Tendrils 16: Then and Now

A selection of Tendrils from the past and the present.

            Hope loses its gray.
                Circles and cycles are here to stay.

Today's Tendril...

Warming up? thought the coach. More like winding down.

Last place has its detractors, both from the outside looking in and from the inside looking out.
