Make a story of a picture

My friends from California brought Dixit game along with them. We played it last night.
The game is about describing your card in such a way that atleast one person guesses the card right from a selection each adds to as their intrepretation of your explanation.
I found myself stuck at the literal desciption. A person sculpting birds and butterflies out of clouds was 'Michelangelo with hurt knees'. A leafless, grey tree with a bouquet reminded me of the weeping willow story. A braid with a ring around it reminded me of highwayman poem with Bess's long hair.
A friend played his turns with very generic phrases which summed the pictures aptly.
From now on, I should give such phrases to everyday dreams.

Mary Kay

When I looked at 'mary kay makeoover contest' in Parents magazine, I was reminded of the behind of a car that I saw yesterday with Mary Kay on it.

Warning sign

In 'hard target' movie, Jean Claude Van Damme bites off the rattle of the rattlesnake saying, " I will leave a little surprise for my friends'.
When rattlesnakes shake their tail, its a sign to retreat.

Parks

On our way to a park that I knew as a stop for coffee sips and word drips , I took an early turn and went through a bigger park with baseball fields. Boys in green and girls in red uniforms for a practice on sunday morning.
A big broad tree with leaves of a eucalyptus but the mental image of a skinny trunk not letting the tree in front of me be named. Broad trunk Eucalyptus.
Killdeer. gum. Xeriscaped garden across with a pathway that I want to take next time.

We stopped at a fountain in a pond too. Mallards with their heads looking purple when they come into sight and green when away. On the left side of the pond some birds are sunning themselve slike cormorants. We wait for them to move. Swallow kites by on the pond.

nature

Day before yesterday a hawk was circling low above the corner of a building. Its wing spread was all white underneath.

A teenager on a small bike with another standing behind her. A reminder of circus cyclists.

A ground bush raised like a cave.

I was surprised to find a sparrow sitting on a hummingbird feeder trying to decode the entry to food treasure.

Two big brown dogs with trim belly like a lions.
