Painters, Sketchers, Photographers have an Eye for Obvious Profundity
There are two communities here at Vocal that appeal to me that I haven't submitted to yet: Art and Photography. Now with this submission, I've got one in Art. Yet for my "image" I've used a photograph that I took. Why not a painting or a sketch? Would that have been better? I decided to go with this photograph because I haven't shared this photograph yet, while most of my paintings and sketches have been shared online because once I'm finished painting or sketching, I'm quick to share it out of pride for the creation. Do you like the photograph above? Why or why not? I wish you would comment on it. I can tell you more about it. I took the shot at a weird angle as you can notice. Why? It was the only way to get the Palm tree and the hammock inside the frame and I felt that the message I wanted to convey with the photograph made it essential that both the tree and hammock were shown. Does that change your impression of the photo - knowing why I angled it that way?

The Golden Secret of Yellow Bananas. AI-Generated.
In the sleepy village of Greenvale, young Timmy hated fruits. "They're sour and yucky!" he'd whine, tossing apples aside. His grandma, wise old Nana Rose, smiled knowingly. One sunny morning, she handed him a bright yellow banana. "Eat this, Timmy. It's nature's golden treasure." Timmy peeled it suspiciously but took a bite. "Mmm! Sweet!" From that day, he munched yellow bananas daily. Soon, wonders unfolded. First, Timmy's endless sniffles vanished. "Bananas have vitamin C," Nana explained. "They fight colds like superheroes!" Timmy played outside without tissues. Next, during soccer, Timmy sprinted faster than ever. "Potassium in bananas keeps your muscles strong and crampsy," Nana said. No more crampsâTimmy scored the winning goal! At school, Timmy aced math tests. "Bananas boost brain power with vitamin B6," Nana winked. Timmy felt sharp and happy, his mood sunny like the fruit. One evening, Timmy hugged Nana. "Yellow bananas are magic!" Nana laughed. "They're packed with fiber for digestion, antioxidants for health, and energy without crashes. Nature's perfect snack!"
