The Final Hunt is on! Don't miss out on this!!
Hello Alphabet Hunters. This week we hunt for words ending in X Y Z, with these 3 letters combined to ease the level of the difficulty of the Challenge. Nevertheless, it still is a daunting task and I am quite excited to see what your catches for this final week will be. Special thanks to @barbara-orenya for this wonderful initiative. Please click on the link here to know more about this Challenge. You can still join in this final hunt. Next week will be too late. So get your thinking caps on and go for it if you haven't participated yet!
So here it is. My final hunt trophies.
The first word is an "X" for Xing
Dictionary.com defines Xing as a crossing used especially on road signs like "Deer Xing" or "Pedestrian or People Xing". These photos were taken pre-Covid19 in one of my walks downtown.
In our city, pedestrian crossings or lanes are observed strictly. Traffic enforcers do not hesitate to fine those jaywalking and those drivers who block the xing.
The second word is another "X" for XPander
I was following this vehicle on my way to a client when I noticed the model. It's a Mitsubishi XPander, a mini van type that seats 7 passengers. I said, "Perfect for the last hunt!"
Photo above shows how this vehicle looks like from afar.
The third word is a "Y" for Yellow Fin Tuna
This is the tuna variety of choice for the Japanese dish Sashimi. It's a dish of bite-sized pieces of raw fish eaten with soy sauce and wasabi paste. In our city, the tail, belly and jaws are the next sought after parts of this tuna as they are just super delicious when grilled. These Yellow Fin Tuna can grow up to 60 to 80 kilograms in weight. They are so called because of the small yellow fins protruding along they're spines.
The fourth word is another "Y" for Yellow Flowers
Photo above is a Yellow Bell from our garden.
This is our neighbor's sunflower. He only has one plant but boy, is it a prolific one blooming incessantly and numerously. He actually gave me some seeds from the dried flowers so I can grow my own when he saw me taking pictures of the plant.
This flower grows in our garden but I do not know what it's called. The flowers are so small that a bunch would fit in the palm of my hand. Do tell, if anyone knows what this is called.
The fifth word is a "Z" for Zebra Cactus
These are Haworthia Fasciata or Zebra Cactus. They're small succulent houseplants that look fantastic in stylish containers. Very easy to care for and needing only reasonable light and a watering every once in a week.
The sixth word is another "Z" for Zeus The Blind Owl
Photo above shows a finished painting of this famous blind owl (he has an FB page you can follow) by my daughter which was bought by a relative and now hangs auspiciously in her office.
The next photos show my daughter working on the portrait. She used colored pencils for this one.
And that's it for this hunt. I want to thank you all for joining me in this very fun and wonderful challenge. Let's hope a new one comes along soon. Thank you @barbara-orenya for this initiative. I only have wonderful memories of this challenge. Stay safe everyone and may you all have a blessed weekend!
