Tuesday Photo Challenge – Connections

Welcome to week 157 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge! Yes, this post means that this challenge has been running for 3 years now! Thanks to all the amazing support from the blogosphere!!

Of course, you blew me away with the response to last week’s theme, which I thought might have had special meaning to many of us. This week, I want to make the theme about the most important thing that I can think of in our endeavors here and in many other aspects of life: Connections! Making connections with one another and learning more about the world and the great people, with whom we share it.

Your challenge is to capture any type of connections that you would like to share, as they come in many guises and at many levels. This is a great opportunity to let your creative energies flow freely and see where they take you. I can hardly wait to see what connections you will feature in your posts!!

Here’s a literal set of connections…

Floral Connections

These wonderful, bright yellow flowers are all connected to their supporting branches, striving to reach every bit of light that they can! This image comes from a visit to the Botanic Garden of the Technical University in Delft, Netherlands. This is a wonderful place to explore and enjoy the beauty of Nature, reconnecting to all that is special…

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)!!

Let’s all make new connections and enjoy this week!

    I love the bright yellow flowers! Very cheery, and a great example for the prompt. I didn’t want to let you down, so, I took a spin on the word, yet again. Happy Tuesday to you! Thank you for all you do to help us bloggers stay connected. Your challenges are so fun to participate in.

      Love the connection that you built into your post!

      I’m putting the link here, as I didn’t see it make the connection (ironic):

        Thank you, I appreciate you doing that. I was wondering what happened to the pingback!

      2. jansenphoto Avatar

        Not sure, but other ones were coming through. The link in your post was correct, so that wasn’t it…

        Hmm…it’s one of those WP things, I guess. Thank you again for sharing the link!

      Thank you, Brian. Really enjoyed your post, especially the train of caterpillars!!

        Actually they are called Procession Caterpillars which is very apt as they move about like that
