A Word A Week Challenge – Zoom
Time to break out the zoom lens or turn on the digital one as this weeks A Word A Week Challenge is Zoom. Once a week I dip into the dictionary and pick a word that the page falls open at. If you would like to take part please add a link to your post back to this one so others can follow the trail and join in or check out entries of other bloggers. Don’t forget to add a tag ‘A Word A Week Challenge’ so I can find you easily as I like to reblog some of the entries each week to share the love and highlight new bloggers on the grid. If you would like an automatic alert for this challenge each week just hit the follow button on my page.
Here are some of my attempts at using a zoom.

Stunning and more stunning …. Gallery – a whole world on one page. Fantastic. The wave – the top photo is my pick. Because of the movement in the shot.
a that would make a great word of the week – movement
Those were great – I really enjoyed seeing them. Thanks for labeling them too. The baby elephants were particularly appealing. Is that an orphanage for children that has elephants on the ground or is that for baby elephants who lost their parents?
Nancy
No they were taken at the elephant orphanage outside Kandy in Sri Lanka

After a lot of lurking here (Sue, your photos always have great subjects), I wanted to try out your challenges too…. you mention “zoom” as in zooming your camera, hope you don’t mind I used the term as a dog zooming by my camera, haha.

Thanks for liking my post about the painted churches. I can see by your photos that you also love color. In so many of these countries bright colors surround people in their clothing, food, and shelters. Our neighbor here in Oaxaca, Mexico is building a new house (buildings are all made of cement) and is painting it orange and pistachio green, which is totally gorgeous here but would be so out of place in most of the US.
Hi Marilyn – I know what you mean – so many times I brought clothes back from Asia and they just dont seem to work in the English/Australian light
Beautiful site. It re-awakened my love of photography. Thanks for checking out my blog “Dont read this blog…if you hate laughter”
thank you
The people photos are all amazing and I love the one of the lion.
thank you
Wow such beautiful people in these photos!! The one you said is an old favourite is lovely. I can see why it’s your fave!
thank you Deb
Fantastic! You’ve inspired me, and I’m now following. Thank you so much for stopping frequently at my blog. I know that takes time, and who has much of that, nowadays? So I appreciate your kindness.–M
Thank you Melissa – I alwasy make time to read other people’s blogs – you learn so much
Glad you liked “travel grievances.” Thanks. Hope you don’t really have many or any travel grievances to get to where you could take those GREAT photos.
dont get me started on travel grievances
there is always something that is a challenge when I travel 
Wow! What Pix. Wish you could illustrate my articles.
Seriously, though, thanks for liking my article.
