You might think “companion” refers to a person with whom you share experiences, but the definition is much broader:
A person who is frequently in the company of, associates with, or accompanies another.
A mate or match for something.
A handbook or guide.
A member of the lowest rank in an order of knighthood.
The Weekly Photo Challenge: Share a picture of a COMPANION and explain why you chose that picture.
One without the other is almost unbearable. What do you think?





and last but not least, my companion of a little more than 9 years: Serengetti

Thank you!
I enjoyed this challenge.
Wow, what a great choice of fanastic photos for the challenge and thanks for plingbacking my post. *smile
Ahh yes, all the great duos – salt and pepper, sugar and spice, eggs and ham, strawberries and cream, rain and shine, black and white …. 😉 great take.
Thanks!
Thanks for the pingback!
Great shots, here. I love the salt/pepper duo.
Oh yes, certain foods do require certain companions. Just adds to the taste and enjoyment.
Simply genius.
I enjoyed your interpretation of the theme. Thank you for the mention.
i just looove fries! ❤ ^^
Great take on the challenge! Though I often have pepper without the salt, unless it’s on my fries, then I have salt without the pepper! 😉 That’s a cute picture of you both at the end 🙂

My favorite one too. Thanks for stopping by.
