Yes, I meant (since I suggested this topic) photos OF or TAKEN AT our local park - ponds, trees, bugs, birds, etc.
And let's say "local means" in our own towns or within - what? - 25 miles. My intention was to encourage us all to look for images nearby, in a common place that we may have overlooked or not appreciated before.
I Hope Varina, as the WC Moderator, agrees.

Oh definitely! I love macro and detail photography - and I completely agree with Sandy's comments. I tend to be pretty broad in my interpretation of weekly challenge themes because the idea is to encourage creativity.
As far as how close "local" is - I think that's pretty tough to define. Some people may have a park right down the street - but for others, the nearest park may be miles from home. I think we can each use our own judgement in determining the meaning of "local". I think we understand Sandy's intentions with this challenge idea. In her words, "My intention was to encourage us all to look for images nearby, in a common place that we may have overlooked or not appreciated before." If your location works within that frame of mind - I say go ahead and post!
I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone has to offer!

2 repliesCan these also be photos taken AT your local park even if it's a macro or something?
And can local be someplace we go regularly even if it's two hours away, or no?
Thanks. :)
