The prompt this week is on the side of a road. To the left there’s a line of parked cars. It looks like the photo was snapped in autumn as there are fallen leaves along the curb. The foliage in the picture is still pretty green so it’s probably not late fall. In the foreground is a road sign with arrows, one black one pointing down and a curved red arrow pointing up. There’s a yield sign icon at top right of the sign.

Her room in the bunker feels like a dark cave. This is her life now.

This week’s picture was taken from Rochelle's back door. In the dark you can make out her deck with it’s white deck lights. Trees are silhouetted against a bright sunset. This was taken in December so there are no leaves on the trees.

The photo shows a little cafe from the outside. In front of one of the windows is a statue of a chef. There are three narrow picnic tables that look like they’re built into the side of the building. The sign above the roof reads, “Shelly’s Cafe and has the logo for Route 66. Along the roof is red, white and blue bunting, probably for the 4th of July.

This week’s photo is of a long sidewalk. One woman is walking along it. There’s a wall to right with a wrought iron fence and greenery peaking through. To the other side of the sidewalk is a row of trees and a street beside it.

In this week’s photo we’re on a landing looking down a flight of stairs between two brick walls. At the bottom of the steps is a sidewalk, a street and beyond that a parking lot with cars. It’s snowing and between the walls an evergreen Christmas oranamet topped with snow.

The photo today is of a very colorful three-tiered birthday cake. Lots of swirls, psychedelic flowers, and peace signs. It’s on a turntable. You can see a grocery store in the background and order tickets just behind the cake.
