non-human

 

portrayal

 

remains

 

stellar

 I know that some of these words are tricky to interpret visually, but I hope that you will find at least one that works for you.  I   promise to give you an “easier” selection at the start of the next year 😉

 

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.
