The guardian of the forest // A Post Story
This was her domain.
She was a guardian. Without her, the forest wouldn't grow. Without the forest her people would perish. The guardians kept everything in perfect harmony. They defended the forest when needed, but most of the time they tended to it like a giant garden.
She knelt down to pick up the giant seed.
"Oh hello." She said. "We need to put you somewhere safe."
She carefully selected a patch of land with an opening in the canopy above to let the sunlight in. Digging a small hole she gently placed the seed inside and recovered it.
"Let's give you a head start."
She held her hand above the small mound of dirt and whispered.
"You and I are one. Our one will grow." The ground trembled softly and small shoot of green popped out of the ground. She carefully brushed the dirt away and let the small plant find the sun.
Once finished she climbed to the top of a large rock to get a better look at her domain. And then she smelled it.
"Fire." She whispered.
These are fantastic posts, every time I run across one of your "post stories" I just love it. Proof that less is more in many cases :) I love the way you always leave the reader hooked at the end. This picture of a pinecone is a work of art as well, the way the light paints over the individual scales is breathtaking and the bokeh is fantastic, the out of focus tree is the perfect backdrop. Top notch!
Much love - Carl
Thanks Carl. I’m glad you enjoy reading. I really enjoy writing them it’s a fun exercise
It is inevitable to read the story and do not go back to see the photo, I always say that every capture has a story ... great details !!!
Thank you!
Such a sweet story, and then the conflict kicks in at the very end! Well woven, friend.
I wasn’t sure where this one would go :)
Nice lil story and excellent photos :)
Thank you much!
Dat pinecone doe.
Nicely written! I like this one! It made me think of the Of Monsters and Men song "Dirty Paws." Not a perfect story match but it started playing in my head nonetheless :) Cheers!
Thanks! Yeah those pine cones are massive. We were in a park so I couldn’t take one ;)
