My next post for the #AlphabetHunt challenge by @barbara-orenya. Maybe the last one. This week we had to find words starting with letter X, Y, Z. I already posted the X stuff in separate post, here are my Y tropheys.
Y — Yellow submarine
This one require no comments, I think. All of you are in the know what the Yellow Submarine is, and where it arrived from?.. This one appeared at St.Petersburg at the ceremony of museum opening, back in 2019 -- and thats where I nailed it.
Y — Yearling
Another easy word to remember: a one-year infant is named 'yearling'. On the photos above you see my babygirl at the end of first year of her life, i.e. she is a yearling here. There is a petting nickname analogue of this word in Russian, which sounds like 'Godovasik'. Caressing, petting word.
This was the 1st birthday cake. Not related to this post subject at all, but this Memory Feels Good!
Happy father I was.
Y — Yacht
Some of you live by the sea, and will not be surprised with a yachts' visuals. But since I don’t travel much, for me this is a rarity: yachts cant be seen on the streets of my city. Captured this image at the Ladoga lake skerries back in 2007.
Y — Yardwork
A piece of winter for you here.
Y — Yves Delorme
Y — Yandex
Have you heard of a Yandex, no? But you do know about the Google, right? So, basically, Yandex is the Russian Google. It is a cool IT-company that worked out the internet search technology, made IPO, and by the end of 2000-es became the leading player of a Russian internet segment. It developed a lot of useful services thru years and accumulated a huge financial resources; it became as divercified business, as Google. Now one can order a fast food delivery thru Yandex service, order a Yandex taxi, listen to music from Yandex servers (if you dont like apple or spotify), watch a movie from Yandex.Cinema, and more, more, much more.
Invitation ad to use Yandex Food delivery service above (I found the week before on the street) and a Yandex.Go courier photo I took last month, below.
I could add as well a Yandex.Taxi photo, Yandex.Market or Yandex.Maps screenshots (the service I actually use most of them all), but it would requitre a separate post, and a pretty elongated one. I am sure, you got the idea: Yandex is an octopus, it has a lot of tentacles of different direction, length and thicknesses. Is it an Evil Beast? Well, thru all the 2000-es it was not!
All the images taken by me, as always. This round I found more Y words then I actually illustrated and fit into the post. They are:
yardstick / yeast / yellowtail / yielding / yoga / yoga / yogurt / yokelish / yuppie plant
Those are all good things... but nobody can fit an unfittable, right?
Как говорил мой старый наставник-редактор: "Нельзя впихнуть невпихуемое!
I created an index to my posts for this great challenge.
