THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: PICK A WORD – AUGUST 2021

I wanted to keep this challenge going despite the health issues recently. I am writing this post on my back so please forgive me for being too concise.

For this August’s Pick a Word, please choose any or some or all of the following words to interpret them in your photos:

PERDURABLE

FLEXUOUS

QUOTIDIAN

SOLITARY

ASTONISHING

perdurable
flexuous
quotidian
solitary
astonishing

If you wonder what is astonishing about the last one, it is my dracaena pot tree with ever so unexpected shrooms growing beneath.

    Hi Paula

    You nave a fantastic vocabulary. I had to look up two of your words this month. I like the himor in your photo exemplifying quotidian. Do you know what bird it is? I see that it has a leg band. I think your flexuous photo is lovely.

    Here’s my post with a Great Blue Herons, which are solitary:

    What beauties you have given us this month, Paula – both the images and the words. And I really don’t know how you managed that while struggling with illness.
    Take care and get well soon. I hope my flexuous images at least give you a little smile.
