Today is our **Penultimate** opportunity to enter into this current challenge, kind of sad in a way. What will replace this challenge in 2020? Only Meredith knows the answer to that question. Personally I hope that the "99 Word" requirement continues, as there are so few PODs that focus solely on the "writing community". Poetry and Prose are well supported on other PODS already. We really need these important DAILY Contests to keep our activity and interaction continuing into the New Year 🤔
