Hi everyone,
Would you like to participate in this challenge? Just post a photo or photos which will be your interpretation of the theme.
The rules are rather simple.
Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.
Your photo(s) should be taken during the week of the theme.
You are allowed to do some photoshopping.
You are to experiment and, most of all, have fun.

This is one of those opportunistic images taken on my iPhone. Was at my son's house & noticed his wife's rings and necklaces lying around on a table. "Aha!" I thought. "J is for Jewellery":  Edited on my iPhone in Snapseed. Bayla |

Going on a photo shoot tomorrow - otherwise I may end up just posting a selfie  EDIT - got DH involved, but his ideas always go back to Jello.  Sepiana, this is hard, I need a dictionary to grab some words that start with J, but I will persevere. I have a fallback if I don't run into anything interesting this morning. No matter what, I will not be able to beat Japan.  |

You captured a J and you did it very well. Beautiful jewelry.

Tom, beautiful and colorful capture. That's quite a Jay (and he looks pretty angry). |

J is for....Japan, where I currently am at the moment. I took this photo yesterday in Shibuya, a suburb of Tokyo. Sydney, it looks like it was the right time for J. Great capture! I love the colors. |

Here is some help -- Words that start with J.

J is for Job - my painting job - well, not my job - I hired three really nice guys to paint my house. They did a fine job, too. They finished Thursday afternoon. The kit is by Robyn Littlejohn - one of my favorite scrapbook artists. The fonts are Chalkduster and Dancing Script I used some tools I don't normally use - Smudge and Burn - Color Replacement - don't quite know why I don't use those tools more frequently, they work slick. Title was two layers of text - one green, one beige. The top layer was moved over one pixel so you could see the bottom layer and so the title looked more substantial The frame for the bottom photo is a scrapbook background paper squeezed to fit the photo (photo merely dropped on top - shadow added) then I added a bevel to the "frame" background paper I'm big on shadows. I used them on virtually every layer. I think this is a far better choice than Jello which DH kept talking about. His idea - Janice wearing a Jacket eating Jello. For some reason, I decided that was a BAD idea.

My "J" is for Joyce Salter, whose statue stands with those of her parents on the Thames Path in Bermondsey. Doctor Salter and his wife worked tirelessly to alleviate the desperate poverty of the people of Bermondsey in the early twentieth century. They lived amongst the people they served in this deprived area of the East End. Fate did not reward their generosity - they were inconsolable when their young daughter Joyce died at the age of 9 of Scarlet Fever. Nevertheless they continued with their work in Bermondsey. Just one of their many achievements was to plant a thousand trees to improve the air quality in the district. I always pay silent tribute to this brave and selfless family and to my mind, Joyce has to be the most poignant of all the "J"s.
Incidentally, this is the second version of the Salter family memorial. The former statues were all stolen several years ago. A fund was set up and the money slowly raised to replace the statues and install CCTV to protect them. It shows just how despicable, or how noble, we humans can be.

Brenda Brenda, great to see you here. What a capture! I quite agree with you. This has to be the "most poignant of all the "J"s". Thanks for all the history behind it. |
