Green Escape

Climb to the light.
That's the mantra to be followed in this scene.
Sometimes, taking the easy way out doesn't get you the rewards that you are seeking. Then again, I hear of some that have plopped down a few bucks, at a local convenience store, playing the lottery and are set for life. I don't play poker. I don't play the weekly big tickets. I don't enjoy a good gamble. However, one or twice, when the pot looms the largest, I'll throw a buck here or there. I don't expect to walk away with anything, but it makes me feel a bit better in some strange way.
Most make their way down an escape to safety.
Today, I'm climbing to daylight.
I might pass you on my way up.

  1. I'm totally with you on the gambling thoughts. I don't enjoy gambling at all and I can't remember the last time I bought a lottery ticket.

  5. Studies of lottery winners show their lives often fall apart. They can't handle great wealth. I'm willing to give it a try however.

  7. I buy 1 ticket a week and we don't pay any taxes on the winnings so if you win you win it all!

  8. If you don't buy a ticket, you can't win!! I, too, would like to give it a try.

  9. I don't gamble, EXCEPT that when the Powerball or MegaMillions pot gets huge, I often buy $5 or so worth of tickets. I don't consider that to be gambling. It is an investment in stimulating my imagination. "If I win, shall I buy or rent a place in Paris? What about San Francisco? No . . . maybe Lake Como." Well worth $5.

  11. Nice shot. I'll take a chance once and a while. I look at it as a donation for the next millionaire.

  12. Someone said that government lotteries are a tax on the stupid. Better to be a heliotrope, as your photo nicely illustrates.
