Pictures I've Taken

Hi everyone!

I take pictures when I find something cool, but that doesn't necessarily mean I post them, since I don't think that a couple of pictures make a very interesting post. But I thought that a post with the collective pictures I've taken over a long period of time would be fun!:)

I took some of these pictures at Hillside, a craft fair that I go to.:) This picture was of a door with its paint peeling. I really like it for some reason.:) 

This picture is of a cobweb or spider's web that was attached to a fire hydrant. It's one of the few pictures I've gotten where I actually have legitimate bokeh!:) 

Another picture with bokeh, I love how this one turned out!:) 

Hillside had these pretty pink flowers, although they look more purple in this picture.;) 

I hope I don't have to explain what this is.;D 

The sky was looking so cool one day, and I took this picture. Doesn't the clouds look like tire tracks? Or doesn't the sky sort of look like water?:) 

I got this picture in my backyard, I thought it was really cool!:) 

I have a drawing mannequin on my desk and the sun was casting a really cool shadow on the cork behind it. I think this picture is so interesting! I'm pretty sure I edited it.;)

I hope you guys enjoyed seeing some of my photography.:) Sorry I haven't posted in over a week, I just didn't really know what to post. I'm trying to not post as much Star Wars, but that's really hard...XD I hope to have some writing tip posts up, but sometimes it's difficult to think about which topic to talk about.XD

Have a nice day!:)

Shadows - A Mini Story

Hallo! Bonjour! Hello! And all that good stuff!;) Yesterday, I made a paragraph of a story inspired by this writing prompt-

Photo credit goes to Pinterest.:)

 

So, yep! That's the prompt! I was searching through my "Inspiration" board on Pinterest for some short story to write and post on here, when I came across this one! I really liked it so here's the story I wrote for it--

Couples leapt into the air and danced lively around the ballroom, while stray women waited anxiously to be asked to dance. Women in massive, elaborate ball gowns sauntered across the edge of the ballroom, waving delicate fans in front of their noses. Chatting with others, men in ornate suits stood with champagne glasses in their hands. An energetic orchestra pumped out tunes at the other side of the room and people smiled at the upbeat music. The crowd of women wearing detailed dresses and the men sporting pristine suits spoke and cheered and danced happily, each of them wearing a genuine smile of joy. But a stiff figure in the back of the room stood out among the cheerful couples. I looked closer at the dark clad figure who looked so wrong amidst the robust crowd. The figure was a woman, dressed in a simple, sleek, black gown, her ebony curls falling gently behind her shoulders. Her lips were drawn into a perfect line and her skin was as white as a ghost. I walked towards the mysterious woman carefully. She was a shadow against the colorful women and men. I stepped up to the woman, there was something magnificently dark that enticed me to her.
I held out my hand to her and watched as her impossibly white eyes looked up at me with a mixture of shock and curiosity.
"Would you care to dance?" I asked. She flicked a glance at my hand and back to me. She slipped her slender hand into mine and nodded. I took her other hand and guided her into the dance. The music faded into a dull thrum and the light dimmed, her snow white eyes holding my gaze, making it impossible to look away.
Time paused as we danced. We were merely a shadow in the crowd.

So how did you like that?:) I am going to draw a picture of the shadow woman and post it here, maybe tomorrow maybe later in the week...who knows?:)
