mad minute word monday - natatores

July 22nd, 2013
that's today's mad word. it's less maddening, but mad nonetheless.

the idea of Mad Minute Words is we present a strange (and/or lovely) word to you, and you draw from it as inspiration for your photo... to keep it acceptably mad, we're doing two words a week, one presented on monday and another on friday.


natatores (an entry in a 1907 The King's English Dictionary) is defined as 'the swimming birds.'

see, it's not as mad, as promised.

your photo for today's word should be posted on wednesday, july 24th.

please tag your entry mmw-natatores

you can also post your entry on this thread, if you so wish.

so, go on and give us your maddening swimming bird shots.

@summerfield I will try to remember this time. Don't know how I completely blocked out the last one, and I knew what I wanted to do. This one sounds fun too.

Darn, I should have thought of the rubber duck. I didn't see any birds near water today.
