Gallery: taking on a new challenge

The best things in life come in threes, like friends, dreams, and memories

Mencius, Confucian philosopher

Is there room in my blogging life for a new challenge? Possibly not, but when I came across Thursday Trios I was intrigued and decided to see what I could find in my photo archives.

The idea is to share photos which show sets of three, as simple as that. My plan is to post from time to time, not necessarily weekly, and to find a theme among my selections.

People in threes

Today it is all about people. Finding them in groups of three isn’t always as easy as you might think. Couples are common of course, as are larger groups, but threes less so. Or so it seems from my archives! Nevertheless, here are some I found and liked, for my first ever set of Thursday Trios. A few I have shared before but hopefully most are new to you.
