PhotoPrompt: Blarney Manor House and Tree

Blarney Manor House, Cork County, Ireland

This eerie tree is/was near the Blarney Castle, Co. Cork, Ireland.  The house in the background is Blarney Manor House, owned and occupied by the Lord of Blarney and his family. 

In a land that is so very green that it sometimes overwhelms the senses, this tree is starkly void of leaves and seemingly of life.

Using this photo as inspiration, write anything you wish—prose, poetry, flash fiction—anything.  Link it back to this site.  On the right sidebar are frequent participants in Monday PhotoPrompt writing; click on those and see what other inspirations you might find.

Happy writing!

PhotoPrompt Monday: Oak Trees

Oak trees

I miss the shades of green of Ireland and the Midwest.  Here in California, the color green is not the same as those lush places.  This photo caught me with its mossy green, the curve of the boughs, the girth of the trunks...I want to be right there.

Tomorrow I will post my fiction story on this oak grove.  Please be sure to visit the following sites:

An ancient grove of oak trees lining a path--do you want to walk beneath them?  What would you see and hear?  Who planted these oaks in a line?  How old are they, do you reckon?

Writers will have all week to consider what they want to write.  It can be prose, poetry, long, short, fiction, non fiction.  Work can be posted at any time.  We have no schedules to keep, no rules to follow except that someone needs to post a photo on Monday.

Write a quick flash fiction using this photo as your inspiration.  What is keeping you from doing this??  Go, now, quickly, while the green flows around you!
