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

 

It is the first week in July and it is time for another PICK A WORD theme. Here are the words to choose from: 

 

     soaring    

gaiety

prostrating

ephemeral

colossal 

soaring
gaiety
prostrating
ephemeral
colossal

©Paula Borkovic

Note about my images:

#1 is the view I see every day getting out of my apartment

#2 I said recently that I would be focusing on happy faces around my town. It’s much needed with so many bad things going on.

#3 Prostrating is good – when you are exhausted you should prostrate and when you do, do it in a good company too.

#4 My everyday life isn’t glamorous. It’s mostly asphalt, concrete, steel and glass, but whenever I can, I visit a botanic garden and if I ‘m lucky I get to see this. 

#5 My town is in the continent, but it doesn’t stop it from adopting a blue whale.

 I hope you’ve enjoyed my selection of words and images.  As usual for this theme, you can do one word, or more or all five. It’s up to you.

To join the Thursday’s Special photo challenge you are supposed to:

  • Make a photo post on today’s theme, before next Thursday.

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

  • Leave a comment under this post.

Lately I have been experiencing problems while logging on to WordPress and could not even access some of your blogs for days, and when I did I could not leave a comment or even a like. Let’s hope that WordPress team has finished introducing new improvements and upgrades so that I can resume normal communication with other bloggers.

 

If you can’t stop dancing, here are some bonus tracks for you. One for each image 🙂

 

It’s interesting to see what choices have fellow bloggers made for this challenge. Please, click on the links bellow:
