THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: PICK A WORD IN FEBRUARY – Y2
For the Pick a Word challenge in February I chose five unrelated words and five unrelated images that cover different seasons, places and subjects. As usual you are free to choose one of the 5 offered words, and depict it in a photograph or you can do 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:
radiant
alimentary
frontal
arboreal
remote
radiating (radiant)
Alimentary
frontal
arboreal
remote

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

Hi Paula, hope you had a great entry to the New Year. Your photos for the words are great. Can’t pick a favourite but love that duck. As usual you have picked a wonderful mix of words to play with. For probably the first time I am using one photo. https://irenewaters19.com/2017/02/02/one-photo-5-words-thursdays-special/

My research came up with the phrase “tree like” when I explored “arboreal’…decided to edit an image I have of a tree. Thanks for this challenge as it offered me a road away from the insanity that is overwhelming the political landscape as well as the dreariness of winter.
