Welcome to Week 68 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.
First of all, thanks to each and every one of you for making last week’s theme another rousing success; it was a lot of fun to read your posts on the theme of Woods!
While the image to kick of this week’s theme is definitely based in Nature, the concept of the theme is very much a human product: Three. Correct me, if I’m wrong, but I think this is the first numeric theme in the TPC thus far. As usual, there are many ways to capture an image for this week’s theme, so open up your creative minds and go have fun with this one!!
And, yes, that image from Nature that I promised…

This one goes back about 11 years on a wonderful Autumn day. I had an inkling that the afternoon light would do something special on the almost placid waters of the Quinapoxet river, and I was not disappointed. I shot this from a rather low position, and it took what would have almost been a roll of film, 34 attempts to get these wonderful Canada geese to line up for me.
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)!!
So, don’t lose count of what you’re doing and see what comes in threes in your life during this week!

Beautiful shot. Is it 3 or 6 geese showing though ?? Ha ha:)
Drink a few pints of ale and it might be more than that. 🙂
LOL…in the Netherlands there was a campaign with a character called Joris Driepinter (George 3-pinter), but that was aimed at kids drinking milk rather than beer 🙂
Take Three!

I’m not sure how this works, but I have created a post for today’s photo. http://www.covertnovelist.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=35039&action=edit
Hopefully this will assist. I’m not sure how to do a pingback. It seems to be automatic so let’s hope.
A pingback is a link back to another post, in this case it would be https://dutchgoesthephoto.net/2017/08/01/tuesday-photo-challenge-three/ This causes WordPress to connect the two posts. No worries about this one, because when I round up all the entries for this week, I have a link to yours.
Nicely done!
Oh awesome. I’m nearly blind, so I have writing 1 1/2 inches high to read and when my son is available, he sets everything up for me so I just click, lol. Makes my life easier for sure. He’s pretty awesome about all that he does for me. I can usually do what is required if someone shows me the steps. I have to memorize them, then I’m good. Sometimes it can take a couple of tries so I’m beyond delighted it worked.
Sounds like you have a wonderful son!
I do! More than anyone else realizes. He’s probably the best man I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. And that’s saying something, proud mom or not! 🙂
Nice idea, let me have a think.
Looking forward to seeing the result!

Was it three or tree?
Here is my entry. It is Tree, but there are three so the spirit of the challenge is adhered to.

Three, tree? They rhyme!
Yes, they do.
I tried to include the tag “fpj-photo-challenge” several times but wordpress strips that tag every time. Not sure what is happening.
Odd… I have no explanation for that.
Finally it worked.
Still not sure if I’m doing this right.

This week’s theme is wonderful as its scope is a much bigger one extending into many abstract thoughts. Check out https://travel387.wordpress.com/2017/08/04/3-three/
Glad you enjoy it! Yes, by taking the concept of three, there are many ways to approach it. Nice entry!
Pleased, you like it. Thank you so much for such a great theme!
Hi Frank — I loved this challenge, thank you. It helped me to stand in a big lesson I got this past week in a coaching retreat. Sending you love, and for your wife too! Blessings, Debbie 🙂
There’s serenity in your photo.
And here are some of my kids in a photo for this challenge – https://mywordwall.wordpress.com/2017/08/04/summer-song/
