Krobylos

Definition: https://www.encyclo.co.uk/meaning-of-krobylos

Sitting at the breakfast table this morning was a very unsuspecting model for this word that a very few of us are trying to photograph this month! I saw my shot......and took it! He has no idea!

[Diana]

Oh you are so clever Katy, what a crazy word that I have never before heard!

[Susan Wakely]

Haha a great opportunity.

[Taffy]

LOL!

[Joan Robillard]

nice

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Your link didn't work for me, so I looked it up and this is what I got!

Noun. krobylos (plural krobyloi) (historical) An ancient Athenian hairstyle in which the hair was rolled up into a kind of knot on the crown of the head, and fastened with golden clasps in the shape of grasshoppers.

LOL I rather doubt the Grand Chap wears his hear like that, so I'm not sure what definition you're going by, but I get a chuckle out of the fact you were able to take this sneaky shot without him knowing it.

[Kathy A]

I’m totally confused as well @olivetreeann

[Kathy]

Haha! Yup. Bedhead for sure.

[Corinne C]

Lol, a fun capture for sure

[Phil Howcroft]

nice macro !

[Maggiemae]

@olivetreeann Loved what you said here, Ann! The word itself sounds very Greek!

[katy]

@olivetreeann the link will work if you open the picture but will not work if you only use the feed to view and comment. Your definition was not the one I found first which is why the photo doesn't go as well with what you found but does go more with the one I found

@kjarn @maggiemae see above

[Kathy A]

I still cant get the link to work so I googled and I see what you saw - A tuft of hair on the top of the head @olivetreeann

[Marilyn Wigen]

The photo that accompanied the definition “tuft of hair on the top of the head” was a duck ( https://pixels.com/featured/bad-hair-day-sam-rino.html?product=fleece-blanket&blanketType=blanket-coral-50-60 )
But I can definitely identify with the Grand Chap’s morning hairstyle! 😂

[Brian]

LOL

@ludwigsdiana @wakelys @taffy @joansmor @olivetreeann @kjarn @randystreat @corinnec @phil_howcroft @maggiemae @marilyn @briaani finally figured out what I did wrong with the link. I am so sorry for all the confusion. It should work now and thanks to all who took the time to leave a comment.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@grammyn well...still couldn't access the link but I did manage to find the definition you found in a U.K. dictionary somewhere. When I clicked on that link- it still wouldn't connect. So I don't think it's you- it's either my computer or that website. Who knows!

[katy]

@olivetreeann I am so terribly sorry! As you know, I am quite challenged by technology, so I’m still possibly doing something very wrong and have no idea how to fix it. Thanks for letting me know.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@grammyn No, I don't think it's you- I think it's something on my end.

[Laura]

Great photo.

[katy]

@la_photographic that’s so nice of you to say Laura

[Diane]

Great discussion on the meaning of "krobylos!" Way to grab a sneaky shot.

[katy]

@eudora I wish I had messed it up so badly at the beginning but thank you so much Diane. He very often is oblivious to everything around him which makes it kind of easy to get a sneaky shot.
