Thursday Doors: The Last of the Whimsy

#ThursdayDoors #writingprompt

Here are some whimsical doors and the residents within.

First, the amiable host, your komodo dragon.

Then, a Peaceable Kingdom.

And the llama shall live next door to the lion.

It appears that elephants live in birthday cakes.

And penguins live in seaside huts.

At the end of my sojourn, someone gave me a scavenger hunt list of “hidden” animals, and I had already seen most of them and photographed some. You can’t outweird a weirdo.

A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: An animal where least expected.

About

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but now live in the woods in southern Indiana. Though I only write fiction, I love to read non-fiction. The more I learn about this world, the more fantastic I see it is.

    I’m ecstatic! My comment went through! But not as Oddment. Appropriately weird.

    Two quotables I’ll take from this: You can’t outweird a weirdo, and the llama shall live next door to the lion. Peaceable Kingdom indeed! It must have been great fun to put this together.

      Leah always seems happy and energized to have done it, but it wears her out. I’m just delighted to enjoy it.

    These are delightful doors, Marian. I like the penguin’s seaside cabin and the elephant’s cake house. Gives new meaning to eating someone out of house and home.

    I can see why the elephant wants to live in that birthday cake. So colorful and I bet tasty too. Do they eat cake in real life? If yes, would they choose vanilla, chocolate or carrot cake?

      Elephants eat “cakes” made out of fresh fruit. They would probably eat carrot cake, but they hate baking, so they buy it at the shop.
