A Word a Week Challenge: Figure

Every week Sue from ‘A Word in Your Ear’ dips into her English Oxford dictionary and picks a word on the page that it falls open at. The challenge is to post a photograph, poem, story – whatever the genre you like best to describe what that word means to you.

This week’s challenge is FIGURE (click to join in with the challenge)

The definition of FIGURE can be several things including a mathematical symbol, a person (especially a well-known one), a shape or mathematical plane (e.g. a triangle), a person, animal or object that symbolizes something or a pictorial or sculptural representation, especially of the human body.

I love the figures that are used to indicate danger on hiking trails. I hope you do too 🙂
