CCC#43
Welcome to my weekly challenge—open to all—just for FUN, FUN, FUN
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
- An answering photo
- A cartoon
- A joke
- A caption
- An anecdote
- A short story (flash fiction)
- A poem
- A newly minted proverb, adage or saying
- An essay
- A song—the lyrics or the performance
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
- Your creative offering is indeed yours
- Your writing is kept to 150 words or less
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN.

GMail isn’t working. Temporary error. So it suggested I signed out, and signed in again. Alas, I then couldn’t sign in. I’ve been tearing out my hair for the past 2 hours! I’m signed in. But still no Gmail. Ho-hum.

I have gmail. Never used it though LOL They want my phone number to call and leave a verification number for my first send. LOL Still have no phone. Good Luck my friend
LikeLiked by 1 person
The number is just to verify it’s you, and not someone pretending to be.
But Gmail is down, and YouTube too. and I’ve had two hours of stress, so I’m going to submerge myself in a book, with chill music, and hope all is well in the morning
If things should resolve, I’ll send you that photo!

I have to tell you, Jen, things are really screwy with my computer. If I’m offline for a while you’ll know why. I think it has to do with google. I might have to change to Edge. That could mean the loss of all my email data. So I’m hoping I can resolve it

Oh I’m so sorry! I hope you can resolve things quicker than you think. I use google chrome. Is that what you were using? Get a yahoo account for mail. It’s been good for me for years!

This is such an intriguing photo! Great for a photo prompt challenge. I must admit to feeling a little stumped to begin with for this one. I could think of all sorts of things to write but none for Lyr. It took me a few minutes before the brain wave struck 🙂

I’d say that brain wave was brimming with inspiration.
We’d been caught in the rain. Half hour shower. And the wind was now blowing. So, time to dry the jackets and there just happened to be a handy gate. Then, restless, I thought, wow, this could make a good prompt. I don’t very often shot photos with that in mind.
