About Wordless Wednesday
From the Host, Kdubs:
Many of you ask where this phenomena began, it was not with myself. Do not give me any credit. I simply just wanted to make a blogroll! I got the idea from Uisce, who on one wordless day snapped a pic from the phone and posted it. I saw his, joined in, and here we are . . . there are no rules with WW. Creativity and expression are your guide.
