Thanks to everyone who brought us some earth last week – it was a word that prompted a variety of interpretations.
I’m still travelling so no links to last week’s entries, I’m afraid. And apologies if I didn’t manage to visit you last week.
Next week’s theme will be viewpoint.
Other forthcoming themes are listed here, and to see previous weeks of this challenge, click here

so cool – each pic but the header one was my fav
and here is my entry –
a very tiny purple fish with lots of other colors.
Hope it counts okay – but it kept looking at me and the purple is the word of the week….

It certainly counts, but I loved your whole post – books are heaven , and I love hanzi / kanji – pictures that can tell us a lot about the interpretation of an object.

We have some great light shows in London now – that plus food and theatre and shopping make it a good pre-Christmas break
