Play Along Friday: Things I've Seen (this week)

what i saw in march (Diana+; Kodak GC400)

As I play with photography and paint and incorporate more of the senses into my writing, I pay more conscious attention to the physical world. About a month ago I did a little "things I've seen this month" post. A few people liked the idea of using it as a prompt. I invite you to share things you've seen this week in the comments or on your blog (and link to it in the comments). Maybe something on your list  (or on someone else's) will spark an idea for a longer piece of writing. If so, please feel free to share that, too.

1. Weeds just as pretty as the flowers we call plants.
2. Homemade strawberry muffins on a white plate atop my blue kitchen counter.
3. My angry reflection in the bedroom mirror.
4. Neat rows of typed words, little black symbols on white paper.
5. Stratospheres of milky white made by cooled melted wax in a blue-striped glass votive.
6. Graffiti in my quiet little town.
7. A brown-and-white stuffed cat toy in the shape of a squirrel perched on the bottom step.
8. The beam of a flashlight.
9. My pink yoga mat.
10. Soapy water flowing over the side of the basement's clogged utility sink.

Your turn....

"Things I've Seen" is a sporadically appearing list of visuality.

Funnily enough, I did this exercise yesterday before reading your post! Yesterday it was all about seeing everyday things through the lens of love.
Fantastic idea to use the list as a writing prompt!
