Pictures to entertain, spark interest, and inspire you to create with words or images, if you wish. Whether it’s a poem, story, play, novel, memory, essay, painting, drawing, sculpture, or another photograph is up to you. Or you can just enjoy the pictures. My image is untitled to avoid directing anyone. But you can find the title here.
If you use the prompt, post a link to your work, or the work itself, in the comments section, if you want. Please credit me by linking to this post, to allow more people to see both our creations.
Have fun and get those creative juices flowing.
Sometimes, I’ll include my writing inspired by the image.
For a small selection of my pictures, see my Gallery, or for a full appreciation, click here.

As an anatomist, I’ve been looking at skulls all my life. The owner of this one had be buffaloed until I looked at the site. What a huge mandible. I knew it had to be an animal because of the placement of the eye sockets and the foreshortened maxilla.

I used a wide angle lens to exaggerate the jaw, Noelle. And the oversized nasal passage struck me; I guess badgers use their noses a lot in their hunt for food.

It looks a lot like a Saber-Toothed Tiger, in my imagination, it could be one. You can see anything your want when viewing with a fiction writer’s mind.

Oddly, the guy who leant me his collection of skulls so I could photograph them, has one of a lioness, and it’s not as scary as this badger.
Imagination is a great quality, essential for anyone writing fiction, Brenda. I love how it allows the creative mind to alter reality.

Badgers – not to be messed with!

Ideally left to their own devices, observed rather than disturbed, I agree!
