Baby Bear danced and jumped for joy as the walk started. “I want to see more butterflies!” Baby Bear said, gleefully. “Maybe you will, maybe you won’t,” his
Day nine of Inktober. The prompt is sun. After a long day of walking through the rain, jumping at the sound of the sharp thunder and diving to the ground at the sight of bolts of lightning, Baby Bear was tired. It was time for dinner, and the pumpkins looked delicious. But Baby Bear couldn’t
Today is day seven of Inktober and of the Ultimate Blogging Challenge. Today’s prompt is passport.
