I need a kick start, and my thoughts went to my supporters.I don't need volumes of writing, just a line or two to play with. If you wish to write more, that is fine, I need to open up my mind a little but don't expect too much of your time.
I issue a challenge, there is no prize or reward, only my grateful thanks for giving me advice and brain stimulation.
Please choose an image (or the whole thing), from one of the photographs below, and show me how you would describe it. Colours, textures, smells, sounds, facial features, basically anything that springs to mind.I need to get at least 100 words out of me other than, she wore green, he wore a hat, they laughed, she frowned and so on.
So if you are up to a challenge, ready to kick start my cell, you know the one I call my brain, then ready, steady...go!

looking at the last pic
Glynis’ status in the community, at least among the women, was well established after one glance at her well-appointed kitchen fireplace. Her bricks were as blackened as theirs, her tasks as onerous, and yet what luxury! The hearth was raised, nearly eliminating the backbreaking leaning over the fire. Not one, but two ovens were built in alongside the fire box. Each was fitted with a cast iron door, decorated with raised motifs of ropes, wheat, and medallions. A brass key was fitted to the upper oven. High on the right a warming shelf provided warm, dry storage. Glynis, not unaware of the good fortune which had so recently visited her, displayed her copper kettle, that precious gift from Susan, in the niche. The kettle gleamed, a constant reflection of the love that had so recently spread across her young life.
P.S. I’m not sure it really has 2 ovens, or if the lower area is for ash removal... didn’t want to take the time to research it....
Oh, nuts... I used the word "fitted" twice in a row... well... you just wanted something to get you thinking.
Sharkbytes, thanks for taking the time and rising to the challenge. That was brilliant, I love all the little descriptive pieces. That is the sort of thing I have got to practice.
I am told I have it, but unfortunately I do not see it, and until I do, I will not be satisfied.
You are forgiven the fitted x 2 as you used my name and the word young in the same passage, ;0 lol.
Thought I'd have a go at the first pic :)
"It was a lovely afternoon, with the air bearing just the merest hint of nip and the sun not so severe. The calm waters of the pond reflected the blue sky and the surrounding foliage. Two ladies stood at the edge of it on the stone path. They donned fashionable garments, one of them in a shade of prussian blue and the other in lovely lilac. They turned their heads toward the water seemingly watching a fascinating scene. At first glance their stance appeared friendly, conversational , but the rigid set of their backs transcended good posture and suggested the presence of tension."
That was fun. Hope it helps somehow. :)
Spinning- that is great reading of that pic... I look at those two and just see... ladies in fancy dresses... whatever...
spinning, that was wonderful, prussian blue! Their body language is just as you state.
Thank you.
I have re-read Sharkbytes again and I love it, that cosy kitchen feel is so there!
#4 The sun room was decorated with blue striped accents displayed throughout the room. Everything is in it's proper place waiting for company to have an evening get together for tea time. Open windows with striped ruffle valance to receive the heat of the morning. Ecru distressed shelf with pegs decorated with a sprig of green ivy.
Hope this helps even a little bit. It seems the simplest words are the hardest to put in terms.
It's too late tonight for my brain to be creative but I just had to say that absolutely love that fireplace!

Thank you for dropping by Lil'enchanted!
The sight of her scurrying across the field like a frightened rabbit, her bustle bouncing up and down like a bobtail, brought a sadness to his heart that was almost palpable. Yet,in a strangely exciting way it made him want to give chase. He had never intended to overstep the mark and take advantage of her innocence.
The weather had changed and the sage green hilltops were turning purple and black in the fading light. There was a thunder storm coming, but it would never be as severe as the angry clouds that waited for him back at the farmhouse.
Lizzie thank you! Wonderful descriptive piece, I will add it to my post to share with others.
@Glynis: Glad you liked it.:)
@Sharkbytes: Was just feeling fanciful, lol
