Lost in Translation

Thursday’s Special: Young

As I announced on Sunday the theme today is “young”, however the participants in TS know that they can always come up with their own theme and submit a photo (photos) of their choice. In the Sunday’s post you can find the list of themes for both Thursday’s Special and Black and White Sunday in December 2014. Next Thursday December 11, the theme is “imperfection” (a colour theme) and this coming Sunday  (December 7) the theme is “panorama” (in black & white).

As usual I have a musical score to go along with the photo.

The original Thursday’s Special post explains why I called this photo challenge a non challenge and why I dedicated it to Thursday. If you want to take part, leave me a link to your posted photo(s) in the comment section of this post. You are also invited to suggest photo ideas/themes for future Thursday’s Special posts in 2015.

Here comes the widget:  (pasting it to your post is optional)

As every Thursday, my dear blogger friends come bearing gifts:

    Phew, that was a bit hectic, but I’m here! I had to switch links 🙂
    This is adorable! I knew they would be animals of some kind but I went for humans. Not your favourite thing 🙂

          This would be great Angeline 🙂 I am really happy to hear that you are interested. Would you rather do a B&W Sunday or a colour post on a Thursday? I have planned guest posts (two per month – one in colour, and one B&W). So far it seems, that January and February are already taken :D. I would be happy to read you Angeline, whether here or via email (see copyright notice on the right) to hear your ideas and wishes. Warmest greetings, P.
