On my blog site, I have organized my pictures that are waiting for a prompt. These include regular prompts I use, like Wordless Wednesday and Monochrome Monday. There are also folders where I store things like plant, animal, waterfall, and old building photos. Today I’m sharing some of these pictures.
Landscapes can be full of color,
or dark and brooding.
A wild creature close by can shine in a neutral background,
while one farther away can still show a powerful presence.
Artwork can be lighter than air,
or anchored to a concrete wall.
Some photos waiting for a prompt don’t seem to fit into any category. Though I can control the vertical and horizontal, what is the best way to present them?
When you look at them from one angle, they may hold beautiful flower arrangements.
When you look at them from another, they may be the perfect serving dish for chips and dip.

I really enjoyed these wonderful images.
Thank you! :)
Very clever Siobhan! Loved your approach to the challenge and was especially drawn to the colorful balloon and wall images. All the best to you this holiday season and into the New Year.
Thanks, Tina. I was glad to use some images I've been collecting. Happy Holidays to you as well!
Great selections. 👏
Thank you, John!
What an excellent response, Siobhan! The landscapes, the nature shots, the mural, and that multi-purpose dish are perfect. So glad you shared them.
Thanks, Egidio! That post had a little bit of everything. :D
What a wonderful collection, Siobhan! I especially love your landscapes and the mural. All the best in 2026.
Thanks, Patti! You have a great 2026 as well. :)
These are good leftovers that I am so glad you shared Siobhan 😀 I do the same and have "holding folders" for prospective photos for nearly all the usual photo challenges as well
Thanks, Brian! Good to know someone else gets pictures ready to go in the same way. 🙂
I like how you've highlighted the contrasts in these images. The lone duck is my favourite 😀
Thank you, Sarah! I used a light vignette effect on that one.
Stunning clouds in the first 2!
Thank you, Hammad! Glad you liked my cloud photos. 🙂
Your method of cataloging your potential challenge photos is something that I should aspire to, Siobhan!
It takes a while to process photos, so it's nice to have some ready to go.
You're so organised! Love your pairs, especially the artwork one.
Thanks, Sofia!
