Beggar's Bridge

As the snow melts from the mountain above, the creek behind my home swells preventing anyone from crossing to the other side. When I went down to the creek to check the height, I was totally surprised to see that someone had built a quaint bridge and placed it across the stream. I was inspired to paint it so I ran back to the house, grabbed my pastel box and even though the bridge was of dubious strength, I crossed to the other side to get the best view. After all, beggars can’t be choosers!
