Pic and a Word Challenge

Last week we sought the light through the Overcast.

This week, let’s find softness in Stone. Or find something else to inspire you in this photograph of a granite Island off a granite point beneath a granite sky on Lake Superior at Pukaskwa National Park in Ontario, Canada.

The Pic and a Word Challenge is a weekly creativity prompt 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, podcast, 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 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: Overcast

Overcast, Bellburns, Highway 430 - The Viking Trail, Newfoundland, Canada
Challenge #386 ~ Overcast

The word for last week’s Pic and a Word Challenge #386 was Overcast, along with this photograph of Bellburns, a small fishing outport off The Viking Trail (Highway 430), on the blustery west coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

Two bloggers found light in the Overcast this week. Thanks everyone! 🙂
