Lost in Translation

Hello 🙂 How are you all keeping?

I decided to show my face here at last after a 10 months break.
The end of last year was too trying for me and the events of 2020 left me without words, but I finally decided it was time to find my voice again and possibly even some sense in everything or at least to do my best in the face of reality. Everybody who finds inspiration in changing scenery / travelling will understand that the isolation was (is) too great a demotivator for my attempts at creativity, but travel is something I will have to do without for a (long?) while.
I am glad to see members of my blogging community around and I wish everybody the best of health and patience. 

Now here is what I was thinking of as this month’s Pick a Word choices:

ESTIVAL (cause it is still summer)

CUISINE (cause we all have to eat)

RIFT (cause it lends itself to a number of possible interpretations)

INSTRUCTIVE (cause we are being given tons of instructions lately)

and

SPAN (cause I am reaching out to you again, trying to bridge time and obstacles)

About images:

#1 Estival – /relating to summer/ is a shot of a beach (on Jersey island) with a lone person dating to the times before epidemic, but I think it is fitting to be posted now

#2 Cuisine – a stand at a local market in Zagreb that sells cevapi – accuretly spelled čevapi

#3 Rift in mountains of beautiful Madeira

#4 Instructive – I think you get the picture, but just in case here is the translation of the sign text: “Wearing your mask like this is just like wearing your underwear like that. … So please, wear your mask the right way.”

#5 Span – the name of this bridge is Devil’s Bridge i.e. Ponte del Diavolo and it is located at Cividale del Friuli

Now if you forgot how to participate in this photo challenge, read the following:

• you may choose one or several or all of the provided words and illustrate them in your own photos
• when you post your entry to this challenge link to my post and/or leave a link to yours in the comment section bellow

• you may, but are not obligated to, take a widget underneath and display it on your post (blog)

• the fact that I am using other people’s music by uploading it from my library does not mean that you have to do the same – I just like scores with my images

• the deadline would be before the next PAW post which is already foreseen for 1 October, but I really do not care about deadlines, so whenever you are ready.

That would be all for now. The next Pick a Word challenge is scheduled for the first Thursday in October. i.e. on the 1^st October. Between now and the next Pick a Word challenge there may be another Thursday’s Special (subject to momentary inspiration).

I am really glad to be here at last. ❤
