WeekJforJocular

Over on Bluesky Sheena, a Glaswegian living in Northern Ireland, curates a weekly photographic challenge. I have been participating in these challenges for a couple of months It gives me an opportunity to dig into my rather large snapshot archive and share a few images to the weekly theme related to a letter of the alphabet.

Last week's theme for the challenge was WeekJforJocular so I went hunting in  my archive for images that tickled my funny bone. I resisted sharing the photos I had tagged as "Funny Faces" lest I offend someone whose facial expressions had made me laugh.

I seem to have a large collection of funny signs, these media figure largely in this "J" post. I wonder if they will raise a few smiles.

Found in my Family History files. Column 8 was a regular column in our morning newspaper - The Sydney Morning Herald, R J Ball is closely related to me.

WeekIforIntegers

Over on Bluesky Sheena, a Glaswegian living in Northern Ireland, curates a weekly photographic challenge. I have been participating in these challenges for a couple of months It gives me an opportunity to dig into my rather large snapshot archive and share a few images to the weekly theme related to a letter of the alphabet.

Last week's theme for the challenge was WeekIforIntegers. I  had a head start as I had been assigning the tag "Numbers" to my more recent photos. I had to dig deeper to find earlier snaps. I will continue adding the numbers tag where appropriate as I can see it being of use in the future. It has given me for next years April A-Z Blogging Challenge.

A-Z Blogging Challenge 2025 - N is for Numbers

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.
