Take a Word Challenge - Peacock

This week our host, Linda, has provided this stunning peacock picture to inspire us.  Thankyou, Linda, it's superb!!

The theme is  PEACOCK, suggested by Linda.
Google Images has a great collection of peacock images. Closeups of the tail make great backgrounds  and a single feather makes a nice flourish in any artwork. The bird itself comes in many forms - photos, clipart, cartoons. Have fun

Take a Word Challenge - MASCULINE

This week our theme word is MASCULINE.  This photo is from my own family album.  The male is my Great Uncle Paul (by marriage) and, yes, he was a big headed, opinionated man, although I admit using some trickery  art to inflate his noggin.  We can't wait to see YOUR masculine images.

Take a Word Challenge - Regal

Our theme word this week is REGAL.  Yvonne is our guest host (thankyou, Yvonne).  She set me the impossible task of choosing from four different pictures.  I couldn't do it so have included all four.  Yvonne's imagination has taken her to four different meanings of "regal" so beautifully that I knew you would be inspired by each one.
