Prompt: Sunny Days

[Prof. Gustavo Flores]

Recently, I just finished reading a book about hope, and that made me think about how that emotion leaves me a warm, nice feeling that I instantly relate with the sun.

I used to have a teacher that talked about sunny days, but not in the literal sense. Sunny days as those days in which you simply feel happy about something. My teacher said that for her, a sunny day would be the one in which she had time to do what she had to do, but also time to do what she wanted to do.

So, what would your sunny day look like? For March’s Prompt, I would like you to make a drawing or graphic in which you show us your perfect Sunny Day! Try to go beyond the literal meaning of the concept, but of course, if your sunny day involves a day in the beach, that’s totally fine!

Please share your work replying to this thread. Remember to keep everything HOL appropriate, adhering to all HOL rules, and keeping your submissions 600x600 pixels or smaller.

You'll earn 20 beans for completing this prompt as well as it counting towards the chance to snag our shiny Ink Splatters award.

There is no deadline as such for these prompts but if you’d like it to count towards your chance of earning the award for a specific year, we’ll need it by the end of that school year. If you’re comfortable sharing, then post below. If not, email your image and description to us via hol.bookclub @ gmail.com (without the spaces).

My “sunny day” or happy day would be reading a book and eating cookies.

My sunny day would be sitting by a tree and relaxing with a cup of something hot and doing nothing. (I had just wandered off to look at something, will return to the cuppa hot soon!)

I had to admit that my sunny day would be the really sunny day, walk on the beach with a dog and some swimming after this.
