When I first saw this theme…

…I immediately thought of this

form of communication.


Then nonverbal came to mind.

Definite signs of tenderness and caring

for each other are being exhibited.

Without context this is simply an image of two birds.

These two would look at each other and

exchange a few words, as in this photo.

They would then look straight ahead

while furiously bobbing their heads up and down.

When they had ‘laughed’ at the joke

they would start another story,

repeating the cycle every thirty seconds or so.

Must have been short jokes.

 

When ears are shaken in this manner,

know that you have been warned.

This elephant is definitely wanting its own

space and is telling tourists to get lost,

in no uncertain manner.

If unheeded the next move is to

lay the ears flat against its head and charge.

 

This youngsters parents were asking her

to stop so I could take my photos.

I felt her reply was not

a come hither gesture, however,

it is just another form of

nonverbal communication.

Word-of-Day-Challenge-Gesture

~~~~~

gesture

a movement of part of the body,
especially a hand or the head,
to express an idea or meaning.

This gesture left us in no doubt as to

what this young lady thought of

her parents’ request…

…not to walk in front of my camera.

 

I’m sure I would have received more

than a gesture had I done that

when I was the same age.

How times change.

Alaskan letters and numbers this week.

Probably the last thing I expected to see

in Alaska…an Australian opal miner

selling his wares.

Just had to have a chuckle.

 

I think America still measures

distance in miles.

Either way, miles or kilometres,

it makes you realise how far away home is.
