This has been a crazy week for me so I didn’t have time to think about a prompt. I woke up and went to find some inspiration. I follow a group called I F*cking Love Science and they had pictures of a snapdragon seed casings that made me smile. I felt these would fit in perfectly to a fairy tale.
So here are two photo to hopefully inspire a good tale.
I love nature and all the little gifts it gives up! We just need to open our eyes and see them all.
I hope you now come up with some brilliant ideas and write…..do not forget to add your link to Mr Linky’s below.

I didn’t know that snapdragons were flowers covering death heads. I think my fairy tale will be on the Brothers Grimm dark side.

they just would not behave
no matter how much She gave them
they just went around destroying everything
and they never cleaned up after themselves
She gave them beauty, love, joy, blue skies
but all to no avail
they continued to kill
to be ungrateful
they never SAW the gifts in front of them
so one day
She did what any Good Mother would do
she taught them a lesson
She gave them what they wanted
She gave them Death
and once they were gone
the world flourished
human beings
She sighed
were her biggest
mistake

Dear Anja, They look like skeleton heads to me – so I would probably write something creepy too. I used to grow snapdragons every summer, but I never noticed this. Probably the four kids kept me too busy. Have a great week Anja! Nan 🙂

I never knew they did that as well. I stumbled across it and now I want to plant some snapdragons again. 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful week as well.
