Welcome to week 153 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.
In case you wondered, last week’s contributions were absolutely wonderful! To put it simply: all of you Rock!! Which leads me to this week’s theme: Rock… Looking through photos for inspiration, it struck me that this theme would allow for all of your creativity to be used. Whether you feel like rocking the cradle or the boat, or be as steady as the Rock of Gibraltar, go for hard rock or soft rock, there might be something in this theme just for you!
I’m looking forward to find out what kind of fun you can dream up for this week! Have fun with it!
Sometimes, the rock gets ground down into something small and smooth…

When I encountered these pebbles on the beach, I knew there would be something here to capture… It’s almost like a pattern was laid out in these pebbles, waiting to be uncovered!
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)!!
Can’t wait to see how you’re going to rock this theme!

WHEN YOU I ALONG THE BEACH I ALWAYS HAVE MY HEAD DOWN. NO I DON’T OWN A MOBILE ‘CURSED’ PHONED, I AM LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT COLOURED PEBBLES AND STONES, CHINA
Rocks and waters, etc., are words of God, and so are men. We all flow from one fountain Soul. All are expressions of one Love.
I love your rock photo, Frank. We have rocks that look like that in our yard, too. I love how they compliment most landscapes. Enjoy your week!
Thank you, Shelley! Have a great week!
two for the price of one?

Love it!

Great post!
That’s lovely. I haven’t walked on a pebbly beach for a long long while, and your photo makes me want to do that. I have to go find one now.
Thank you very much!
Love the many possible interpretations in this prompt! How fun!
Here’s mine … 🙂

Love that penguin!!!
His name is Opus, and he’s known to think bigger than he is … 😉
I know Opus 🙂

Beautiful pebbles Frank! I’ve interpreted ‘Rock’ in a slightly different way: https://whippetwisdom.com/2019/03/26/haibun-my-friend-my-rock/
Love your interpretation, Xenia!
Thank you Frank! 🙂🐾🐾
Marvelous arrangement of peebles. Like a pattern by artist.
Your URL says “years” not “rocks”, so I was not sure if I got the right one or not.
For some reason, the URL didn’t update. My original thinking was years, but then I came up with the Rock theme. Normally a save draft updates the URL, but this time it didn’t. You’ve got it right 🙂
Thanks.
Lovely!
Beautiful smooth polished pebbles.
This was fun!

Pebbles so smooth and rounded. Nice response to the rock challenge.
Thank you!
Awesome rock!
We think rocks rock! https://touringwithkids.com/2019/03/26/a-backpack-full-of-rocks/
Love it! We’re going to Ireland in May and will visit the Dingle peninsula.
I love to rock n enjoy collecting some too..Here’s mine – https://myheart2heart.blog/2019/03/27/mother-you-rock/
That post rocks!
Aww… thank you so much 😊
I love pebble beaches – not sand. Sand to look at, not to be full of…Pebbles: Entire LOVE. I will see what I can find!
Found what I was looking for! https://lagottocattleya.wordpress.com/2019/03/27/tuesday-photo-challenge-rock/
Those are amazing!
Thank you – they are, really. Looking like turtle shells some of them.
Greetings, Frank! Here’s another entry to toss on the rock pile: https://outofmywritemind.com/2019/03/27/rock-stars/
Those are true rock stars! Amazingly, nobody has submitted a post with a greenhouse yet 🙂
I really liked this prompt. Here’s the post it inspired me to write – https://beinginnatureblog.wordpress.com/2019/03/28/rock-of-ages/
Wonderful post!
Thank you very much.
I like your peaceful pebbles, Frank.
Rock worked well for me as a theme – I have sen an awfully of rocks here on Malta in the last few days. Here is a peek out some very, very ancient rocks: https://travelwithintent.com/2019/03/28/rocks-in-malta-reveal-ancient-history/
Fantastic rock formations!
