Welcome to Week 47 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge. Your entries for last week’s theme of Structure were an absolute joy to read and peruse!  It looks like the entries are just getting stronger every week!

For this week’s theme, I’m drawing once more from the images that I captured during a visti to Tower Hill Botanic Garden.  While I absolutely love exploring the textures and structure of leaves, there are some other things that attract my attention.  Such is the case for the image that brings us to the theme of Bloom!

The word bloom is interesting to me linguistically, as in Dutch the word for flower is bloem, which is pronounced bloom.  For that very reason, I’d encourage you to think about all the nuances that you sense when you hear the word bloom; use these to inspire your exploration of creative possibilities when you select your photos!

So here’s that image full of bloom…

Bloom!

This beautiful flower stood out among the sea of green, just beckoning to be noticed.  The only thing that was missing, were some hummingbirds to sip the nectar.

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 your entries will be blooming fantastic and fun!  Have fun unlocking those creative juices!

  15. So … nothing blooming here at the moment. This week brought rain and strong winds. I may have to visit the florist and/or use the Dutch word bloem for inspiration.

    1. You may be surprised and see something blooming indoors during your travels…
