A Turtle Vignette - Day 7

Today we wrote two vignettes about nature. A vignette is a snapshot of something. To create the snapshot, very descriptive words must be used. We did a practice vignette and this is what I wrote.

The river, clashing with the rocks, following the breeze of the wind, looks as if it vanishes in the horizon. It rests tranquilly but at the same time it pushes, rides, and erode the rocks. Splish-splash the water goes, as the fishes swim and the water curves. It moves like a snake, the scales glistening in the sun. The bear, stares at the water focused on one thing, fish.

This was about a river from a human perspective, taking in the scenery. My second vignette was about a turtle that decided to take a break in the middle of the pathway. 

The water is where I want to be. Slowly, I’m walking, one minute step at a time. I have enough time and I don’t want to be bothered. My claws scratching the pavement, please can I just be in the water. My tail drags along following me around. This is quite exhausting, maybe I should take a break. I can see the water, so close but so far away. I guess I will just have to wait here.
