Tuesday Photo Challenge – Exotic

Welcome to Week 95 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.  Thanks to all of you wonderful participants for a fun week of entries for the theme of Decay!

For this week, I thought I’d go in a bit of a different direction, and also use a more recent photo for my inspiration.  When I was in Ireland for work, I didn’t get much of a chance to wander about for some photography, but that didn’t mean that opportunity did not present itself.  As I was standing in line at the cafeteria, I observed a pair of peacocks sitting in a tree.  That’s what brought me to this week’s theme of Exotic.

Peacocks may be all over the world, but to me they still look exotic, particularly in a castle in Ireland!  If you’re up for it, share something exotic in your neck of the woods, or from an exotic locale!  I’m very much looking forward to your views of what is exotic.

Here are those peacocks…

Peacocks in Malahide

Malahide Castle is a lovely location to have meetings, particularly when I get to enjoy fantastic food in the cafeteria (it is a great place to eat!) and views, such as this!

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 your exotic fun!

    I love peacocks.
    But I have to be satisfied with the flight of the seagulls.

      Beautiful area! Looks warm and inviting. (It’s cold and snowy here 🙂 )

        I was there for three days in December, 2017. Dec 20, the fog near the river bank was so thick that you could cut it with a knife. We were lucky that we were flying out that day and accordingly planned our morning boat ride on the river the day before. Got some beautiful photos that I am planning t include in my travel post. I am just being lazy to get it all together.

    I love peacock, Frank, your peacocks are gorgeous. I had a chance to see peacocks close up also and had photos taken with a peacock. But I’ll think of something else for this post.

    Hmmm…. Frank, I’m not sure about contributing to this one. Great focus for the week though! Let’s see how it goes. I love the energy and creativity of the contributions so far. 🙂 Many blessings to you and your wife, Frank. Have a great week — Debbie

    1. jansenphoto Avatar

      Ha Debbie, I can see a path for you on this one very clearly! There are numerous exotic aspects inherent to forgiveness, which may have become common place to you, but certainly not to many people!

      Have a wonderful week,

      Frank

      1. ForgivingConnects Avatar

        Hmm… wow well that got me opening my perspective. Thank you Frank – I’ll ask for creative inspiration on this one. 🙂 I so want to ask you what path you see. Maybe it’s for me to work out. Ah, the discovery of self-expression!!! Blessings, Debbie
