It occurred to me that there are many things in life which can cause the user to feel today’s theme, many of them simple pleasures – even something as simple as a cup of coffee and a few minutes to put one’s feet up.

Thanks to Busybee for setting today’s theme. Last Tuesday’s theme was ‘pride’. The other interpretations of this week’s theme can be found here.

The “Tuesday Inspiration” began in 2009 when Stefan and I started setting each other a photographic challenge on a… Tuesday. Very soon afterwards, we 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, etc. If you would like to take part, please send me a message via this blog.

This makes me smile. Thanks. Kalamari · 2011-11-08: 12:29

The simplest things are the best, and I would tend to share the opinion of David josy63 · 2011-11-08: 14:59

Another perfect and pristine capture, Helen - and a wonderfully true caption. We shared a cup of decaf on this rainy afternoon and it was, indeed, a moment of complete "TI"! djnana · 2011-11-08: 20:29

Love it. So in this little race the apricot coloured giraffe is beating the red one. Jarvo · 2011-11-09: 19:37

Also, great selection of a background colour. Yellow on blue is so good. Jarvo · 2011-11-09: 19:37
