Looking for Writing Prompts?

Can you ever get enough good writing prompts?  Writing Prompts is a very original site that uses visuals to help encourage creativity for a quick brainstorm.  It seems to me that the pictures give students a place for their thoughts to get started, as sometimes that is the most difficult part.  I know how many times I've seen students lost as to where to start with a short creative writing assignment.  I think that this approach gives their brains the little push that they may need.  Unfortunately, this site is currently blocked by the district web filter because it is a tumblr blog, but these images can always be saved on a flash drive and opened on your school computer.  If you use creative writing in your classroom - I really urge you to check this out.  An example is shown below.
