Welcome to Week 136 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!

As I was caught repeating a theme last week (great attention to detail!), I made doubly sure that this week’s theme was not used for a previous TPC. Also, I want to thank Na’ama for contributing the theme of Contact.  When I saw this theme in her list, I was at once intrigued, as Contact can be taken in multiple directions.  First contact with aliens might be far-fetched, but making contact can range from a fender bender to a phone call…

I hope that you will let your creative huices flow for this week’s theme and have some fun with it! There were some great whimsical entries last week and I certainly look forward to your flights of whimsy!

Here’s an interpretation to get you going…

Contact!

In the dogsport of agility, there are certain obstacles, such as this see-saw that require the dog to touch a certain area before dismounting.  This area of the obstacle is called the contact area.  As you can see in this photo, there are very fast dogs that get to the end of the see-saw and then have to ride it down.

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)!!

Looking forward to the contacts that you create  this week!

  2. WOW there must be some dogs that absolutely would refuse to do this!

    1. It takes more than a year of training before dogs and handlers are ready to compete. You start with small, simple things for them to do, as they learn each item. Our youngest, Stuff, is just beginning to learn and will start competing in about a year. We find that our dogs gain a lot of confidence from competing in agility, as they enjoy it as much as we do.

  8. What a pretty dog. I agree with Shelley, he certainly looks happy…a doggy smile on his face for sure.

    1. Yeas, they do enjoy this kind of competition, as many dogs need something to keep their focus and have an outlet for their drive and energy.

  13. Ohhhh, thanks Frank for the mention and credit! My pleasure and if you ever need more prompt ideas, feel free to pick my little brain … so many words swim in it on a regular basis, might as well let some of them out! 😉
    Speaking of, here’s my interpretation of the prompt (though I have a few other ideas, so who knows, I might post a second helping if I cannot help myself …)
