This is, in fact, not a ZEPHYR, but a zither! I remember owning a little one when I was a kid.Since a ZEPHYR is actually the west wind, a gentle breeze, any of various soft light fabrics, yarns, or garments, or something that is airy, insubstantial, or passing I felt quite challenged. Thanks are owed to NoRegrets for her very creative choice!
It is blazing hot here right now. No breezes, gentle or otherwise. And everything I see seems dully substantial, although no doubt this too shall pass. hee hee! So, I decided to take pictures of a couple of things at my house that could create a breeze if called upon.
This is the ceiling fan in my living room. It stirs the air in a gentle ZEPHYR. Or, um, it would it it were working properly. Yes.
Pictured here is the swamp cooler in Social Animal's room. It is ZEPHYR-tastic! For some reason it looks a bit grimy here, and I am sure it couldn't possibly be that filthy, could it? No, certainly not.Thank you for joining me in this attempt at a light, airy post! Only I could make it a bit cumbersome and dirty. *sigh* Oh, and NoRegrets has tagged your friend, and mine, Evil-E to chose for next week. Pay him a visit, if you dare.

Yes, when ceiling fans work, they do tend to create gentle, refreshing breezes throughout the rooms!
Those photos are soooo dirty! Not safe for the internet! ;) Hehe.
Very good. Everybody so far has done a great job with this odd little word. I did like the inclusion of the zither to start off.
I have a word or two in ind right now...I am leaning towards a certain theme for the whole week next week.
I found the same definitions as you and went pretty literally.
Great job!
Tara: Having things work is sort of hit and miss with me.... as is dirt :-)
Evil-E: Thanks! A theme for the whole week? Sounds great to me...count me in.
Cricket: It was a toughie. Thank you :-)
Nice! I also like your new avatar...
heh heh... you said "swamp cooler." heh heh. heh heh.
= : - )
I don't own a zither, but I do have ceiling fans and a window air conditioner. Very cool choices for this week's word.
Well done! You got out of that one well!
I do like your pic of a zither though.
We used to have a swamp cooler when I lived in Arizona. it's too humid to use them in Iowa, but I still remember that loamy smell they produce.
NoRegrets: Thanks :-) I like to change it up now and then.
MiniJonB: ha! I could have called it an evaporative cooler, but don't hold with such fancy talk round here....
AlienCG: Something around here had to be cool. If this is what summer is going to be like I'm scared!
Daffy: Sometimes I have to use what little wits I can gather for this game ;-)
Churlita: I don't know what we'd do without them. I sure can't afford to run central air through the summer!
Swamp cooler? No AC? I have never heard of a zither in my life!!!
