Thursday’s Special: Pick a Word in September
You have already noticed that I had introduced a new, recurrent theme within Thursday’s Special – Pick a Word. Every month I offer you a choice of five words of which you are supposed to pick one or more (that’s up to you) and to illustrate it in a photo(s) of your own. This time I’ve decided to post photos for all five of them. What kind of a challenger would I be if I wasn’t able to respond to all my five words 😀
So, here is what we got today:
-
Populated
-
Time-sensitive
-
Companionable
-
Burgeoning
-
Clandestine
Populated
Time-sensitive
Companionable
Burgeoning
Clandestine
This is Thursday’s Special photo challenge. If you want to participate you are supposed to:
-
Make a post containing a photo (or photos) on one of the provided five words (you can do all 5 if you wish)
-
Link to this challenge post and tag it #thursdaysspecial
-
Leave me your link in the comment section bellow
-
Make sure you post before Thursday 29 September when a new challenge will be published

🙂 Thank you very much, dear. I am glad you like them, cause they are bursting with colour and warmth. That’s why I chose the song “home” for this post. I was very pleasantly surprised to see your post and very happy that you did all five. Is the clandestine related to you in some way? 😀

What a wonderful selection of images you’ve given us here, Paula. The duck shot is charming though, Mrs Duck tossing water from her bill. She looks rather smug too, to be paddling beside such a handsome drake. Ah yes, and the mystery of the parked bicycle. Splendid.
