This week’s WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is CLOSE. My go-to desk dictionary, Webster’s NewWorld Dictionary, which I acquired long before the end of the last century, lists over 50 definitions for close or closed, not including idiomatic expressions.
Sometimes close can mean nearby, in proximity to another object:
That nearness can mean a “close up” if your camera is ready:
Sometimes close means the opposite of open, as in No Entrance! No Admittance! Go Away!
ClosedĀ can refer to something that has been ended, usually permanently:
But being closed may only mean that something hasn’t opened yet:
Close can refer to the end of the day:
Sometimes being close matters:
Sometimes being closeĀ means everything.

What a great, diverse galley of images!
LOVE that last picture especially. Makes me smile.
Thanks, Naomi. That’s my niece and BiL. It was such a happy day — I don’t think either of them stopped smiling once that day!

Thanks, eof!

lovely shots – can not decide which one I like the most
Thank you Rosa. My fav is the last one, but I can’t separate personal emotions from that one!
Nice interpretation of all the possible meanings, it was a bit vague this week but you conquered that well š
Sometimes I find the ones that require a lot of interpretation to be the most fun — although they vex me for a bit until I get an idea on how to approach them.
Yes I understand, I have only recently started participating in the challenges, but I am enjoying it.
Great images!!!
Thanks, LaVie.
