Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: PICK A WORD IN AUGUST – YEAR 4
Hello and welcome to the August edition of the Pick a Word photo challenge. I hope that again you will find the offered words inspirational and intriguing and that you will respond as creatively as you did in July.
Here is what I have come up with:
ursine
earthward
coeval
connubial
adorned
ursine
earthward
coeval
connubial
adorned

image info:
1 – This is my Stonehenge Teddy camping in Austrian Alps
2 – A view downward from Cabo Girao, Madeira
3 – A pair of horses
4 – Ornament on a building in Vannes
5 – A nice hairdo
You may have noticed that I don’t provide definitions of the selected words. I omit to do that on purpose so that you can make your own research and find other synonyms. I enjoy that process a lot, and naturally I think that you might too.
Once again you are free to chose either of the provided words, or more or all of them.
Have fun!

Fascinating shots, Paula, each with a story of their own. I’m so glad you still find time to post. I’m just back from a lengthy UK trip and easing back into my Algarve life. 🙂 🙂 Nice music, too. Stay well!

Paula, thank you for introducing me to ursine, coeval, and connubial. 🙂 I must admit that there are times when your photographs awaken a bit of envy…the beauty, diversity, architecture, and history of Europe is amazing.

I can understand that, Brenda, though this time I have shown very little of Europe’s history.

Wonderful words and photos, Paula. I always learn something from your challenges. 🙂 I had a hard time with Ursine. Is a panda really a bear? It was as close as I could come. Hope all is well. https://3rsofretirement.com/2019/08/27/thursdays-specials-august-words/

I loved your images Paula, and there are some great words there. I had to look up coeval.
And I’m taking my time in working out how to interpret them.
We have coeval here: https://travelwithintent.com/2019/08/28/coeval-bovines/
And ursine here: https://travelwithintent.com/2019/09/05/ursine-performance-in-valencia/
I hope to see you back again soon with another great challenge
