Hi Willow, I don't get any snow where I live so did a bit of imagining. I'm also working slowly through older magpie promts, so if anyone wants to visit and checkout some of the others I have posted they are more than welcome to pop over and leave a comment... I can put the kettle on... Thanks again for a wonderful prompt..
Hi Willow, We also do not have snow. It would have been fun. From news reports apparently the snow came early this time. We could just use a lot of imaginations in our postings.
we had our first snow fall last week- so this post was very timely! Cheers and thanks Willow for this stellar photo! Is this just right out your front door?
i love these magpie prompts! but, i can't just look at a picture and make something up about them...they have to be a true story for me. i find that odd. and it has flurried at my house all morning too for the first time....ah pretty snow.
Winter has not arrived yet, or so some say, but it has sent ahead heralds of snowflakes to announce its intention. I posted my poem before I finished the audio mp3. Tess has infected we magpies with the need to hear the poetics, to give it voice, to tease the air with the author's own intonations and rumble.
It was really awesome to be prompted. Thanks! Don't really like the piece that churned out but I'm glad to have been given the impetus to makes some words.
The picture just happened to remind me of a very old poem I wrote, so I dusted off the snow and tears and posted it despite its faults. It's a very wintery poem, at least.
Hi Willow, I submitted my entry, but accidentally submitted another post, too. My official entry's #47, Back in Town. Please delete #46, I can't seem to delete it. Thanks!
Loving "winter" in North Carolina, but I know all about it as I hail from Northern Illinois and Northern Michigan where 12 inches of snow doesn't faze one! Although 1 inch of snow halts everything here in NC. I LOVE it. Thank you for this challenge!
Hello guys! I did a short story this time. Its kind of dark, I can't seem to grow out of my fascination with it. I hope you will all give me feedback so I can improve myself. ;-)
This was a fun wintery magpie! I haven't posted in awhile...really have been ill...two weeks with a three day stint in the hospital, then a bout with kidney stones. Not liking growing older! Now my desk top totally died, beyond salvation - like its owner!!
A snow post!! I have used your picture to tell my tale because it is just so apt for my piece about an unexpected visitor on my snowy doorstep - Terresa!! :)
I didn't think I was going to post this week, but I was reminded of a tiny piece of flash from a year or so ago that is more in fitting with the current weather than with the image. Thankfully I live in permanent sunshine so don't need to experience the winter any more, but there are many who do, and without the comfort of a warm fire to return home to every night. But for the fickle winds of fate, though...
My piece is finally written and posted. Funny how nothing comes to one for days and then it's there, in a flash. Whether it's good or not is something else!
Thank you again Willow for the opportunity to stretch myself. Funny how a visual picture can become a magic wand of creativity. This answers my question. I am very visually motivated.
I caught this at the right time and the words came. Love when that happens.
ReplyDeleteIn early this week, for a change :)
ReplyDeleteWhat goes on here is truly addictive. I can't help myself.
ReplyDeleteHow timely...I'm watching our first "real" snowfall outside the window as we speak....

I woke up this morning to the first gentle snowflakes of the season. A lovely welcome to December.
ReplyDeleteHi Willow,

ReplyDeleteThanks, Tess, very appropriate since we are snow-bound here in Ireland at the moment and we dont normally get much snow.
ReplyDeleteSo much snow here I'm snow-blind. Concentrated on the door. Thanks for another invigorating prompt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely prompt!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Magpie tales :)

ReplyDeleteI tend to be taken away by too many distractions.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this reminder, to sit and write still.
Cheers!
Winter has not arrived yet,
ReplyDeleteor so some say, but it has
sent ahead heralds of snowflakes
to announce its intention.
I posted my poem before
I finished the audio mp3.
Tess has infected we magpies
with the need to hear the
poetics, to give it voice,
to tease the air with the
author's own intonations
and rumble.
I think any credibility I may have had just flew out the window. LOL.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what others came up with.
I'm attempting to step out in style - or in, come to think of it!
ReplyDeleteIt was really awesome to be prompted. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDon't really like the piece that churned out but I'm glad to have been given the impetus to makes some words.
well what a coincidence...and i am actually in early...
ReplyDeleteLovely photo - thanks Willow!

ReplyDeleteWe just got done with an early snow and that is what I thought of.
ReplyDeleteBrrr...can't wait to get in!!
ReplyDeleteLovely photograph, Willow.
ReplyDeletehave one in,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspirations.
Cheers!

ReplyDeleteWillow, i hope my imagination will work. I have sumbitted mine and it is dedicated to you. Thanks for the wonderful photo.
ReplyDeleteYaaayy!! This week, I posted my poem early on! And this magpie, I am sure, has many many stories to offer! I am all set to read 'em!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Magpie-ing, y'all...
Another lovely prompt, thanks Willow. :)
ReplyDeleteOnce again I gazed at the prompt and figured no way, but this morning a thought kept nagging at my brain.
ReplyDeletewonderful photo
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful image. Thanks for the jumpstart.
ReplyDeleteReason, okay got ya covered! I deleted #46. :)
ReplyDeleteArian, you are the best. I am quite honored your elegant piece is dedicated to me. Thank you, dear friend. xx
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful photo, thanks Tess.
ReplyDeleteThis one had lots of meaning for me. Great photo prompt.
ReplyDeleteTess,
ReplyDeleteWinter images give me exercise, work me beyond my 'comfort zones', but I'm glad for the chance. This one birthed in due time.
TFool
I'm in! It's like you handed me that one on a silver platter my friend. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLoved this picture and the many stories it told...
ReplyDeleteOops. I wrote my entry earlier today. Then forgot to enter it in the linky. Now here it is.
ReplyDeleteHello guys! I did a short story this time. Its kind of dark, I can't seem to grow out of my fascination with it. I hope you will all give me feedback so I can improve myself. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe snowy steps bring back memories.
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun wintery magpie! I haven't posted in awhile...really have been ill...two weeks with a three day stint in the hospital, then a bout with kidney stones. Not liking growing older! Now my desk top totally died, beyond salvation - like its owner!!
ReplyDeleteAlthough we do not have snow yet,
ReplyDeleteit was the cold and stones which grabbed me !
and entrances- being allowed back in !
Happy Magpie- thanks.
Loved this prompt Willow. I want to live in that cottage.
ReplyDelete'Welcome to the hearth'...a poem about how social media has transformed many of our lives....
ReplyDeleteoh i was just wondering when we might get our first snow fall on this side...
ReplyDeletea little something to follow along from last week...:)
ReplyDeleteFor me, this picture brought out thoughts of the snow and what it does to home-bound people. I really don't know why. Thanks for the beautiful pic
ReplyDeleteWysteria
A late entry, Willow!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
This late thing is becoming a habit.
ReplyDeleteA snow post!! I have used your picture to tell my tale because it is just so apt for my piece about an unexpected visitor on my snowy doorstep - Terresa!! :)
ReplyDeleteNot quite sure if my little poem is quite done, but my brain turned in a funny direction this evening with the prompt.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I was going to post this week, but I was reminded of a tiny piece of flash from a year or so ago that is more in fitting with the current weather than with the image.
ReplyDeleteThankfully I live in permanent sunshine so don't need to experience the winter any more, but there are many who do, and without the comfort of a warm fire to return home to every night.
But for the fickle winds of fate, though...
my cottage door is open.
ReplyDeleteMy piece is finally written and posted. Funny how nothing comes to one for days and then it's there, in a flash. Whether it's good or not is something else!
ReplyDeletenice start to woolly sock time!! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you again Willow for the opportunity to stretch myself. Funny how a visual picture can become a magic wand of creativity. This answers my question. I am very visually motivated.
ReplyDeleteFor this week's beautiful image, I sipped some hot cider and remembered a best friend.
ReplyDeletesudden inspiration at 2 thirty - here it is finally.
ReplyDeleteI can't say much about the snow, but....
ReplyDelete:))
A tad late, I know, but I have put a response in place. Great prompt.
ReplyDeleteI will be late to my own funeral....happy Monday everyone! :-)
ReplyDeleteIn the nick of time......! Glad to see I'm not the only straggler....!
ReplyDeleteIt is cold and snowing in Kentucky. Loving your prompts.
