Pic and a Word Challenge

Last week we got straight to the Point. This week, let’s talk about America, or find something else to inspire you in this photograph of an uplifting and inspiring sign in front of the HI Portland Hawthorne Youth Hostel in Portland, Oregon, USA.

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 images
  • You may use my image in your post, or any image you have created
  • 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.

The previous challenge was: Point
Point Sur State Park, Point Sur Lighthouse, Pacific Coast Highway, Big Sur, California, United States of America
Challenge #215 ~ Point
The word for last week’s Pic and a Word Challenge #215 was Point, along with this Pacific Ocean sunset photograph of Point Sur and its lighthouse along the Pacific Coast Highway in Big Sur, California, USA.

Five bloggers got straight to the Point this week and posted six pointed entries. =) Thank you, everyone! (And good on ya, Sunshine’s Macro Monday!) ❤

Happy Creating!
