I took a walk yesterday with my Mom and our friend Annette, and took my camera along for the ride (or rather the walk) and I snapped some great fall photos. But then I got to thinking, hmm, a picture is worth 1,000 words, so just how many words did I capture yesterday?

Then I got to pondering and decided I'd use these snaps I took yesterday to help me describe things in the world that I'm building, and thought you guys might want in on the exercise. Here's what I'm doing right now;

Renaming the cattail:

Describing the setting:

How it feels
How it looks
How it smells
How it tastes(yes tastes, places can have tastes)

And then deciding. . .

What is important about it:

It could be a food source
It could be used for clothing
It could be a harbinger of a bad winter
It could be the sign of a dragon near by (flamed and the pod popped open)
It could be releasing toxic spores


So, if you want to have fun with me making this cattail into something it's not, post your creative, innovative, and amazing ideas in the comments. Everything you post belongs to you and is copy write(d) to you. No points or awards here. This is just for the fun of playing with words!
