quayside

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.

NOTE: When this post came out the comments were closed and it was not my doing, but a screw up of WordPress. I did not know about it, until I was notified through email by a very kind blogger. What I find odd and unsettling is that a few of you have noticed it being closed (you might have guessed that I am not responsible for that), and that you did not leave me a note under some other post or even as a reply to one of my comments on your blog. After so many years of running challenges here, I find this worrying.

Here come the links to participants’ entries:

        Oh, Paula, thank you for your sweet wishes. I had a piece of dark chocolate too late into the day, it kept me awake for hours. I didn’t know when I fell asleep. But it’s been a good day. I’m leaving in one week from California to Portland Oregon for my daughter’s first baby delivery. She is due on 9/19!

    Beautiful photographs Paula. The bifurcate was such a peaceful scene and I loved the cheeky intruder. We get birds here that do that also. Loved the music – I felt like I was skipping through the meadow and on down to the quayside. Mine https://irenewaters19.com/2017/09/07/five-words-sept-2017-thursdays-special/

              This isn’t something for which we need help. They are messing around with the software again. A lot of people are out of touch for some weird reason. I lost, then found, more than 3000 followers and was essentially “off the air” for almost a month. It’s not JUST you. It’s them. I don’t know why they can’t leave the software alone when it works. They have to keep fixing it until it breaks.

    I like the clouds in your last shot – almost as if they are emanating from that strange shell-like structure (which in itself is nice because of the mirrored image). And to top it of there is a sign that tells me I’m looking at a bridge. I like your Pick A Word challenge because it makes me look up old photos trying to match them with your words. In the end, I usually can’t decide which one to go for so I take all five: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/07/5-words/

    Aaaagh! Bifurcated!

    First time I came across this word was in a Stephen Donaldson novel and he used it enough times it became irritating as hell!

    However, I shall grit my teeth and see what I can come up with!

    Your images are beautiful. I especially like the last one. The textures make it look almost like a painting.
