Sundown ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #351

Prairie Sunset, Highway 555, Bindloss, Alberta, Canada

Prairie sundown
Raises me up

The peace of a gentle end
Subdues the day’s winds
To scattered breezes
Playing in tall grass
Painted ambient amber

I breathe in
With a rush like the wind
Then out as a breeze
While the brazen sky
Sings the final notes
Of its golden lullaby

Prairie Sundown
Just off Highway 555
Bindloss
Alberta, Canada

Pic and a Word Challenge

Last time we made ourselves giddy with  Spin.

This time let’s breathe in the peace of a Sundown. Or seek something else to inspire you in this photograph of a prairie sunset in Bindloss, Alberta, Canada.

The Pic and a Word Challenge is a (usually) weekly creativity prompt (usually) offered Mondays.

With each challenge I provide a photograph of mine along with a single word. The challenge? Use the pic and/or word as  inspiration to create something — a photograph, a painting, video, 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 to illustrate your post, or any images 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 challenge’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: Spin

Spin, Middle Head Trail, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Nova Scotia, Canada
Challenge #350 ~ Spin

The word for last time’s Pic and a Word Challenge #350  was Spin, along with this dizzying photograph of the Middle Head Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Three bloggers took a Spin this time, including two first-time challengers. Thanks, everyone, and welcome aboard! ❤ 🙂
