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 

cibona
radiating (radiant)
luk_novi
Alimentary
labud-frontal-1_potpis_scale
frontal
ginkgo-mix2-1_potpis_scale
arboreal
fiera-di-primiero_shed-1_potpis_scale
remote

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

  28. 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.
