Today’s Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, is “frog.” My nephew told me that my next bokeh filter should be a frog a while ago. I’m glad I finally made it. I like how it turned out. OctPoWriMo Today’s prompt is “ode.” The 2018 prompt was “Tortured.” I like the contrast of writing a tortured poem ofContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 12: An Ode to Tortured Love & Frogs”

#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 11: A Darkness Falls
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge,”night,” I had some fun creating my own starry night in the daylight. OctPoWriMo Today’s prompt, “horses,” took me by surprise. I have odd, mixed feelings about horses. I’ve been to horse camp, a dude ranch; my sister trained a horse in the field I walked through on the way toContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 11: A Darkness Falls”
#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 10: Walking on Air with a Wisdom of Owls
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge “owl,” I woke up with owls on the brain. Then I ate them, so I had to look for more owls. I found a parliament in the bedroom closet. With all the birds and little bats in the area, I thought there would be owls about, but I haven’t seenContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 10: Walking on Air with a Wisdom of Owls”
#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 9: #SoCS My Skin is a Lid Twisted Tight
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge “blood,” I played with some fun color filters. For the image above, I used a red lens that screws onto my camera lens. When I put on the red lens, I forgot I was also using a color filter built into my camera that captures everything in black and whiteContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 9: #SoCS My Skin is a Lid Twisted Tight”
#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 8: Moments of Madness, or Clarity through the Fog
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge “fog,” I jumped out of bed and was rewarded with a little morning fog on the lake. I love the pareidolia of a giant ghost bat in the trees over that mysterious light in the water. I love how a photograph through the fog made this house look like aContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 8: Moments of Madness, or Clarity through the Fog”
#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 7: Balanced Between a Zombie and a Horror Story
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge “zombie,” I wasn’t sure what to do. I’m not a fan of dead people walking around trying to eat my brain, so I avoid them. Yesterday, however, I had to go to the store, so I took a look at the slim Halloween offerings (my local Walgreen’s shelves were quiteContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 7: Balanced Between a Zombie and a Horror Story”
#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 6: Treating Myself to Conquering My Fears & Bokeh Jack-o-Squashes
For today’s prompt at Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, “treat,” I reworked the mouth of my Jack-o-lantern bokeh filter. Since my treat today is going to be homemade butternut squash soup, I thought I’d try my idea of putting jack-o-lantern faces on my squash. And it worked! So fun. Since treats are usually associated with taste,Continue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 6: Treating Myself to Conquering My Fears & Bokeh Jack-o-Squashes”
#OctPoWriMo & Writober Day 5: Tricks Played Along the Path
How’s that for a trick? I found a simple healthy dark chocolate recipe, and a Halloween chocolate mold (glad I had one skull left, I already ate all the pumpkins). I think those little people are supposed to be cherubs (other chocolate mold), but I choose to see them as people running in terror. MyContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & Writober Day 5: Tricks Played Along the Path”
My Skeleton and Other Wild Animals: #OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 4
Today’s theme for #tshalloweenchallenge is Skeleton. I’m so glad I found this challenge yesterday. I’m finding it very inspiring. Yesterday, I started looking through my Halloween fabrics and today, I started playing with my Halloween decorations. For once in a long while, my Halloween might not feel rushed and last minute. OctPoWriMo Today’s prompt isContinue reading “My Skeleton and Other Wild Animals: #OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 4”
#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 3
OctPoWriMo Fun News! The prompts are up at OctPoWriMo 2021! Today’s prompt is “Contemplation.” This prompt made me think of the work I did on “reflections” last month, and inspired me to take some mirror in mirror photos I had been too insecure to do before. The OctPoWriMo prompt for Day 3 (from 2018) isContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo & #Writober Day 3”
