An FMNDDTeam Tall Tale
Somewhat like improv, the FMNDDTEAM has built a story in words and pictures based on the previous person’s post. Enjoy the story and the grand diversity of treasures presented here
The winds came up and the sailboats were tossed on the stormy sea as the men held fast to the lines. Suddenly a barrel fell overboard and floated away only to come to rest on a distant beach.

The winds came up and the sailboats were tossed on the stormy sea as the men held fast to the lines. Suddenly a barrel fell overboard and floated away only to come to rest on a distant beach.
The barrel was found years later by an intrepid explorer and he opened the barrel with wonder - What treasure was held inside the mysterious cask?
The lid came off, the explorer looked down and beheld...ocean water. :o) And a beautiful water blue blanket

After searching every nook and cranny, he realized the barrel had floated all the way from France and had started to fill with ocean shells..

There in a corner of the barrel was a bird nest with eggs and the two parent birds. They thought this an easier way to go back to the South for the winter
Next to the nest, the explorer picked up a beautiful piece of green sea glass
What other treasures were inside he muttered quietly to himself. Looking again into the barrel he noticed some bits of wood and leaves and even acorns

In the breeze something at the bottom of the barrel fluttered and as he reached in, several spiders scurried up and out to freedom. Ah, a picture of perhaps the owner of the barrel or a distant sweetheart. He plucked the picture from the barrel and wrapped the ladies scarf around his neck; it still bore her sweet perfume

The explorer checked his pockets for a pencil and some note cards thinking it best to commit the memory of his wonderful discovery to paper.
Perhaps some day his story would be published for all to read he thought. .
