Obeliscolychny


obeliscolychny: a lighthouse

Ahh. I love the ocean. I've written so many poems about it, it's not even funny. This lovely picture is of the Point Arena lighthouse. It's one of the many in California. Actually, my family stayed there overnight once last summer. We stayed in one of the little itty bitty cabins you can barely see on the right of the lighthouse. It was so breathtaking. I miss living by the ocean :(


So, yup. Prompt: the ocean compelled her to... (so, base a story or poem off of that. or other type of creative writing. heck, make a scrap books page, if you want!)

Sacchariferous


sacchariferous: bearing sugar

Soo, yeah. I know sugar cubes aren't exactly sacchariferous, but they are made of sugar. Whenever I see the word 'sugar,' my "knee-jerk" reaction (as my mother would say) is candy. Then sugar cubes. These cubed pieces of sugar have flowers and fruit on them! I was amazed when I saw this. There are a few more pictures of these tea party treats here.

I'm sorry, but I don't really have a writing prompt today. I'm kind of preoccupied because I'm being badgered to clean(oops. I guess I wasn't actually straightening up the table...).

Holt


holt: a woody hill or grove

Isn't that pretty? The person who took that picture used something with infra-red to make the trees white. (Sorry, I'm not photography expert...sadly)

Doesn't it just look like the trees are covered in down feathers? Actually, speaking of feathers, we watched the show Wipeout last night. One of the things the contestants had to do was run on a spinning wheel in footie pajamas while jumping over a spinning bar with evil sheep on it while people threw feathers, pillows, and stuffed animals at them. (Yes, it was just as crazy as it sounds). All to get $50,000! I think that would be fun.

So, yea. Prompt: What would it be like to live in a world where ordinary things were extraordinarily colored? What would it change? Describe a scene in this world, paying close attention to the different things.
