Welcome to Week 80 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.

After enjoying all those amazing entries for last week’s theme of birds, time came once again to pick a theme!  As I went out this past weekend to do some photography at Oxbow National Wildlife Refuge, I took a look at the images from that little walk and found something that I liked.  As a result, we get the theme of Sky!

I ask you to put your creative focus skyward to capture what strikes your interest!  Whether it’s a skyline, amazing sky, a raptor circling in the sky, or any other idea you have, this week the sky’s the limit for your entries!  Have some fun with this and share some amazing shots with each other in this week’s challenge!!

Here’s that image that got me looking skyward (by looking down)…

Reflected Foliage

This image reveals part of the fun that I have shooting with a polarizing filter, as the polarizer greatly increases the depth of the blue that is reflected in the Nashua river.

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’m looking forward to seeing what catches your eye this week…

  1. Leaving a link just in case …pingback gremlins are plaguing me at the moment!

      1. You were prepared for this one 🙂

      2. Haha… yes, I may have had a couple of sky photos up my sleeve 😊

        My husband: “Why do you take so many photos of the sky”
        Me: “because I can”

      3. LMAO!! Great answer!!

    1. Beautiful shot!

    2. Same here. My post never appeared on the roundup.

      1. Khürt, never saw your link; let me search your blog and I will add you. Sorry about that!

      2. Fixed. That is an awesome post!!

      3. Hi Frank. I thought the issue was technical. Thanks for taking care of that.

      4. It’s driving me a bit nutty actually. It’s not just happening on one site but many. So now just leaving the extra link in comments as well…seems a bit neurotic but the only way to beat the gremlins…for now. Hoping next WordPress update will sort the issues.

      5. It’s been driving me up the wall; I have had WP support look at my settings and they could find nothing that should prevent pingbacks working properly.

      6. It seems to be a problem for a few of us! I find sometimes when I delete and retry the pingback it comes up the second time, but other times, no matter if I try posting from the app, the website or my laptop they won’t work. GRRRRemlins indeed!

    1. Thank you, love your post!

      1. You’re welcome. 🙂

  10. Exquisite! Looks like the sky is “upside down”.

    1. I was tempted to rotate by 180 degrees, but liked the reflected image better

      1. Yes it’s beautiful the way it is.

    1. Lovely; I like that boat! And great skies too!

      1. We miss the boat and the simplicity of the life, but know we’ve done the right things selling up. We’ve got some fabulous memories.

    1. Worked perfectly, but I’m with you that I don’t always get the results I expect from a pingback 🙂 Great post!

      1. Thank you for the lovely compliment! (and also thank you for letting me know the pingback worked.Crosses my fingers, maybe it’s all fixed now.)

  15. Awesome reflections, Frank. The colors look so alive in this lovely snap.

    1. Thank you, Hammad! Yes, a polarizing filter works wonders for popping colors.

  33. Skyward is always a nice way to look, very generous topic, and nice autumn sky and foliage, beautifully mirrored onto the smooth surface. Cute little leaves there, too, looking a bit lost… almost makes one wonder, floating on air or water?! 🙂 My entry this week takes this theme back to September blue: https://doarnicol.wordpress.com/2017/10/25/albastrul-aproape-cerulean-closeness/

    1. Thank you! Glad that you like the theme, for which you created a wonderful post.
