I’m beyond thrilled that the lovely Sue Vincent has revived her #writephoto prompt. Sue has a knack for taking photographs that contain stories, so it’s lovely that she feels able to share them once again. This week, her prompt is this atmospheric shot of a boulder guarding a pathway. I’ve been on a few journeysContinue reading “#writephoto – Guarded”

#Writephoto – Darkness
A few weeks ago I participated in Sue’s #writephoto prompt, and a story came to me of a darkness that swallowed whole settlements. When I saw this image, the story came back to me, and I realised there was another part I needed to tell. So here it is… This time, they were ready forContinue reading “#Writephoto – Darkness”
#writephoto – Vista
The path wasn’t much. Cut into the hillside, a pale ribbon of chalk against the green. But it represented everything. The wide landscape stretched before them, fading into a green haze. Summer lay rich upon the land, bees buzzing in the flowers, butterflies dancing among the long grasses. In the fields the crops ripened, blue-greenContinue reading “#writephoto – Vista”
Quiet #writephoto
For a moment, the world was quiet, like a breath inhaled. There was no hum of traffic, no roar of planes, no rumble of trains in the valley below. Instead there was birdsong, the buzzing of bees, and the breeze making music through the branches and long grasses. Water rippled, silver, clear for the firstContinue reading “Quiet #writephoto”
#writephoto Flight
Well, it’s definitely Thursday now! And with it comes Sue Vincent’s #writephoto challenge, one of my favourite bloggy writing prompts. This week, it’s another evocative picture… Flight We reach, soaring Wings wide against the storm that thunders Deep around us, rumbling in our hearts, Ruffling our feathers. Sometimes we catch an updraft, and float, theContinue reading “#writephoto Flight”
#writephoto – Beyond The Storm
Another lovely #writephoto prompt from Sue Vincent. Here’s my take on her image – and if you want to give the prompt a go, head over to her site and link your post to hers, or leave a link in the comments: ‘Storm’s a comin’’ Paras spat decisively before turning on his heel, leather bootsContinue reading “#writephoto – Beyond The Storm”
#writephoto – Horizon
Gosh, I haven’t done a #writephoto in ages! Not for lack of inspiration – Sue has a knack for capturing stories in her images, which is why it’s one of my favourite writing prompts – rather, a lack of time and brainpower. However, the fog is lifting, and this week’s photo sent me a story.Continue reading “#writephoto – Horizon”
#Writephoto – All That Remains
He came to me after dark, as night lay like soft velvet in the hollows of the hills. The fire burned low, his feathered cape laid over the chair shimmering iridescent blue as the birds stirred and gave their first sleepy chirps, my breath coming fast as he touched me andContinue reading “#Writephoto – All That Remains”
#writephoto – Fallen
I do enjoy Sue Vincent’s #writephoto prompt. Her photos are always so evocative, and sometimes the strangest story fragments come to me. This one is probably a bit odd, but then there are legends of standing stones that ‘walk.’ So, maybe they like to lie down for a rest, as well… ‘I don’t know aboutContinue reading “#writephoto – Fallen”
#writephoto Arch – Through The Window
It’s Thursday, and time for another #writephoto prompt, courtesy of Sue Vincent. This week’s photo brought a character to mind, and here he is: He liked to watch the world change. Today it was snowy, the little tree purged of leaves by winter, the land beyond carpeted white. Some days he saw green grass andContinue reading “#writephoto Arch – Through The Window”
