I've tried a few times to make this a habit, but here's what I find hard: when Laura starts listing possible entries into the image (which are undoubtedly useful for some people and always interesting), I get all distracted and I can't react naturally. The moment of inspiration passed me by so often I gave it up.

I so enjoyed participating this week. Usually I miss the prompt because I'm in "get ready and get out the door" mode by the time it arrives in my mailbox. I especially like your "Pushing Through" and that fabulous silver lining poem. Isn't it fascinating to see how people take the same photo prompt in so many different directions?Molly Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975100905434379155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682499942234804128.post-37508151863146556242018-12-28T00:35:17.652-05:002018-12-28T00:35:17.652-05:00Aren’t Laura’s prompts fun?

The silver lining poem especially intrigued me with your word play. Within the 15 words or less and Laura Salas' photo prompts, you found a variety of thoughts. While away, I was taken by the beautiful wooden paths in Reston and so I began to experiment with thoughts-a mental game until I came home to my computer.
