Welcome to Week 53 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.  Exactly 364 days ago, I kicked off a new series on my blog without any idea where it might lead with this post: Tuesday Photo Challenge – Around the House.  While the post got a reasonable number of views and likes, it didn’t achieve what it set out to do, as there were no responses to that week’s challenge.  Undeterred, I followed it up with a second post the following week, which received a single pingback.

Things have grown tremendously since then due to the unflagging support from all of you!  Your responses to each week’s challenge are the lifeblood of this challenge and I’m excited to take it into its second year of existence!

Of course, the question on your minds is what this week’s theme might be…  Particularly, as I set this post’s title to Mystery.

The first anniversary challenge theme is Mystery!  Your mission, should you accept it, is to provide something in your photography or poetry or other medium of expression that relates a bit of mystery.  This could be in what you don’t share with the viewer or reader, so that you leave a part of the story up to their imagination, or it could be the central theme.

As always, you have free rein with your interpretation and direction of creative outlet, and I fully encourage you to explore to the boundaries of the mysteries of the universe!

Here’s a warm-up act to your main interpretative opus…

Mystery of the Daffodils

This image goes back 7 years to the Spring of 2010; as I drove along one of the normal detours to the office, I noticed the light playing on this cluster of daffodils.  Naturally, I had to stop and capture them, while leaving a little mystery, as to what lay beyond them.

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)!!

Very much looking forward to all of your great images!  Should be a fun week!
