A whimsical prompt this week showing a baby’s colorful walker on the left next to a child’s battery powered truck on the right. They are “parked” in front of a dual smoker. Have fun with this one!

Saved by the Mothership

The monstrous Alien wobbled on unsteady legs towards the truck. Unadjusted to our gravity, he thought. They might yet survive this.

This week’s photo shows a brick enclosure with an opening in the wall that looks like a large keyhole leading to another brick enclosure. Streaks of light seem to be coming through the perhaps grass ceiling. There are large stones on the ground and a bird bath in the right corner. It also looks like there are other little treasures on the ground.

The photo is a view out a window at dusk. Outside lights are seen through the drawn blinds. House plants are seen in silhouette. One can almost make out a building and water through the window. To the right are blue drapes.

This week’s prompt is in a restaurant. Looks to be Mediterranean. There’s a plate with a tower of meat. To the right is a have drunk glass of beer. There are plates and bowls of food. There are tables in the background with other patrons and a server in the upper right. The tablecloths are colorful. To the right we can see part of an iPhone and there is a patron at the table looking at his cell phone.

The photo this week is something of a challenge to describe. It looks like a cast iron bowl…perhaps a birdbath painted white. There are large cast iron skeleton keys in the bowl. To the left is a bunch of artificial roses. Hanging from one key in the center is a paper tag on a string.

The End of the Quest

“These are the power tokens?” Gri’selda stares at the scrap metal.
“Undoubtedly,” grunts Cor’nan. “Add the scroll; that should quicken it.”

The photo is a photo of a man taking a photo with his camera of a fruit plate, a cup of coffee, and a glass of orange juice. Behind the food and drinks is an iPad with a black and white photo of a man painting.

The photo is a seascape. On the beach some seagulls are resting. A sailboat with a brightly colored sail is on the water. The sky is overcast.

In this week’s photo we see the top of some sort of wooden cabinet. On top of it is a rust colored bucket with a handle close to the top rim. There are other objects next to it but I can’t tell what they are.

The photo looks to be a lattice or wooden fence covered with spider webs and vines. From the way the photo is framed it almost appears to be a window. Through the openings we see green grass, a tree, and the sky. The webs are so thick they look like they’re made from yarn of thick thread.

The prompt this week is on the side of a road. To the left there’s a line of parked cars. It looks like the photo was snapped in autumn as there are fallen leaves along the curb. The foliage in the picture is still pretty green so it’s probably not late fall. In the foreground is a road sign with arrows, one black one pointing down and a curved red arrow pointing up. There’s a yield sign icon at top right of the sign.
