#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.

#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”
