Thursday’s Special: Pick a Word
This is another Thursday’s Special photo challenge. Today you have an opportunity to choose between five unrelated words and to make a photo post (in colour) on one of the selected themes. If you can do more than one words, it’s OK with me too :D.
So, here it goes:
-
elusive
-
profusion
-
viscid
-
brilliant
-
disorder
elusive
(listen to the gentle tune)
After you make a post consisting of one or more photographs, link to this post and leave me a comment in the comment section. Wish you all a happy Thursday!
P.S. As of yesterday the poll is open for Traces of the Past contest. Please, cast your vote!
P.S.S. As usual this Pick a word challenge will not be subject to a poll owing to a versatile character of the challenge.
Please click on the links bellow to see what the challenge participants have entered for these themes:

Oh I love the color of the spinning top Paula. One of my favorite childhood memories is playing with spinning tops. It’s funny how some things you don’t think about for years and then something such as your image triggers such a happy memory. Wishing you a great day, or now possibly evening. 🙂

You certainly have a knack for choosing words that are difficult to define visually. But I’m going to give it a shot anyhow because … well … it’s summertime and I have pictures 🙂
