Finally, I managed to make the post. I did not manage to align the words above in the centre as I did before, but here it is – a new Pick A word challenge post with very easy words this time. I haven’t forgotten about your earlier submissions- I will get to that as soon as possible.
Update on 13 December:
I am sorry I wasn’t able to log in, view your posts and post a new challenge. I have a health scare and some surgeries ahead of me and will be back once I have taken care of it. Wishing you all happy holidays!
Paula
NEW POST? Doesn’t seem possible…
I have been trying for hours to post a new post here, but it keeps disappearing and I can’t make it work like I did before. Until I resolve this, I will not be able to post the new challenge

In case there are some new participants that do not know how this challenge works: you can take one or more or all of the above provided words and interpret them in photos and post on your blogs with links to this challenge. I would appreciate if you could let me know here also that you have posted, cause sometimes the pingbacks do not work. I hope you’ll have fun!
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.

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!
THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: PICK A WORD IN JULY – YEAR 4
After a few months’ break here I come with the Pick a Word challenge again. I appologize for not being here and not sending any notices about how I fell and bumped my knee and ribs, but I am back to normal now and am ready to see your past and new entries. Here is the choice for this month:

If these choices don’t inspire you to participate in the July’s Pick a Word challenge, maybe they will inspire you to look up some words or to pick a new travel destination. No need to rush with your submissions, you know that I like to take my time.
THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: PICK A WORD IN APRIL – Y4
Welcome to the April edition of “Pick a Word” photo challenge (now running for the fourth year) where you are supposed to post photos (a single photo or as many as you like) as a response to one (or more/or all) of the offered word(s) in the challenge.
The following choices is what I had in mind for April. I know that some of these words are tricky to interpret in images, but still I wanted it to be a real challenge. 😀
resplendent
alluring
plagued

This event was originally conceived as part of the Thursday’s Special photo challenge that also included three more recurrent (or not) photo themes per month but lately, due to the busy life I have only been posting this challenge once a month. Still, I am sure that this is not going to stay this way and that I will be able to go back to posting more themes more regularly some time soon. In the meantime, I hope you will enjoy the little that I have to offer.
*Images taken at the following locations:
- Venice
- Dugi Otok, Croatia
- Somewhere in Brittany
- In Istria
- Portovenere, Italy
