Spring is just around the corner here in Kansas. At least, it seems so with the mild temperatures we've had recently.
The photo poster above seems perfect for a photo prompt exercise. To do this exercise, go through the following checklist:
- Study the photo--take some time, don't just look and move on
- Jot down all the colors you see
- 'Where do you think this might be?
- Who do you think the woman is"
- What is she doing in the garden?
- Is she waiting for someone?
- Has she run away from someone?
- Is she happy or sad? Or frightened? Or angry?
- Where does the garden path lead?
- What time of day is it?
- What does the air feel like? Smell like?
- Show rather than tell
Now, write a paragraph or a few paragraphs after you've gone through the checklist. Be descriptive. Use sensory details. Show emotion. Have fun with this!
