Nature Based Creative Prompts

Sometimes its easy to feel like we are lacking in inspiration, but if we look to the natural world, wherever we are in the world, we may realise that we don’t have to look very far for inspiration… but even then, it can be hard to pick, or put words to, a single thing to be inspired by…

So here are 25 nature based creative prompts for you. They started as ideas for creative writing, but they can really be used for any kind of creative practice. I hope you find them useful.
