1. 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. 2 . 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. 3. Follow The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements, and subscribe to our newsletter – we’ll highlight great photos from each month’s most popular challenge.

Swimming and swimmers. That’s what I’m taking from this prompt. While it’s warmer than usual up here in Illinois, it’ll be quite awhile till the pools and beaches open. Still lest we forget in the southern hemisphere it’s summer and ’round the equator and below people do need to cool off with a swim.

This week’s prompt features the written word in beautiful script. I offer a heartfelt hand written note to the Walter Stieglitz, the Regional Director of the Alaska Region of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

After the Exxon Valdez oil spill, second grader, Kelly Middlestead advocated that the government protect wildlife post haste. Kelly, you deserve a gold star for citizenship. I hope you’re still writing.
