Tuesday Photo-Books

 

 

When I saw that this week's Wordsmith Studio Photo Prompt was Books, I knew exactly which book I would photograph.

 

The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is one of  my oldest and most read books. You can see the wear along the edges of the binding and evidence that the book has been opened and closed many times. There is even a bit of unraveling going on. Only one small panel of the dust jacket remains and it is missing a corner. I have turned it into a bookmark.

 

To read more about my adventures with Sherlock, see a previous post-Elementary, My Dear Poet.

 

Thanks to Rebecca Barray for this week's photo prompt. Take a picture of one or some of your books and post a link to the photo in the comments on the prompt post.

Tuesday Photos-Birds

 

 

Taking pictures of birds is a lot of fun so I was really excited when Rebecca Barray chose birds as this week's Wordsmith Studio Photo Prompt.

 

The above photo is one of my favorite pictures of a robin. I took it earlier this year.

 

Of course, we have plenty of crows around.

 



 

In my neighborhood, I know there is always one place I can find a bird if I need one.

 

 

 

 

Take some pictures of your favorite birds, and post a link to them in the comments on the prompt post.

Tuesday Photo-Pet Peeves

 

 

Let me tell you about sweet gum tree seed pods. They are very difficult to rake because they are covered in spikes, like the head of a mace from medieval times. Consequently, they do not move  through the grass easily.

 

You may think you got them all, but the first time you mow the lawn you find out differently. You either catch one with a mower blade or step on one and twist your ankle.

 

Lastly, you can't compost them because they decompose so slowly.

 

 

 

Obviously, this one has been around awhile. That's the point. It's still around!

 

 

What's your pet peeve? Take a picture of it then post a link in the comments on the Wordsmith Studio Photo Prompt blog post.

Tuesday Photo-One

 

 

This week's Wordsmith Studio Photo Prompt is One.  However, not just any "one" will do.

 

The prompt requires finding something that usually appears in multiples and zeroing in on just one. This photo is of a leaf on one of my shrubs. 

 

 

Thanks to Rebecca Barray for this prompt. Go to the prompt post and see her amazing photo of an individual snowflake.

Tuesday Photo-Broken

 

What do you think of when you think about breaking an egg?

 

Scrambled, Sunny-side up, Over easy?

 

Pancakes, Waffles, French Toast?

 

Cakes, Cookies, Pastries?

 

Or just Sunday Brunch!

 

What else can we break and then enjoy so much?

 

Thanks to Rebecca Barray for this week's Wordsmith Studio Photo Prompt.

 

Take a picture of something broken and put a link to it

 in the comments on the prompt page.
