Words for Wednesday 18/6/2025

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, and mixing and matching is encouraged. 

 

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, which includes cheering on the other participants.  If you are posting on your own blog - let me know so that I, and other participants, can come along and applaud.  And huge thanks to those of you who come back, sometimes time after time to cheer other contributors on.

 

Huge thanks to David M. Gascoigne for providing the prompts last month. The prompts will be here again this month and are provided by Hilary Melton-Butcher . 

 

An additional prompt from Charlotte (MotherOwl) is to her colour of the month in your take on the prompts.  In honour of her yellow irises survivng the drought in her Frog pond, the colour of June is "Surviving Iris Yellow"

 

This week's prompts are:

• Tracts       
• Lego   
• Satirical    
• Covered     
• Breakup 

 

And/or

 

• Violin      
• Wheels 
• Informer       
• Bee     
• Mountains

 Have fun.

 

Sunday Selections #824

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. Huge thanks to Cie who gave me this wonderful Sunday Selections image. 

The meme was then continued by River at Drifting through life.  Sadly she has now stepped aside (though she will join us some weeks), and I have accepted the mantle.  

 

The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent.  Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to me. Sorry I still haven't succeeded in working out how to do a blog hop. Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.

 

 I usually run with a theme. This last week (and next week and the one after) has been busy with mostly medical appointments.  Sigh.

 

So just a few photos this week.

 

First some bad photos of the Strawberry Moon and a lovely pink but frosty dawn as I headed off to LL - my only non medical appointment for the week.

 

 

 I have often said that my city is packed with public art.  Due to the interminable work on our tram system one piece was moved out of the city to Lake Tuggeranong this week.

 

I like it's new position.

 

Here is  "Dream Lens for the Future," a sculpture by Keizo Ushio, in its new home on the Lake Tuggeranong foreshore. The sculptureframes the landscape through its circular form and allows for close-up interaction.
