Homonyms and Homophones

Here is a list of Homonyms and Homophones that I have been thinking about using from inspiration in my next photography project.

A Homonym is one of a group of words that share the same spelling and the same pronunciation but have different meanings such as rose, blue, or split. Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings. For example, 'witch' and 'which' are homophones (because they are pronounced the same)

Homonyms: 
bark
bow
cool
left
park
blue 
rose

Homophones:
altar-alter
ad-add
aisle-I'll
axle-axel
beat-beet
buy-bye
cousin-cozen
heal-heel
mail-male
sea-see
