Welcome to Week 40 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge. Last week, everyone had a lot of fun playing with fire (in images, of course!), which made for a great array of magnificent posts. Thanks to all who participated and the readers who enjoyed the posts!
Yes, this week is a radical departure from the past number of weeks; it’s time to look past cold and hot items to something that generates internal warmth: Animals! My challenge to you is to show animals having fun doing what they love. I’m sure that your creative energies will come up with some really interesting posts, and I’m definitely looking forward to them!
Here’s an example that shows our old man, Darwin, having a great time on the see-saw; he was only 9 years old in this photo and hasn’t been competing for several years (he still has fun, though!)…

This shot was one from Darwin’s many agility competitions; he enjoyed his agility for many years! As you can tell from the smile on his face, there was never any shortage of fun for this dog!
The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:
- 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)!!
Looking forward to seeing the animals in your lives and what they do for their entertainment (and ours). Be creative, have fun, and always be kind to animals!
