Lost in Translation’s Pick a Word – March 2022
Paula’s words for March may be a little difficult to convert to photos so a bit of thinking will be required.
ASPEROUS – The rough bark of an Ironbark tree
CRUSTACEOUS – Soldier Crabs scuttling along the beach at low tide
EFFUSIVE – A Noisy Friarbird singing his heart out in the morning
MOUNTED – One of my quests is to photograph birds riding cows or horses. Willie Wagtail enjoying the backward view
TRIAD – Three Grey-crowned Babblers walking along the forest floor flicking over leaves and sticks looking for insects, all the while chattering away to each other
OK that was a bit of a search to find photos as close to Paula’s words as I could

Those crabs are a bit scary. Love the bird on the cow!

They are small but there are usually hundreds. I was going to put the almost whole photo but went with the close up instead. Birds on cows is always fun 🙂 🙂

Asperous was a new word for me, but good choices for all of them.

Same here. My Australian Dictionary didn’t even have it so I had to do an internet search. Glad you like my choices Graham 🙂

It took a few searches to find it–wasn’t in Siri’s dictionaries either.
