Good day, and welcome to this week’s edition of NTT.

My sincerest thanks to everyone for another fantastic edition last week. You never cease to amaze me with your talents. It truly is an honor to see your words paired with these humble images. You truly bring them to life.

Thank you.

With that, I will dispense with any more talk and get to this week’s selection.

If possible, please try to have your posts up by Tuesday evening, 08/13/24. Please include a pingback or leave a link in the comments section.

    This week, there will be a follow up post. The first will be published on Sunday at the usual time, the next one, that I already scheduled, goes live on Tuesday.

    Somehow I always feel that you’re psychic in some of the choices of photos we get with this blogging challenge. Thank you for that โค๏ธ. I found yet another extremely suitable image that you would not believe.

    Still the subject is sensitive so I don’t reveal much, but thanks anyways โค๏ธ.

    In the desert
    ๏ฟผ

    the desertโ€™s embrace, where shadows grow long,
    A sunset ignites, painting skies with its song.
    Joshua trees stretch, their silhouettes bold,
    Guardians of twilight, in hues of red gold.

    The horizon, ablaze, with colors that blend,
    A canvas of twilight where day starts to end.
    Soft whispers of sand in the cooling night air,
    As the desert reveals its serene, timeless flair.

    Each tree, a lone sentinel, stands proud and tall,
    Their branches like fingers that reach for the sky.
    In the hush of the dusk, where the light starts to fall,
    The desertโ€™s vast beauty inspires
