A-Z Blogging Challenge 2025 - J is for Jogging and Joy

As I travel the world I take many photos that pique my interest, these could be lumped into a "peculiar category" ie. they are peculiar to my interests and may be different from what one usually sees in a collection of travel photos.

For the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge in 2025 my theme is Peculiar Pics. During April I invite you to join me for an online tour of Peculiar Pics from my digital albums. These will be sourced from my travels between April 2024 to March 2025.

I cannot imagine how the people I see pounding the pavements can get any joy from jogging but, as we travel along in our tour buses, we see many people indulging in this activity.

In contrast to the jogging images I shared above are images of JOY on the faces of people indulging in other activities.

  6. So many joyful images and a lovely one of Chez. But I have to say “jogging and joy” just contradicts itself for me.

  7. The consensus here shows that Joy outshines Jogging
