** **Welcome to the February 2014 Photography Forum Challenge****

Let’s see your take on 'T'...  
Travel, tattoos, trees, tranquility, torsos, threesomes,
Tunnels, tables, trains, transport, toys and
'T' seen in nature, structures, etc.

Check your dictionary for suggestions!

Please remember:
Two images per member per week.
Image size: No larger than:
800 pixels X 600 pixels
and 200KB

 

Given the fun that we had with 'C', I have been a bit lazy this month and selected 'T' topics...

 

Hi Clive,

Thank you Clive, for this info on the new challenge.
To be more precise, you are the first participant, because it is the new thread.

I hope to contribute in this month.
To be honest, I don't know the T-significance of some of the examples.
Of course the tunnel, temple, and tatoo, but we'll come up with something new witha T.

Oh, how stupid I am, I now see the big T-shape of the iron bar, and the train, table, and tree. But what does that bare stomach-intestines for T, and the banks plus that one with mist over water??

Haha: "Tot ziens!

T is for ... well ... YOU know!  :P

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Hi Mies,

The bosttom left with mist over water is 'Tranquility' - peace, peacefulness, restfulness...

The bare stomach-intestines was submitted in the gallery this month and titled 'Torso' - the human or animal body excluding the head and limbs.

Hope this helps a bit!  There is a lot to see starting with a T!

Regards,

Clive

 

Tee hee, you tagged on quickly, Tara!

 

Here is my Tortoise, ‘Torty’, tasting my toes earlier this week!

He comes inside often these days; I can only think that it is to get away from the heat we are experiencing at the moment.

He is quite a character; I am also convinced that he comes inside to listen to the music on the radio!

He came with the house when I bought the property a few years ago and is quite ‘house trained’!

 

Two beautiful pets, Clive!
A formidable picture.

@ Tara, what a great surprise to see you here!
Totally original in all spheres.

Looking forward to this one!

Wayne

 

T FOR TIGER.

**T** is for **T**omato flower!  :-)

 

T for Thuja Tree!

Have a great weekend! :)

Excellent photo's, Steve and Maria!

A blackbird on a letter T.

HAHA! Friends. Already full speed on this T-errific suggesten for the T :-)

HAHA! Tara. You were quick there :-)

Thanks for jumping in Steve, Maria and Mies!

I nearly selected a tiger for the suggestions..!

Tomatoes and trees work well too.

I really like that T tower, there goes one of my ideas...

 

T is for Terrier, the general breed of Brady, my rescue 'designer dog'. 

Maybe Lakeland Terrier, who knows...

 

A brilliant photo, Clive! So happy looking.
btw, What do you think of the T for tongue, Clive?
Which is so striking here, also in color.

A conceited Turkey

Oooohh!  Terrier.  I hadn't thought of that.  (M is for Mandy.)  :P

Wonderful shots, everybody!  I'm looking forward to a month of Ts.  :)

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

I did not think of Tongue, Mies, even though it was licking me in the face!

Hmm, Turkey for Thanks Giving?!

Quote - I did not think of Tongue, Mies, even though it was licking me in the face!Hmm, Turkey for Thanks Giving?!

So, you are clean at the end, Clive? That's an easy way then, with having such a great friend. I hope your lovely doggie does it's job every day perfect for you, Clive.

Aah, Thanksgiving, don't speak too loud about that, as my turkey can here you, my friend.
he will not giving you any thanks for that! :)

Some super shots here already. I will have to see what I can do !

porthmadog railway station (Wales) on the way to caernarfon, the amazing Festiniogg railway line.

Needless to say my camera was glowing hot, I must have taken around 1000 pics.

"T" is for Time...  or Ten to Ten.

 

Well I have never seen a Timer on a camera like that Clive.

As I got no e-bots, I really mised a lot of beauties, and also very funny, as original photos. By original, I mean the great idea's to pick an item. What fun.

Well, here three having fun in a tree. (three of our grandchildren).

Three lovely children Jacomina and an excellent shot.

Thank you very much, Jeff. :)

T is for Two Tuckered Tykes!  LOL!  Bill and Mandy appear to have had a hard day.  :) 

Still working on my big project:  Day 12 of I don't know how many!  We bought a winter "house" in south Texas (a small mobile home, actually), and I've been painting and getting ready for our furniture to be delivered.  Hopefully I'll be done and ready by Sunday, because the moving van arrives on Monday or Tuesday!!  Then I can unpack boxes for several days.  I took "before" pictures on my phone, and tomorrow I'll do some "during" shots, and will make sure I do "after" pics when I'm all done so you can see what I've been up to. 

Hey Helle!  Did you catch that?  I'm PAINTING again!  LOL!

Oh Hun - I have been thinking about your move!

Great toad shot!

Lovely tiny toad, CLive :)

I am Told That This Toad is a Tiny Tot of a Toad. If That is correct Then This is a Terrific shot of This Toad !

I hope I don't get Toad off for This Clive.

Marvelous shot Clive and I had a good giggle @ Jeff's reply!

T is for TULIP

Beautiful Tulips To Tip Toe Through Steve.

Here we have my favorite **T**ractor, a 1953 Ford 8N Jubilee Edition, quite rare but I was almost able to buy one several years ago. And below is my favorite **T**una that regularly gets mixed up with mayonnaise and chopped celery for great sandwiches!

Above I present my favorite US Navy type of **T**eapot, though I mostly drink coffee, and below one of the closets full of **T**ops which I give to models.

From Top To Toe These are Tremendous shots on This Topic Wayne.

The Tide is in at Tower Bridge on the River Thames.

T for Teddy...

Meet my Teddy - he is older than I am! 

When my uncle bought his Fiat 500 in 1962, the teddy was in the back seat.  Teddy was passed on to me and as you can see he has a fair bit of wear and tear, one eye missing.

Though the years he got a bit self conscious, so Mom knitted him a jersey and made some overall pants.

 

So Teddy is Toting The Trousers.

Nice one Clive.

Awww - I love the teddy Clive! He is adorable... Save him for your grandkids one day!
