Happy Birthday to our son, John, who got us into Photoblog over 2 years ago. He is a great photographer himself, but doesn't have enough time to spend on it, with a job, a family, and building a new home! Thanks, John, for encouraging us to do something that we've come to love! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Thanks to Stephen King for the title and to JLemery for the theme this week. Others who may be posting can be found here.

The "Tuesday Inspiration” began in 2009 when two PB members - Helen and Stefan - started setting each other a challenge on Tuesdays. Very soon afterwards, it was decided to open this up to other PB members, followed by the idea that we should not reveal what the subject is, so that other members could compare how different members view a single theme. The Tuesday Inspiration is not a contest or a challenge, but a group of people all agreeing to post their interpretation of a single theme on Tuesdays. Each week, one of the contributors sets the theme. There are now over 40 members contributing to the TI. We have only two “rules”: don’t include the subject in the TI title or tags and please comply with standard PB guidelines on courtesy. If you would like to take part, please contact Helen (girafferacing).

Great effects! Captured the sparkle off the water perfectly...my eyes hurt as they have many times on a bright day on the water. The waterfall capture is remarkable. MarkD · 2012-02-27: 21:03

I take full credit for the photographic & interpersonal powerhouses that you & Dad have become on Photoblog. I should get a plaque...As I am your offspring, y'all are my Photoblog disciples. Hahaha! #2 is absolutely perfect...the focus on the rocks is spot-on, while the dancing water droplets draw your eye all over in wild motion . Love it!! jtnelso · 2012-02-27: 21:57
