Theme Thursday and I'm in a rush! What a surprise.
WRINKLE. Hmmmm.
Wrin·kle. Noun. (rngkl)
Hmmmm.
"1. A small furrow, ridge, or crease on a normally smooth surface, caused by crumpling, folding, or shrinking."
Hmmmm. No.
"2. A line or crease in the skin, as from age."
No.
"3. A clever trick, method, or device, especially one that is new and different."
Closer. Far closer.
"4. A problem or imperfection; a fault."
GOT IT!
Combine four and three and I can link today's theme with the photo chosen randomly last week.
An unsteady hand, low levels of light and an unpredictable bus schedule lead to a series of photographs that exhibited a WRINKLE (that is, WRINKLE as outlined in definition four).
My WRINKLE (see definition three), was to utilise
So your verdict, did I manage it this week?
One thing that I have noted - and something for all you etymologists out there, is that WRINKLE comes from Middle English, probably from Old English gewrinclod, the past participle of gewrinclian, which means "to wind, or crease".
It shall be my personal crusade to rescue GEWRINCLOD from the rubbish bin of history!

Kris, I think you got it!!
Very well done...I love the photo.
Well defined!
Great picture - and may your gewrinclods be few and thin :-)
...*chuckle*... you got it.
You certainly did manage it. Stunning image!
When the picture first began forming I thought you had taken a picture of Brain Coral. What a novel approach to take time lapse pictures without the time lapse. I like it.
actually the picture is amazing...so yeah, you did well. and what is this word you have been bandying around "ger..."
consider yourself the rescuer of gewrinclod!! and please ignore my comment to your comment on the mouse should you go over to follow up...
i am going to try incorporating it into my vocabulary!
I dub you Sir Rescuer! Now go and rescue more. Heh, heh.
''your verdict, did I manage it this week?''
Why, yes, yes you did.
;-)
Great photo. Maybe we could call our wrinkles "windings" instead. Wait, I haven't been winding my face...have I?
Magpie, it wasn't so impressive untouched...
Crazyasa, thank you dictionary!
Anthony, I'm not sure that I have any... yet.
Julie, hurrah!
Lorenzo, very 1985.
Roddy, brain coral. Yum.
Brian, the answer is in the post!
Kimy, we need to reclaim it!
Roy, I do have a list.
Nancy, good.
Leeuna, windings is good.
Great gewrinclod on the Theme Thursday topic. Thanks fro dropping by to visit and comment on my TT. Always nice to get introduced to another blogger.
MM, it's a big ol' world!
You've left that crazy looking word on everyone's blog today! I'm glad I finally made it here to find out what you were talking about! LOL!
Oh yes. This wrinkle is so very good! -j
Wow! For someone "in a rush," you did an amazing job with this one.
I don't know how you guys do it but I love it. I love the colors and energy. My husband is a photographer and he did an exercise like this on Flickr and it turned out so cool.
Nice job.
ok now I know what that word means - duh!!!
happy wrinkles
I loved this Kris! Two new words and some insight into how your mind works.
Great gewrinclod post.
Thanks for dropping by to visit on TT.
Yep, definitely managed. My night shotsare similarly wrinkled more often than not! I'm having enough trouble dealing with crows feet and now I have gerwrinclods?
Thanks all. Jeez I'm behind!
