THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: PICK A WORD – MARCH 2024
Posted on March 29, 2024
I had to wait till the end of the month to come up with this challenge post, and using old photos. Not very dilligent of me, but even I forgot that I took these years ago. And now here are some easy words for your to match with your photos. It is enough to interpret just one word, but if you want to do all five, even better for you:
FLOATING
ROSY
OVERLOOKING
PRECOCIAL
SEEDY

HAVE FUN and HAPPY EASTER TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE!

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: PICK A WORD – JANUARY 2024
Posted on January 25, 2024
It’s the first month of the new year and I am already running out of time. I came ill-prepared to challenge you with this post, offering very common words and photos taken mostly by mobile phone, but they are fairly recent.
Here we go:
FAR-REACHING
PANORAMIC
SCENIC
ALL-ENCOMPASSING
WIDE-RANGING

P.S. For new comers to this blog this is a photo challenge that has been running for many years now (with some breaks), and it consists in interpreting the given words (one, or several or all five) in photos that you took. It was initially part of a broader challenge that ran on a couple of Thursdays per month hence the name Thursday’s Special. I did not abandon that name considering the possibility of posting more often in the future. I hope you will find something in this post that will make you join. Have fun!

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: PICK A WORD – DECEMBER 2023
Posted on December 21, 2023
This is my last Pick a Word post this year. It has been running for many years (with some breaks in between). I fully intend to pursue it in the forthcoming year too, and hopefully more zealously than this year.
I would like to thank my faithful followers and newcomers to my blog for being here and sharing their world with me and other bloggers.
With that said, here is my choice of words and photos for this December:
MEDIEVAL
PAINTED
TRADITIONAL
ILLUMINATED
SACRAL

The words this time are not in alphabetic order. They are chosen randomly with the intention to focus on the light and beauty around us. Have a happy holiday season, everyone!
WOW – WORDS OF WISDOM – Y23 #12
Posted on December 20, 2023
Two days before the December solstice I am sharing a quote by an American author which seems fitting for this time of year.
“They say there is no light without dark, no good without evil, no male without female, no right without wrong. That nothing can exist if its direct opposite does not also exist.”
~ Laurell K. Hamilton, Incubus Dreams

I hope that you will join me with the Words of Wisdom of your choice for this quote and photo challenge in which you are supposed to pair a quote with a photo that you took. Have fun!

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: PICK A WORD – juLY 2023
Posted on July 27, 2023
I did not like my recent holiday, so I am posting old photos trying to inspire myself to travel some time again. That does not mean that I will not look at the photos that I took on my recent trip and post them, I just need time to forget the nuisance that came along with it.
Sorry if you saw those images before, but it is the best that I can do today.
The words for this month’s Pick a Word photo challenge:
FAMILIAR
SELECTED
NAUTICAL
REFRACTION
SPLENDID

P.S. WHY DOES WORDPRESS KEEP “IMPROVING” THIS SITE. I AM PAYING TOO MUCH MONEY TO BE ANNOYED WITH THEIR FUNCTIONALITIES.
WOW – WORDS OF WISDOM – Y23 #7
Posted on July 26, 2023
It’s the last Wednesday in July, so I am posting a quote for my WoW challenge (words of wisdom), where you are invited to post a quote and to pair it with a photo that you took. In my today’s edition I am posting a sketch of mine as I photographed it. Not feeling very inspired, but rather sleepy I am sharing a coffe quote by anonymous.
˜May your coffee kick in before reality does.

I will be happy to see what quotes you choose to share for this challenge, and to see your photos. Have fun!
P.S. I am sorry I did not do this straight away. My sketch was inspired by Black Ivory Coffee even though I haven’t tasted it yet. It is the World’s rarest, most expensive and delicious coffee and elephants are to thank for that.
