Lost in Translation’s: Pick a Word – May 2023
Paula’s words are always interesting. I like how this month all her photos are black and white. Maybe next month I might throw in some monochromes. These words sent me down my usual nature trail with a few others who pop into my posts every now and then.
FIBROUS

MOTTLED

NATURAL

PENSIVE

SHORN

Great captures. Love the bird nest.

That fibrous birds nest looks super comfortable! I used the word pensive the other day, and the person I was talking to didn’t know the word — what a surprise that was to me!

I didn’t know “mottled”, “shorn” either… I learned something new and cute today 🙂

That’s part of the words that Paula gives us. Sometimes I see her photo, but still go to my dictionary as some words can have more than one meaning, before I add a photo.
Are you going to have a go? You don’t have to use all the words. Some people might do one or two 🙂

I might try it, yes. There are other few challenges too that I also found nice, so… will see 🙂

Good choices Brian. I particularly like Shorn the sheep!

Thanks Graham. The sneaky thing is that it is a Dorper Sheep and the wool just falls off. Funny breed and quite popular here as they don’t have a fleece to get sodden in the rain we have here.

Just falls off? can you collect it? Make wool?

I guess so seeing it is wool. I think it more of a filler type wool. Like doona’s – quilt in the US Maybe Eiderdown without the ducks feathers and wool used instead 🙂

Great illustrations for the words. I am partial to that almost naked sheep – still wearing its eye patch.

Thanks Elke. Dorper sheep are quite strange. Their wool falls off and their black beads can come in a variety of styles 🙂
