A threshold is a point of entering; that point just before a new beginning — that split-second moment in time, full of anticipation. All the hard work is over; relief is palpable.
While exploring Granada, Spain, I met up with this friendly little fellow every day during my runs. Thin, filthy, and matted, he was clearly homeless. I captured his portrait in a quiet moment as the sun rose over The Alhambra, and hoped that soon, my little perro pequeńo would find a forever home and step over the threshold of a new beginning; to ever-full bowls of food and clean water; to a fireside by which to snooze on cold Spanish nights.
In a post created specifically for this challenge, share a photo that captures the threshold — that point just before the action happens, that oh-so-sweet moment of anticipation before that new beginning. It could be a door about to open, or something a bit more metaphorical like a flower about to bloom. Looking forward to seeing how you capture “threshold.”

New to The Daily Post? Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’re invited to get involved in our Weekly Photo Challenge to help you meet your blogging goals and give you another way to take part in Post a Day / Post a Week. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
- Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.
- To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
- Follow The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements, and subscribe to our quarterly newsletter — we’ll highlight great photos from the most popular challenge.
That’s an interesting subject. And that little dog will inspire me. Thanks
