Lost in Translation
Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: PICK A WORD – January 2021
This is the first time that I show my face in 2021. I had to figure out whether or not to resume challenges/posting. The end of the year was more than tumultous and I did not know what to expect from January.
Still, despite limited activities/movement I realised that I still have photos and ideas that I want to share.
So, here is the first challenge from me this year. Let’s hope for many more.
Wishing you all the best in 2021!
For those that are new to the challenge: you can pick one or more of the provided five words and illustrate them in your photos, or you can also do all five.
Here are the words for this month:
ETHNIC
ITINERANT
QUINTESSENTIAL
SHORELINE
MULTIFARIOUS

What an amazing shoreline…the colors, I gasped. A joining of water’s stillness side-by-side with it’s ebb and flow. Thank you for sharing this beauty.

The shoreline totally charmed me. Nothing like my beach, which is spectacular in a far more subdued way. Sending good wishes your way for this year, and glad to see you again.

Hi Paula, I love that amazing shoreline and the street musician made me smile. I am so happy you are going to keep going with ideas and photos. I was hoping the aches and pains could have been resolved by now. Stay strong.
