Lost in Translation
Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
Thursday’s Special: Pick a Word (turbidity, restlessness, transience, prolific, decrepit)
I’m starting something new today. I’m giving you five unrelated words that are neither synonyms nor antonyms. Pick one and depict it in photo(s).
-
Turbidity
-
Restlessness
-
Transience
-
Prolific
-
Decrepit
With this challenge there will be not voting for the best entry considering multiple theme choice. However, I opened a poll for the best glow entry that is on until next Wednesday, 8th June. Wishing you all a happy Thursday!
Transience
P.S. For newbies – if you are interested in participating in Thursday’s Special photo challenge, you should publish a post with a photo (or several photos) having in mind the given theme, link that post to this one and leave me a note in the comments section.
If you can spare a few minutes, please have a look at gorgeous interpretations by my fellow bloggers:
