Esther’s Writing Prompt – Window

For Esther’s challenge:

Writing Prompts

***

A Paradelle poem I wrote in 2015 …

HAUNTED HOUSE

Behold the haunted house

Behold the haunted house

Twisted black branches scrape frosty windows

Twisted black branches scrape frosty windows

Haunted branches scrape

Twisted black house, the frosty windows behold

*

Shutters flap in Autumn winds

Shutters flap in Autumn winds

Dry leaves go skittering by

Dry leaves go skittering by

Shutters in Autumn go skittering

Dry winds flap by leaves

*

Ghosts moan while chains rattle

Ghosts moan while chains rattle

Do you dare enter tonight

Do you dare enter tonight

Do you moan while Ghosts rattle chains

Tonight dare enter

*

Behold, frosty Ghosts, in chains, go skittering by windows

The twisted winds dare scrape you dry

Tonight black Autumn leaves rattle haunted branches

Do enter house, while shutters flap…moan

~

A bit of explanation about the pictures… This house is very old, and was moved from it’s original location. It is on the property of the Ranching Heritage Center, here in town. All types of original houses are here, to show the development of this area. This is one of the more modern ones. I’ve heard that it is haunted. People say that at certain times, you can see a lady (ghost?) standing at the upper windows. No one is allowed inside, but I love peering through the windows, as the houses are furnished with items from the era they were taken from.  The photo where I’m looking in…I was outside the house, pointing the camera at a mirrored dresser that was inside, catching my reflection.

Flower of the Day – Funny Monday

Flower of the Day – Funny Monday

***

Here’s a couple of funny/odd flowers.

The first is a sunny reflection I saw on the pavement of a parking lot. Looks like a shiny many petaled flower to  me.

Next is my solar moving flower. It’s yellow with an orange center and green leaves in a blue pot. Put in the sun it waves back and forth.

Feline Friday – Orion

Feline Friday

This is Orion, my daughter’s (and family) black cat. He is sitting in the front window behind the sheer curtains. His back is facing us, but I like how you can see his face reflected in the window.

This photo is one of a beautiful sunrise early one morning. The sun is shining through pink and gray clouds, with rays of light, and reflecting on the little playa lake by our house like a perfect spotlight. I took this from our back yard.

WARNING – SPIDER PHOTO AHEAD!

I think this spider liked looking at himself in the mirror! He stayed around for days, but I haven’t seen him lately.

Update…after a few days I saw him again, and managed to catch him. I released him out into the garage, so he could find a friend. 🙂

***

Here’s a little something I came up with for the cute little spider…

A spider named Spike

Seemed to like

His reflection, it’s plain to see…

Primping for a date

With a sweet little mate

He hopes they’ll be meant to be.

THIS ISN’T MONDAY?

THIS ISN’T MONDAY?

Well, I thought for sure today was Monday. I was even looking up songs with Monday in the title. At some point I finally realized today is Sunday. haha

I guess that’s what happens when I get up so early and not being quite awake while I’m drinking my coffee. So, I just played some games. Here’s a photo of the reflection of the game I was playing in the coffee. (Candy Crush Jelly)  I took the photo at 5 a. m. and had already been up  since 4:15, which is my usual morning. 🙂

Wishing you a beautiful Sunday!

MONTHLY SHAPE ADVENTURE – TEARDROP

MONTHLY SHAPE ADVENTURE – TEARDROP

https://owlwonder.com/2017/04/01/join-the-teardrop-shapeadventure/

***

This month we were to find things shaped like a teardrop. It wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be, so these are somewhat all over the place.

First is an original art piece I made quite a while ago. Next, I tried making these chocolate chip cookies into a teardrop shape. They look weird, but tasted good! 🙂

I like the next one…it was a reflection of something on the pavement in a parking lot. The next one is a bug. I don’t know what kind, but it was on our porch step. It’s kind of teardrop shaped, isn’t it? Last is some tulips, which I think are the right shape.

HANGING OFF THE EDGE – for DAILY PHOTO POST

HANGING OFF THE EDGE – for DAILY PHOTO POST

https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/edge/

***

At sunrise this morning I was out there taking photos, when I noticed something hanging from the edge of the roof. Getting closer, I saw the spider. He or she had a nice web, but it didn’t show up, but he/she was enjoying dangling there I guess. In the first photo you can just barely see the spider (a little dot). I thought the reflection in the window of the sunrise was pretty cool, too! 🙂 … This afternoon the spider was still there, so I got a closer photo of him. 🙂

NABLOPOMO – # 30 – LAST DAY-LOOK BACKhintergrund-719

Today’s post for NaBloPoMo # 30 is the last one of the challenge. I’ve had lots of fun coming up with something to write about and post on here. Some days were easier than others, but I’m happy to say I did finish. Congratulations to everyone who participated!

I’ve had the chance to read lots of your posts this month, and the only regret is not having had the time to read more. I still plan on visiting more of your blogs, as long as the list is still available.

A big thank you to everyone who took time to visit here, to comment, to follow, and for all the ‘likes’! Each one of you are appreciated so much. Thank you to the NaBloPoMo hosts, and to  Ra at Rarasaur for hosting the NanoPoblano team Peppers.

I hope everyone has gotten a bit of entertainment from reading what I posted this month. I know it was a pretty random mix of topics, from short fiction, poems, art, and music, along with my thoughts.

Next up, for my blog, is ??? I’ve been doing these month long challenges for quite a few months in a row. I do love them, and if I find another one that interests me, I’ll be on board again. Until then, I think I will take some time to re-do the way this place looks. After almost 2 years, I’m tired of the Pink! I love the theme, but I want to try out something new. So, when you visit here again (and I hope you will), don’t be surprised to see what crazy things I’m trying out. I hope to find something I’m happy with, going forward. Don’t hesitate to leave your thoughts on what you see. I just hope I don’t mess it up too bad 🙂

So, I’ll leave you today, with a high-five, and job well done, for everyone! Happy Writing!
