THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: PICK A WORD IN JANUARY – Y2

For the first Thursday’s Special in 2017 I decided to challenge you with 5 Words.  You are free to choose between five different words and depict them in a photograph. Of course you may choose more than one word and post more than one photograph, or you may choose all of the words and depict them in a single image. Possibilities abound. Now, here are the words to choose from:

emerald

   permeated

engorging

limpid

wholesome

EMERALD
EMERALD
ruza-mokra-1_potpis_scale
permeated
engorging
engorging
limpid
limpid
wholesome
wholesome

To join the challenge you are supposed to:

  • Make a photo post post featuring one or more photos on one (or all) of the provided words, before next Thursday.

  • Link to this challenge post, and tag your post #thursdaysspecial

  • Leave a comment under this post 

Details about the words/images:

#1 – emerald – cause it is my favourite colour and the colour of my favourite lake (Lago di Braies)

#2 – permeated – cause this word lends itself to so many possibilities of interpretation. Hopefully, you will choose a positive one.

#3 – engorging – cause many of us have been doing that over the holidays. 

 #4 – limpid – cause it is a cool word and we need some clear vision at the start of the year 

#5 – wholesome – cause it is what I need and I am sure you need it too – a month of healthy living.

With these positive imagery and messages I wish you a great start of the year, and for the whole year to bring you what you most desire.

  22. It was NOT my imagination. For some reason, although it says I’m following you and I used to get notifications from you, I stopped getting them. I finally got the reader to actually put you IN the listings I don’t know what they are doing, but they are messing with us again. This was a great prompt and your pictures are gorgeous 🙂 AND you are back in my notifications list again.
