Hi Tess--great photo! My piece was kind of whipped off and could use a bit of refinement--but I have a very crammed with not-such-nice-stuff day so wanted to get something done. And, of course, who could not be stimulated by the photo! It's just lovely. Thanks! K.
Such a wonderful photograph of an extraordinary love. Woodward and Newman balanced their successful careers and personal tragedies, still able to maintain their love for each other. I, too, have that special love in my life. I fell in love with my current husband when I was 16 and he was 17. After a lifetime of challenges we found each other again and are married to the love of our lives. I truly believe that once the soul is committed, it cannot be redirected. Thanks, Tess, for such a beautiful prompt this week. BTW, it has snowed here in the Pacific Northwest and the view out the front windows is breathtaking. Some snow shoeing is in order.
Hi Tess — I didn't have words of my own for today's prompt, so I borrowed some from the wonderful and beautiful Joanne Woodward, who knew more about it than any of us ever could.

I dunno, Tess. On some level, this photo is kinda creepy. Maybe it's the shoes....
ReplyDeleteLovely pic :)
ReplyDeleteRick, you know how much I love a dash of odd...

ReplyDeleteWrote the poem first, then noticed it was Woodward and Newman. What a lovely image. : )
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading everyone's take on the photo prompt.

Well, this is what I saw. Apologies to Paul and Joanne.

Tanks Tess..Such a beautiful photo of such an endearing love...
ReplyDeleteI revised The Room We Share for this...I hope it is acceptable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration! :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry for my poor entry but this image made me smile.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot, Tess! xxxj
ReplyDeleteI'm linked in--thanks for the cute photo of two of my favorite actors!
ReplyDeletegreetings from brussels
ReplyDeleteLove this photo of Newman and Woodward. Such a classy couple.
ReplyDeleteagainst the tide of most, i changed the photo but thanks for the prompt.xx kay
ReplyDeleteA second draft up on the Patteran Pages, suggested by rather than directly representative of the majestic couple in the classic pic!
ReplyDeleteI love this picture. Makes me think of the stolen moments with my husband between work and kids and the mundane-ness of life. Thanks. ♥
ReplyDeleteWell, it could so easily have been a modern fairytale . . . .
ReplyDeleteTess--I feel very lame(brained) as I did not realize it was Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, but thought it a more random picture! Agh!
ReplyDeleteI'm in a bit of a fog these days I'm afraid.

Interesting what comes to mind. Thanks for the prompt.
ReplyDeleteK., I like that you didn't recognize them! The prompt isn't necessarily about them specifically...
ReplyDeleteI had no idea who they were....but it is a lovely photo...thanks Tess!
ReplyDeleteNow that I know who they are, it's obvious. At first glance I saw Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck - Roman Holiday.
ReplyDeletei have published my poems folks...do give it a read
ReplyDeleteI initially looked at this like I'd been given a test paper written in a foreign language, but I've had a go.
ReplyDeleteThis spells fun to me! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteStrange and unexpected how imagination plays.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

It set me in a whirl! LOL
ReplyDeleteSorry Tess- 69 is a duff link!
ReplyDeleteI did know who it was but the prompt read to me as a kind of missing link formation! Hope it goes!
ReplyDeleteI like kisses!
ReplyDeleteGreat, fun photo. I'd love to know the occasion and the photographer, Tess.
ReplyDeleteClassic couple! Thanks, once again, for the inspiration.
ReplyDeletefun Tess hope you have a great Thanksgiving
ReplyDeleteI love Newman's remark about his fidelity to Woodward. "Why go out for a hamburger when there's steak at home?" Ahhhh . . that's nice!
ReplyDelete"Do you love me?" She asks...
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love!!!
ReplyDeleteTook a while to get my mind around this one. Another look at a kiss
ReplyDeleteI feel star-struck plum in love!Chiccoreal
ReplyDeleteloved this one...Have a loving and wonderful Thanksgiving
ReplyDeleteThis shot through me, the initiating part of it, at 6:45 a.m. in the car listening to Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 2.
ReplyDeleteGo figure.
It certainly is a fabulous picture. I'm up and I so wanted to call it "Love in Black and White' but I didn't!
ReplyDeletelinked my poem too....hope u guys like it...:)
ReplyDeleteI finally figured out how to copy the photo! It's a beauty and a great tribute to married love.
ReplyDeletedefinitely interesting.
