Welcome to week 152 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.
After last week’s pleasant surprise that I hadn’t used Sunrise as a theme before, I really wondered… And, yes!! I have never used Wonder as a theme either! Whether you want to feature the Wonders of Nature, the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World or make us wonder what you may have photographed, there are plenty of directions for you to take this theme! And, of course, I expect all of your ideas to be wonderful!!
I think that there’s a lot of fun to be had with this week’s theme, so I look forward to see what you are going to create!
Here’s one of Nature’s wonders…

This gorgeous Giant Swallowtail was sitting perfectly still, allowing me to get a nice sharp focus that highlights all the amazing details of this stunning creature. One of these days, I will have to prepare a large print to bring out the colors of the individual hairs that truly stand out!
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 see what comes round the bend this week!

Awesome! Love it!!
A wonder indeed – Swallowtails are so graceful – and lucky you to find one sitting still! I am never that lucky…and this one has got colours and patterns caught in a perfect shot. I will see what wonders I might find…
Looking forward to it!

No wonder that you have come up with a great post!
Thanks, Frank.
What a magnificent butterfly!!! They are, indeed, creatures full of wonder, in pretty much every aspect of their lives!
Here’s my contribution, of a man-made wonder set in a wonder all its own.

Thank you, Na’ama. Your post highlights a true wonder of ancient construction!
Thanks, Frank! I think it is absolutely mindboggling, jaw-dropping, how-the-heck-did-they-do-this amazing!
There’s a rather straightforward explanation: Ancient Aliens!
Um … okay … 😉
Ancient Aliens is a TV show on the History Channel, which looks at ancient mysteries and explains all of them with 2 words…
I know! I’ve actually seen it a couple times — fun stuff, that …
And … who knows, eh?
We’re all star stuff, essentially, if you look back long enough …
Fabulous picture Frank. I love butterflies and hope to get some in the garden when the buddlia wakes up!

Thank you, Xenia! Love the sense of wonder in your post!
Thank you Frank! 🙂
That’s a wonderful animal, and a great photo. Swallowtails are so flighty, you’re lucky to find one at rest.
Cooler temperatures in the morning allow for these moments….
Lovely photo Frank! <3
Thank you, Penny!
