NEXT CHALLENGE THEME: Bicycle
In celebration of Bicycle Week in May, we’ll turn our lenses to that two-wheeled wonder — the bike! As a youth, it’s a means to get you somewhere faster and a sign of independence (do you remember the first time you got to ride around the block by yourself?). From recreation to transportation, the bicycle gets you moving. Get out and enjoy the wind in your hair as you ride your way to a creative challenge win!
Have you ever turned a corner along a wooded path and happened upon a spot of enchantment? Maybe the light came through the trees to illuminate a mushroom on a moss covered fallen log, or a rocky ledge appeared to suddenly have a face. Perhaps you’ve discovered a spot of such stillness in the middle of the forest that a feeling of total peace surrounds you. For this challenge, members shared their best scenes of enchantment within a forest. There were several incredible entries which were submitted. To view them, please visit the DISPLAY PAGE. Congratulations to our top 10 and thank you once again for another spectacular Creative Challenge!
