3 Days of...Oct 17 to 19

Pick a theme and stick with it for 3 days.
Pick a theme, any theme, and post nothing that doesn’t fit in that theme for this entire challenge.
Please declare your choice of “theme” with your first post.
Some ideas:
Sea Birds
Architecture
Forests
White on white photographs
Animals
Soccer
…and so many more … these are just to get you thinking.
I think it best to not select a theme like “The World” that anything would fit…challenge yourself to think about a topic and try to cover it in as many different ways as you can think of.
Intro: I’ve been here a while now, but still think of myself as “the New Kid”. As introduction, my stage name comes from the mathematical element the Asymptote, which is:
“a line that continually approaches a given curve but does not meet it at any finite distance.”
In common language, it is something that continues to get closer and closer to a goal, but, sadly, will never reach it. That’s me! Whatever I try in life, oh, let’s say …Photography, improves as time and practice happens, but I never get to the end of that journey. There is always more to do, more to learn, more to try.
So, come along on this trip…
Word of warning, I am not in possession of a character that allows (or requires) me to make comments on everything…I hope that is interpreted as “if I do, I really mean it”, because that is the truth. I have been somewhat reluctant to participate in this way because of that, so…with your indulgences…here we go…
Have Fun!
I think I will try Food in unusual ways….like this:

Bend the Light Fantastic…a glass of water and some familiar foods – Peach, Banana and you know.
.. So, this Good Egg was gonna take a selfie of the group and was balanced precariously to gain a good perspective…
….and…… then, he just wanted one more step back, to get the perfect framing….and…

Great start, and some wonderful images, Asymptotic!
When I read your challenge, one thought came to mind immediately...
...and no, it wasn't cars...
...it was granddaughters!

I was tempted to put "old corvettes" in the suggestions, but I knew that would just bait you...I have two of those things (granddaughters) too, so I'll look forward to your special images.

I'm glad my topic is ok, Asymptotic, and I'm really glad
that you didn't suggest I do spiders....lol

Ok, this should be interesting. I like the photos submitted so far. Good ones of the Granddaughters, and love the macro or through the glass images. That peach could be a women's backside but it also has a navel. Maybe a contortionist? Anyway, my theme will be butterflies. Here are a few for today.
