Aqua and Azure ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #134

Last week we navigated the darkness with Light. This week? A bit of a change-up.

Two colours dominate this scene, green and blue, and two shades of them have a particular allure for me both visually and lyrically. Unable to choose between them, I offer you both. So, this week, let’s paint images and words with Aqua or Azure — your pick. (Extra style points for those who weave both in. 😉 ) Or, as always, you can find something else to inspire your creativity in this photograph of a gorgeous day on Chesterman Beach in Tofino, British Columbia, Canada.

The Pic and a Word Challenge is a weekly creativity prompt offered Sundays.

Each week I provide a photograph of mine along with a single word. The challenge? Use the pic and/or word as points of inspiration to create something — a photograph, a painting, prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, longread or just a few words. You are welcome to use these two elements (photograph and word) literally, thematically or metaphorically. If you create both images and words, all the better.

To participate:

• Use any title you like
• Your response can be words and/or an image
• You may use my image in your post, or any image you have created
• Place the challenge’s Pic (if you use it for inspiration) and Word prominently in your post
• Mention that you are responding to the Pic and a Word Challenge
• Add a link to this post in your response

To help us find your response — whether on WordPress, Instagram, Flicker, Tumblr, etc. — you can also:

• Add a comment on this post to announce your response
• Apply the tag/hashtag “Pic and a Word Challenge” or “#picandawordchallenge” to your post

Each week, I’ll list the previous week’s responses at the end of the new challenge. I may also share some on my social media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, etc.
