Thursday’s Special: Saturation

For Paula this Thursday – Saturation.

I chose two natural ones from the garden. No enhancing – they are saturated by Nature!

Thursday’s Special: Way

For Paula’s Thursday’s Special I give you two ways: One NZ way for penguins and one Chinese way I don’t really remember what the fun was about…?

 

 

Thursday’s Special: Pair

Paula, at Lost in Translation, gave us a pair of pears for inspiration – here are my pairs: A pair of old party shoes and some phalaenopsis orchids.

 

Thursday’s Special: Once Over

Paula, at Lost in Translation, always surprises with new, inspiring tasks. This time I am not sure if I am doing what she is asking for…but I will give ”Once over” a try.

This old tree has been my friend for many years. I have passed by him almost every day, walking in the forest. Every season I admired his clothing and majestic appearance – so I have got many, many photos of him.

Last year he began to seriously decline, and just before Christmas, I realized he had finally given in. The youngest branches sticks out to the right from the top, and during summer, they lost their leaves. So, I knew what was coming. I am grateful for all these years and all the photos of him – he has been standing there since my childhood days.

Thursday’s Special: Message

Two messages? Paula, at Lost in Translation, is only asking for one…but I hope this is OK!

One dog to dog message and one human to human – at least…

Thursday’s Special: Traces of the Past y4-01

 

Traces of the past – in Segovia, Spain. The most impressive aqueduct,  for Paula at Lost in Translation.

Thursday’s Special: Pick a Word in January – y3

Go to Paula, Lost in Translation, and pick a word or two from her five suggestions! I picked festive (midsummer dance many years ago), angular (a famous monastery, Varnhem) and  auricomous (monkeys at Auckland Zoo).

The words are candescent, algid, angular, auricomous and festive

Varnhem

Auricomous – blonde

 

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: YOUR BEST PHOTO IN 2017

So, we are asked by Paula at Lost in Translation, to post again – our best shot from 2017. My choice are the few shots of Elliot’s Storm Petrel that I managed to catch from our boat in the Galapagos Islands. Long waiting and hundreds of shots – made for these two dancers. One photo in the shadow of the boat and the other on the sunny side. No perfection…but I treasure them very much.

 

 

Thursday’s Special: Darkness and Light

“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 it’s direct opposite does not also exist.”

Laurell K. Hamilton, Incubus Dreams

For Paula, an early morning, driving up the mountains of Gran Canaria.
