Wow, the Cow Girl has guts!  to tel me to watch my step, lol! Good entries everybody, Christo, Frankman, Beth and Evie!

PJ you had to better the snails. Flannelman, where's your entries Sir?

This challenge has been a hoot so far.

I can't do just 3 paragraphs. So I had to add this one: Shari, is there a therapy for the 3's obsession? Those who love maths will know about the role of 3 as different primes and also its significance in the Fibonacci sequence.

Okay, so has anybody seen the move The Number 23???????

ROFL

This could become an obsession!!

Whoaaaaaaaaaaa... what a thread! Seven pages long!  And so many wonderful images, too. :^)

Thanks for telling us about it in your upload, Piet!  :^)

Great stuff everybody. :^)

Oh heck, Piet! You had to say that word!!! Fibonacci!  Now if that doesn't get Flannelman going, I don't know what will. He just loves that rule and has tried on numerous occassions to speak to me about it.

Expect to hear from him now... :-)

Finally, after shooting shooting myself in the foot by posting in my gallery, I have found some worthy submissions.

This is the rest of the Fultons - three of them - "The other three Fs!"

All good fun,
Clive

Oh, well done Clive!!!! :-)
Glad you managed to figure out what to post - it's great!!

Harry/goodoleboy

A huge hug of welcome to Marlene, Clive and Harry! Hehe

Excellent submissions, you rock! Now Marlene, get that camera out and start shooting for this, we'd love to see yours.

A special word of congratulations to Harry: You sure made my day with your perseverance and guts to brave the unknown and your honor is intact Sir!

:b_smile:

Oh wow, another page longer in this challenge.. I love it !!! 

CONGRATULATIONS Harry,,, it's great to see you made it !! :)  Great submission too I might add.  :)

I love the 3 selective coloring .. VERY CREATIVE, and I love it.

And clive, you did great :)

THANK YOU PIET for keeping everyone motivated... and enthusiastic ... and keeping it rolling. 

I think we all could use some therapy Piet ... hehe!  But I say what the heck, the crazier the better.

Hey, Marlene! Totally awesome balloons! What a great shot!

Just a quick question, are photo manips allowed?

I see no problem with that?  As long as it falls under the category of photography :)  lets see what cha got! 

Marlene - thanks :biggrin:   it's been FUN  :b_smile:

Belated for the season I know, or is that early...?

Cheers,
Clive

I've found a lot of "three" things to eat or to drink in that shop in Nice

Quote - (snicker, grin, arf, arf...:lol: ) That's really interesting...you say, there is a post in this challenge of 3 snails on an apple?  :ohmy: I think I heard that somewhere... But how about this! I call this little number, Three Flowers on a Cactus!

Hey PJ !!
I love your cactus flowers !! So lovely colors !
q:) Magali

Alright... Now I'm waiting for "Three Coins in a Fountain".  (Where is my back-up singer when I need one??  Harry - you know this song?) 

...

This is my third August 3 challenge entry. I have more threesome shots in my database I can post if rules permit.

I'll sing with ya Jodie... ;^)

ahem...la la la..." Make it mine!
                               Make it mine!
                               Make it miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine! "

LOL.

Gosh I'm old.... :^/

Great pictures everybody! :^D

For Jodie:

Three coins in a fountain
Each one seeking happiness
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which one will the fountain bless

Three hearts in a fountain
Each heart longing for its home
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of Rome

Which one will the fountain bless
Which one will the fountain bless

Make it mine, make it mine, make it mine

I left out the last stanza for the sake of expediency.

Awww.... Thank you Harry and Marlene.  (I think we won that karaoke contest!!)  LOL

WOW!!!!!, in my absence this has just got better and better, far to muach to backtrack for comments , but the new entries are fantastic, this thread was truly worht it Shari :)))

You guys aint bad !!!  LOL  jodie leading the choir  :)

Look at these entries pile in!  Maria the clarity on those acorns is perfect. Clive, I love that deer paddleboat! Never seen the like of such but you certainly have and done a fine capture of it. :-)

Magali, that selective coloring is really fabulous! You spent some time on that and the small touches here and there are the perfect balance.

Cavalierlady - the acorns are beautiful .. perfect find and fit for this challenge :)

clive .. love the rudolph and 3 sailors .. !!  Kinda funny, living in minnesota.. santa and green grass is something you just dont see here LOL  thanks :)

harry --  excellent one ............ so glad you're having fun; and yer singin' isn't too bad :) 

This is my kids helping with this... I just want to clarify that.  (Truly, would I bring in 3 Jonas Brothers?!?)  This was a game theme but they snuck in those Hershey's Kisses.

THANK YOU RONNIE  :b_blush:

Quote - I see no problem with that?  As long as it falls under the category of photography :)  lets see what cha got! 

Okay, thanks :)

Wow, why do I feel so lonely in here? Just me, Harry, Clive and Christo representing the male homo sapiens race but towards the end just the ladies remaining in full force.  :-| Am I allowed to say "dang!" in a forum like this?

Great work everybody, Magali, Elizabeth, Marlene and last but not least Jodie! All showing a different angle on 3. Now my 3rd paragraph:

Three blind snails, three blind snails,
See how they run, see how they run,
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three blind snails?

Okay, okay! They were 3 blind mice in the nursery rhyme. :biggrin:

I really enjoy the fun of it all.
Thanks,
Clive

Piet! Snails with tails?  I thought they referred to it as a foot. Too bad we didn't have more entry space, huh? I had three dozen other ideas for snails and apples.

This has been great fun! I'm looking forward to the end of the month to see what turns up in the "home stretch..." (that was for Clive.) Clive, I really love that race shot! After high school I used to do  little amateur stuff with my "then" husband at the speedway. It was my job to drive the time trials but he always got to drive the final quarter mile race.

Thanks piet, for lodging that song now in my brain ... it wont go away you realize till next week!  LOL Good singing though btw   :-)

Clive, i love the RAce to the finish too .. how perfect!   

i'd love to see more with apples and snails :-)  we could do a challenge on that next time.. "snails and apples" ............... with you in there PJ,  we'd have more than 9 pages LOL  love it :)

Lookin' forward now to that photo manip **micturn .. bring it on! ** :biggrin:

have a fun saturday; I get to work this morning & then go to mom's to install her DSL.

Flannelman I love this composition of frail, colored three flowers
Like a fashion design project for a dress ....

**Oh not because I am fashioned addict ! lol ** (only  I worked in this "world"
as accountant in Façonnable Co, so I got some info)

And because those colors were used and mixed in summer collection in " haute couture" by famous names  : Christian Lacroix, Chanel, Céline...

Amitiés
q:) Magali

I wasn't going to say anything, FM. ;^)

Wow that must be one heckuva garden you've got. I love your color palette. :^)

Lovely pic too, btw. :^)

So what's this thing with Trinity and Three Coins in the Fountain? Is that a separate game here?

Inquiring minds wanna know....lol.

Goodness! Just when I thought it could go no further, then somebody enters something creative again.

Good entries Clive and Flannelman. These are colors to die for.

Marlene: Many a separate idea has come to the fore, especially when those who uploaded 3 entries had become so preoccupied with seeing and hearing and thinking any 3-theme, that they just had to share it here. I am amazed at how many people I phone, have 3 x 3's in there mobile numbers.

How about you, any recurring 3?
