Crimson’s Creative Challenge #67

Posted on February 19, 2020 by crispina kemp

CCC#67

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.

Tunstall Dyke Smock Mill, built ca. 1900, restored in 1994

    Hmmmm . . . doesn’t seem to be a stream nearby, and I see no vanes to catch the wind. What power did the mill run on?

    Grist for the Mill! 😊😎 Maybe the ladies would like to take a visit. Although they’ve been awefully tired lately. I’ll see if I can get the going!

    I used a little double exposure in this weeks entry. The combination may have stirred up a less abridged version as well.. Have to wait and see….
    Gorgeous photo. When I did venture into photography, old farm buildings were always a favorite….

      I pass this mill everytime I’m in and out of Norwich. I was curious; it stands together with another. But the only way for me to reach it was a six mile round walk, and the day I chose was thick with marsh mist! Oh, but it was worth.
      Yea, me too, I love old farm buildings, whether in working order or a state of decay. Farm machinery too, all bright in the sun, or rusted and forgotten, and overrun.
