my journey to the Alphabet Land (day U)

(Edited)

ucover.jpg

My post goes for #AlphabetHunt challenge by @barbara-orenya. This week we had to find words starting with letter "U". It didnt became a problem to find my six tropheys, especially having ubiquitous umbrellas all around. This week turned out to be a special, cause Barbara has a birthday.** Happy, Happy Birthday to you,** my dear friend! I wish a lot of sunshine, flowers and snails always surround you (sorry that none of these things is starting from U).

U — Unicorn

5580w.jpg

Unicorn is one of the 1st things that come to my mind on U-demand. Pretty strange, isnt it? Unlike the dinosaur, I have lots of unicorn pictures -- due to the fact that a lot of other folks share my love to those mythical creatures. I have in my archive this photo of unicorn, the greatest of them all. Unfortunately, its not my work but I could not stand the Temptation to share it with you, my friends. This is a work of contemporary St.Petersburg photographer Mikhail Burlatsky.

U — Used

used_9323w.jpg

I found this funny pic of used candies in my archive.

8950ww.jpg

The last photo of a used mask has another intresting word in it: 'Ubiquitous'. Used masks today is really well-spread and ubiquitous shit on the streets... I do not use it as my active vocabulary.

U — Useless

A simple word that can go well with so many different intresting things! I choose this useless bicycle. It cant ride anywhere, one cant even sit on it. It is suitable for nothing!

useless_7485w.jpg

U — UK boy

ukboy_4483.jpg

A graffity I noticed on the streets of St.Petersburg. I have a suspicion nobody can have the same entry this week, well, the chances are below zero ;)

U — Univercity

Just a random encounter on the street brought me to this entry. I use different tactics of wordhunting, one of them is just looking around at the streets, and catching all that passes by close to me enought. Well, since I am using 150mm telephoto most of the time...
PS. Same with UK boy graffity.

U — Ugli milkcap

IMG_2023w.jpg

In Russian these mushrooms are named 'Gruzd'. I really dont know why they got such a strange name as 'Ugly milkcap'. Well, I understand the 'milkcap' part, but why 'ugly'?.. no idea. Those mushrooms love to hide in the soil, they are real pro at playing hide-and-seek with Setero.

IMG_2902wlttr.jpg

U — Umbrellas

And of course umbrellas! This time first thing goes in the last row... or better say, no go at all: I decided to omit them from my hunt, although I managed to accumulate a half-dozen of umbrellas since the challenge have started: it is no exclusive stuff at all

:)

All the images taken by me, as always (except one). See you next time with letter 'V'

maybe they dont occure in your forests, I can easily imagine that. But even if they do, they are hard to find -- they do hide so well in the soil!

Got to say that ubiquitous is a new word for me. About the ugly mushroom, well it does not look ugly to me. You are real hunter spotting the words on the street. 😀

agree, the Milk Cap has very lovely outlook, with good lighting and water dews it can look beautiful. maybe need some help from native speakers to find out -- why ugly ?!

I have to confess your unicorn is prettiest than mine, and the art photography is beautiful too !
I like you illustration of the word Useless with this bicycle...well done ! 😉
I do not understand why ubiquitous could apply to the mask though...can you exlain me ? Isn't ubiquity the faculty to be at many places in the same time ..?
Poor mushroom that has a a so explicite name ! 😄

'ubiquitous' is an adjective to express the well-spread condition of somethin, a thing, phenomen, fashion etc. since the masks are the top fashion this season, the used / weared / wasted-out masks I see a lot, being left all across the streets, thats why I label it with this word.

I am glad you enjoyed the unicorn, indeed he is pretty - but I cant see yours! :/ as I commented above, for unknown reason this part of your post is not displayed to me! strange.

Ooh now that I have translated with Google, I can see what it means here ... I was a bit lost because in french we only speak of ubiquity which is the faculty of being simultaneously on many places at the same time... ok, that makes sense 😉

A typical @qwerrie post - unusual as always, but never uninteresting or better said your posts provide useful knowledge and information to us 😊

I can't understand the people.

indeed! I refuse to understand this dirty and rubbish-producing behaviour pattern too. why?! why they doing this, when trash-bins are everywhere and a mask is not as heavy as 3 empty !BEER bottles packet... so weird.

glad you enjoyed the post, happy to entertain you with intresting and unusual visuals.

Your posts are always something special my friend 😁

It's not only the masks. People don't care if there's a trash bin. They just let their rubbish fall, no wonder Mother Nature is mad at us.

солёные чёрные грузди - это вкусно! Не зря и черви их очень любят. А собирать их удобно = часто растут плантациями. А где зонтики? Не нашёл их на фото...

зонтиков нету. это я так мрачно пошутил, к тому что в каждом посте этой недели (в игре алфавиной) - зонтики. неинтересно, скучно, то же самое.

в этом году груздей набрать не получилось. на даче - в проверенных местах искал, где грибница точно есть - выросло всего два (!) гриба. курам на смех...

здорово, интересно услышать такое определение. я его не просто не пробовал, а даже ни разу не находил еще. во всяком случае, в создательном возрасте. и думал, что они у нас не сильно распространены. а вы часто зонтики находите? может, места надо знать?

в Лен.области они тоже не попадаются. У меня есть возможность бывать в лесах Белоруссии. Там их много. Если жарить на подсолнечном масле(в панировочных сухарях) - то вкус рыбы! Когда первый раз меня угощали, так на этом купили. Не угадал, что это грибы. Если жарить на сливочном масле, похоже на курицу. А если жарить на сале, то как отбивная из свинины...

хорошая версия. но "уродливые" это скорее несколько другое семантическое ядро. в сердцах в обиде, люди скорее бы выразились иначе: "вот сволочи!" или попросту "гады!", а не "какие вы некрасивые и невкусные, мы даже вовсе и не собирались вас искать"
:)))
но все равно соглашусь с вами - хорошая версия! тем более за неимением никаких других. спасибо за ценный комментарий!

Always Unique @qwerrie, you really found some Unusual U-letter words! I love that photograph of the Unicorn, quite amazing, and you always manage to find Mushrooms everywhere, this one really a strange one!
Really a lovely hunt @qwerrie;)

чёрный груздь в засолке шикарен, ещё и цвет меняет.
Хорошая подборка. А фантики не в руке "таджика"? )) Пальцы характерные.

не, это мальчик нашего друга семьи, младше нашей дочки. лет 5-6 ему здесь наверное.
спасибо, рад что фотки понра, но твой "букет Т" все равно был покруче :)
в прошлом лете груздей удалось набрать на нешем участке (в этот раз выросло всего два гриба!) и главное уговорить жену закатать одну баночку. постояла в холодильнике и расцвела толстой шапкой белой плесени.. так и не довелось попробовать, выкинули. увы. я смустно помню, что на вкус они должны быть шикарны. хех...

да, забыл, ещё детская рука бывает с такими пальцами))
из 3-х грибов ничего не закатаешь))
А если солить, то закатывать и не надо:тряпочка, дощечка и под гнёт (камень в целлофане). А если сверху по грибам положишь лист хрена зелёный, то плесени долго не будет, съесть успеешь уже))

пасибо, это ценно. главное, систематическая практика чтоб эти ноу-хау претворяла в практические навыки. а ее то как раз и нет.
пс. хрена у нас на даче не растет, ни у нас ни у соседей, взять неоткуда. разве что купить заранее.

для соления подходят любые грибы. Можешь практиковаться на чём угодно))
меня тут друг солёными белыми угостил. Вот никогда не ел вкуснее гриба. Мясистый, нежный, душистый.
