It's 2:33 in the morning and what am I doing? I'm thinking about words...what else? Below is a list of words that I use to help me paint an even better picture of a place I'm trying to describe...yes ONE place again. Look at my word list and chose five words to help you add more to your description.
If you're just joining us, describe ONE place (setting) that's in your mind's eye. By the way, if you're a teacher or a homeschooler, this is a fun way to teach prepositions. If you're a writer, these words will make you better writers. Most of all, just have fun. Do not worry about grammar with these exercises. Just wallow in the joy of what these words can conjure up in your imagination!

Underneath the umbrella of trees
within the pasture fences
in front of the old door
between the gate and the mud puddle
among the sweet clovers
Your turn! Please share what you come up with. Coincidentally, you may have already used some of these words. Hmmm....I wonder!

across the green mountains and blue seas
without the permission of the gatekeeper
between towering mountains
behind the hanging vines
towards white sandy beaches
Wow, Al...that's almost a story in itself!!! I can see where you're going!
Above the earth.
Across the never ending yard.
Against the tall trees.
Through the wooded area.
By the cool stream.
Through the broken fence
Down the narrow path
Among the tall weeds
Across the dried up creek
Behind the withered barn
Okay...these are all really good!!!!
Among the birds
Above the green grass
Beside the bumpy bark
On top of the cotton net
Near the love of my life
DURING the long and tedious ride across the Bridge (the golden gate bridge) http://travelingsuitcase.blogspot.com/2009/07/golden-gate-in-pictures.html
AMONG the Navy and Merchant Marine Memorials (and cute sailor statue there at the bridge)
BEFORE the lighten struck the bare and cracked earth.
Underneath the rocky overhang, I took shelter
Inside my head feels like someone using a jack hammer.
1. The skies above
2. The grass beneath
3. Small buildings on top of the low hills
4. The gentle breezes blowing around
5. Behind the hills
sooo very FUN this is!

Very-very-far-away-enough road.
Below my driveway, wildlife highway.
Among pilfering Vervets, cinema of nature, morning song symphony.
During thundering convergence of triple storms. Scent of mother earth; dehydrated; thirsty.
From heart beat of Africa,
To nurturing of my soul.
