The word for Tuesday 04.05.2010 is MIRROR IMAGE
Today's word is Mirror Image. I had to go to The Sleep Clinic today, up in town (Central London)to collect a light box and a wrist clock to record my sleep patterns. On the way up on the train, l just couldn't think what l would do for today's word. Then as we got the entrance to St. Thomas's Hospital, we were face to face with this amazing sculpture...my mirror image! Success!! I really am in love with this piece. If you look at it from some angles, you can see through the metal pieces. It is a huge sculture. I couldn't see who the artist is or the title but l will carry on the search!
mirror imagenounan image or object that is identical in form to another, but with thestructure reversed, as in a mirror.• a person or thing that closely resembles another : the city was the mirror image of Algiers.

The word for Monday 03.05.2010 is CONTORT.
Todays word is CONTORT. This word worried me for a while. All l could think of was a dancer, a gymnast or someone from the circus! Not something l was going to see on my walk today l didn't imagine! Today we decided to go to see a park, we had heard about but had never been. It is Wimbledon Park...great place, tennis courts, bowls green, wonderfully safe and interesting children's play areas and a huge lake with sailing on it. Amazing place, where l saw children doing amazing things on climbing frames ect but l was unable to take images of them for obvious reasons. Anyway, after a gentle walk, Tony and l headed back to the mini and as we reached the gate, l was fasinated by a tree that had some fungi growing at its base. Being the curious person l am, l wondered if there was another group on the otherside of the trunk. No.... but then l noticed a crack running quite a way up the tree and in the crack was a fungi contoiured inside the trunk. I had my image!

The word for Saturday 01.05.2010 is COMPLICATED.
I seem to be very busy these days and keep forgetting to do this post. I am going to see if l can do it each day for this week..if not l'll stop. Fingers crossed l manage because l actually enjoy creating this blog each day. I find that l do think more about my art and photography since l started this daily word and image blog!
Well back to buisness. Todays word is COMPLICATED.
I think of complicated as meaning confusion, not easy to understand or something involving many parts. The image l have chosen for this word is a pylon. I saw this at Merton Mills and was intrigued with it. It is not often you are able to actually get this close to a pylon, let alone stand underneath it. So l took the oppurtunity to take quite a few images from many angles! I found it quite complicated trying to see which bits were connected to which section. When there is a blue sky next, l intend to go back and take so more images The reason being I want to see what the difference will be, between these images with a grey sky and ones with blue. For instance, with a blue sky will the image be so dramatic?.

The word for Tuesday 08.03.2010 is SUPPORT
Sorry folks, it has been over a week since l lasted posrted but it has been a stressful time in my life. My husband had his heart shocked last monday and fingers crossed..it seems to have worked!! He is getting stronger by the day thankfully. Secondly, l had my parents and my sister here for 3 days, as my dad is appointed a MBE for his charity work. So l had little time to do my blogging..but l am back and l hope my followers will still be here to follow me again!!
TODAY'S WORD IS SUPPORT.
Support to me, could mean to hold someone up by your arms or by giving them emotional support. It could also mean supporting say, a falling wall with wooden supports (!) to hold it up. Could also mean that a school is supporting a failing child, by giving him extra tutoring, for instance. I thought this was a good start, so off l went, with my camera. After a while, l came across the image l wanted. There is a piece of machinery standing in the River Thames, just after Putney Bridge. This piece of machinery is being supported by 4 large metal/wooden poles, one at each corner of the platform. I have no idea what it is there for but l am sure l will find out later this week! I also love the bright orange and red that the structure is painted in, really brightens up the river!

The word for Saturday 18.04.2010 is JARDINIERE
Today's word is Jardiniere. Luckily this afternoon, we went to a garden centre at Morden Hall! It is a National Trust place that has a tearoom, a garden centre and amazing gardens, a water wheel, educational stuff and so on. So it was quite easy to choose an image for today's word. Before l checked in the dictionary, l thought it was a decorated container for living plants. Not far off actually but l also learnt it could also mean a garnish of mixed vegetables! You might learn something new every day on this blog..l frequently do!HA!

The word for Saturday 17.04.2010 is PACIFIER
Today's word is Pacifier. Um... l thought to myself, that means to give a person or baby some thing to keep them quiet or calm them down. I suppose that means a dummy! Have you noticed that you often see teenagers with a dummy in their mouth? I suppose it was started by Jordan ( the model!!), when she was seen sucking one, in her programme "What Katie did next" fly on the wall documentary! I know some woman do it to try and stop themselves smoking but honestly it looks so stupid to me! Dummies are for babies to hopefully, stop them crying or helping to ease their pain of teething. My children are grown up and l have no grandchildren yet...so...where l was l going to get an image of a dummy, other than in a wrapper in Boots? Then..there was my image on the road byside the bus stop l was waiting at! Once again, someone up there is looking after me!Ha!
....................................................................................................................................................................
pacifier |ˈpasəˌfīər|nouna person or thing that pacifies.• a rubber or plastic nipple for a baby to suck on.
