Words for Wednesday

This meme was started by Delores a long time ago.  Computer issues led her to bow out for a while.  The meme was too much fun to let go, and now Words for Wednesday is provided by a number of people and has become a movable feast. 

Essentially the aim is to encourage us to write.  Each week we are given a choice of prompts: which can be words, phrases, music or an image.   What we do with those prompts is up to us:  a short story, prose, a song, a poem, or treating them with ignore...  We can use some or all of the prompts.  I have purloined borrowed an image which Lee gave us last month.  Thanks Lee.

Some of us put our creation in comments on the post, and others post on their own blog.  I would really like it if as many people as possible joined into this fun meme.  If you are posting on your own blog - let me know so that I, and other participants, can come along and applaud.

This month the prompts I will be providing the prompts here.  The prompts will be here next month too, but will be provided by Margaret Adamson and her friend Sue Fulton.  Her prompts will include photographs taken by her friend Bill.  

As always, I am hunting for more people to challenge us.  Delores, River and Granny Annie have volunteered, and I have an extra month of prompts from Margaret et al, but would like more.  If you are able to play please let me know in the comments (including which month would suit you best).

This week's prompts are:

1. miniature
2. nightfall
3. oval
4. perfect
5. quirky
6. rush

And/or

1. sudden
2. tenacious
3. under
4. violent
5. weak
6. yellow 

Have fun.

Sunday Selections #329

Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.
 
The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life.  The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent.  Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River.  Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.
 
Like River I usually run with a theme. This week I am (mostly) staying home.

Revelling in the clouds.

Which were very different to the ones looming over the Arboretum when we took a lunch trip there...

Those sullen, sodden clouds did give us welcome rain.  Which the garden and I loved.  Jazz didn't.

Winter is fast approaching but there are still things in bloom.  Some early, some late.

 And this year the Tree Dahlias flowered before the frost cut them down.  A rarity.  Some of them are nearly twelve feet tall and there are more flowers coming out each day.  We have lost some to the cockatoos, and some to wind, but we have blooms.  And the bees and I are happy.

 The colour-bond fence they are up against is six feet tall.

This is a race we rarely win.  Significant frosts are predicted for next week which will cut them down - but for the moment I am loving the display.

Words for Wednesday

This meme was started by Delores a long time ago.  Week after week she provided us with challenging prompts.    Computer issues led her to bow out for a while and I took over.  When Delores' absence looked like being more permanent I begged and cajoled for other volunteers to share providing the prompts, and Words for Wednesday became a movable feast.  Delores discontinued her blog for a while, but she has returned, and we are grateful..
