Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
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
permeated
engorging
limpid
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.

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.
