Tell us about your best friend, the one who knows everything about you, the one you go on adventures with, the first person you call when you get good news or bad.

August's photo writing prompt invites you to recall a time when you found yourself in an environment or landscape completely unfamiliar to you.

Think about the phases of your life, or the life of someone close to you, or phases you observe in the natural world (like the moon). What phase sticks out or compels you?

Do you play a musical instrument? Collect records? Love driving with the windows down and the stereo turned up? Is there a particular piece of music that is connected to a certain event, person, or era of your life...?

Have you ever made a splash with something you've said or done? What happened, and how did it make you feel? What was the ripple effect?

Can you think of a time when you needed to come out of your shell? What do you think about when you look at this picture? Write about it.

Conflict is inescapable; we will all face it at some point in our lives. Tell us about a conflict and how you found your way to resolution or peace.

Tell us about something ancient. Something that persists and has become stronger over time. Consider how nature preserves objects and impressions of the physical world...

Consider the idea of ruin as a noun, rather than a verb. Think about what once was and is now lost or changing, either in your own life or in the imagined life of this house...

What's that phrase, the tip of the iceberg? Tell a brief story where you show us just a hint of what's happening below the surface.
