Today's word is Encircled. Funnily, what came into my mind straight away was Cowboy and Indian films. Ha! When the Cowboys made their wagons into a circle, so encircling the families and trying to keep them safe from the arrow shooting Indians! Then Stonehenge came into my mind, the stones encircling the sacred area. Then an image l took the other day came into mind and l knew this was the one l wanted to use to illustrate today's word. I was at Waterloo station, travelling across the walk-way to Waterloo East side when l saw it. On a door in a side corridor was a window, that encircled a piece of the outside world! I think this is a very poetic way of looking at the word but l love it!

Hello and thank you so much for visiting me and for your kind words.:)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea behind this blog, mostly as I am very visual and I perceive the world in images and likewise associate every word with images and colours.
Very poignant post.
Have a lovely Sunday,
