Oh, Paula, thank you for your sweet wishes. I had a piece of dark chocolate too late into the day, it kept me awake for hours. I didn’t know when I fell asleep. But it’s been a good day. I’m leaving in one week from California to Portland Oregon for my daughter’s first baby delivery. She is due on 9/19!

Beautiful photographs Paula. The bifurcate was such a peaceful scene and I loved the cheeky intruder. We get birds here that do that also. Loved the music – I felt like I was skipping through the meadow and on down to the quayside. Mine https://irenewaters19.com/2017/09/07/five-words-sept-2017-thursdays-special/

This isn’t something for which we need help. They are messing around with the software again. A lot of people are out of touch for some weird reason. I lost, then found, more than 3000 followers and was essentially “off the air” for almost a month. It’s not JUST you. It’s them. I don’t know why they can’t leave the software alone when it works. They have to keep fixing it until it breaks.

Fingers crossed I haven’t had any problems so far. I have noticed that I don’t have as many problems loading photos as I did before, but then again my internet is via satellite, which too has improved. I hope I remain on the good side of WP blogging.

I like the clouds in your last shot – almost as if they are emanating from that strange shell-like structure (which in itself is nice because of the mirrored image). And to top it of there is a sign that tells me I’m looking at a bridge. I like your Pick A Word challenge because it makes me look up old photos trying to match them with your words. In the end, I usually can’t decide which one to go for so I take all five: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/07/5-words/

First time I came across this word was in a Stephen Donaldson novel and he used it enough times it became irritating as hell!
However, I shall grit my teeth and see what I can come up with!
Your images are beautiful. I especially like the last one. The textures make it look almost like a painting.

your bifurcated made me smile – something about little ‘island’ with a miniature tree. beautiful landscape. my guess would be – somewhere in the nord where it rains all the time. that kind of rich green colour. 🙂
