Welcome to episode 28 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge! From the very sweet theme of last week, I thought it might be a good week to turn back to Nature and share some of what you find to be Nature’s Beauty!

Nature flaunts her beauty all around us, so that it is entirely up to us individually to recognize it and capture it with our cameras.  Therefore the challenge to you is to find some examples of the beauty that you find in Nature and present it in such a way that it cannot help but convince each of us that it is truly beautiful!

This image is from a recent trip to the Netherlands when I found this natural beauty just outside the Botanical Garden of the Technical University in Delft.

Bird of Paradise

This is one of the showiest flowers out there, and it never fails to make me stand in awe of the astonishing constructs that come from nature.

For those who’d like to participate in this weekly challenge, the rules are the following:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

For those who’d like to participate in this weekly challenge, the rules are the following:

I’m confident that there will be lots of fun images that truly show off the best of Nature!  Remember to have fun and use your creativity!!

Technical Details
