Natural Feature Photos

Question

Ok lets have another go at sharing photos but sticking within the guidelines for games with out someone officially checking each post.

One word titles only please

So this doesn't have to be in alphabetical order order it's a chance to share some of your photos and expand our vocab at the same time.

To post your image you will need to have it preloaded onto a photosharing site such as flickr, photobucket, facebook etc - you then right click on the image, click on 'copy image address' and post that into the usual photo url box here.

The only criteria are - you must have taken the picture, it must be a natural feature and it must have a one word title in Spanish and English. Or I'm thinking we may be allowed a couple of words in the title if necessary. After all it'd be nice to know what it is and where the photo was taken - well let's give it a go and see if the moderators are happy with it

Here's one to start us off.

Montaña y Helecho Arbório

Mountain & Tree Fern (photo taken in Taranaki, New Zealand)

I like this thread - ¡buena idea! - kirstenalexander, Jul 4, 2010

Gracias :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 4, 2010

Yes, excellent idea. - MacFadden, Jul 4, 2010

Glad you like it, we had a bit of a false start the other day not quite keeping to the 'no moderator rules' but hopefully we've got it right this time :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 4, 2010

You can easily avoid breaking the posting rules -- You won't need a moderator if there are no sentences that require correcting by a senior SD member. A-Z games don't require a moderator because the particpants only post a vocabulary word...not sentences - --Mariana--, Jul 4, 2010

Category again, marie, this was said before, and the mod need not be a senior member but a proficient speaker of Spanish who can offer some corrections, and I woul dhave appreciated if you had come back at me with this thread first. - 00494d19, Jul 4, 2010

Sorry Heidita, I did take on board your comments before and tried to make this one fit the rules by requesting one word titles. - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 4, 2010
