Welcome to Week 44 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge. After such a great set of contributions for last week’s theme of Mirror, I definitely felt the pressure to come up with another worthy theme…

But then, I do have a little help today, as it is Valentine’s Day, which for many of us is a reminder of love!  That’s why this week’s theme is the Color of Love.

Note that I’m not telling you which color to use for this challenge, as it’s not the same color for each of us; what I do challenge you to accomplish in your image(s) is that you portray something about love in it (them).  Plenty of freedom to be creative, which I think each of you is highly capable of accomplishing!

When I think about what color represents love for me, I tend to go towards the warmth that we feel with love; warm tones that feel like an embrace from someone really special, an embrace that you would like to have last for time eternal…

Autumn Serenity

As you can tell in this image, Autumn colors were in full regalia; it is a season that I truly love, especially with a bit of Sun playing through the foliage, drawing that soft focus out of me.  Soft, warm, loving…

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)!!

I know that I am going to love all of your contributions to this week’s challenge.  Let love be your guide, and may you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

  3. This will be an interesting challenge.

    My wife and I do not celebrate Valentine’s Day. From our perspective, it’s a “holiday” invented (no different thatn “craft beer day”) for commercial purposes and has basis in historical fact. We also think it’s silly to set aside ONE day in an entire year to express our love. What about the other 364 days?

    I think I have the preamble to my post on “Color of Love”. 🙂

    Now, what shall I shoot ….?

    1. Interesting, as my wife and I really don’t celebrate it either. No need to give each other a card for something that we already express during the entire year 🙂

      Plus, I always found the concept rather macabre, as it celebrates a priest who was beheaded for performing marriage ceremonies…

      Have a wonderful day!

  8. Hi Frank, here is my entry. We did get any gifts for each other. We used to do that, but not any more. I did write a poem of something my husband and I talked about a lot, and conformed each other that we’re meant to be together. Interestly, we just went to the gym, like we always do.

    1. That’s just a wonderful poem and post! Clearly, there’s much love and serendipity may have been fate…

      1. Yes, we’ll never forget how we met on that particular day… a day that changed the rest of our lives together!!

    1. Excellent post!! Love it!

  22. […] I like to think I see love, in its purest form, as white. Clean, pure and unadulterated. No expectations, but doing for another selflessly. Relationships, after all, are growing things. Being able to bloom and flourish takes nurturing. Giving love in this way is fulfilling and beautiful. And, when giving of one’s self is done purely for the sake of another’s needs, truly they reap what they do not even imagine is possible. So, be purely selfless with your love!© In Responce to~Tuesday Photo Challenge: The Color Of Love […]
