Weekly Photo Challenge: Hope

Hope. This tree, if you look closely, is growing out of a drain. That drain is on top of a train platform overhang. Cement for miles, yet this life took root here. Hope from me taking the picture & still finding wonder in these things, and hope from the tree, to grow.

Share a picture that means HOPE to you! 

New to The Daily Post? Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’re invited to get involved in our Weekly Photo Challenge to help you meet your blogging goals and give you another way to take part in Post a Day / Post a Week. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Here’s how it works:

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 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 a “postaday2011″ or “postaweek2011″ tag.

3. Subscribe to The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS

    • Is this the right link? It just seems to be full of advertising. I cannot see your entry for the challenge at all.

      January 27, 2012
    • I am wondering that too – all I get is ads when I click on this link…I see no photo for this challenge anywhere…

      January 27, 2012
      • it could be spam. i noticed a few last time round as well. usually the accompanying comment is a bit off.

        January 27, 2012
      • I’ve also noticed pix&cardz. I think wordpress needs more moderators, so such things can be deleted.

        January 28, 2012
    • Seems like the spammers (mymoonlog) have found new ways to infiltrate wordpress…

      January 27, 2012
  7. It can be hard to find hope in the midst of fall and winter. This is a photo essay on finding beauty and hope even as leaves fall: http://kitchentangents.com/2011/10/16/my-top-10-fall-favorites-in-northern-california/

  23. Hope – one of my favourite words. This post immediately came to mind, from about half a year ago, when pix & kardzwas only a few months old. Would the blog survive? Would anybody read it? There was always hope :)
    In the meantime I have gotten to know so many kind and creative bloggers from around our planet earth. How cool is that! So thank you wordpress, for another weekly photo challenge! Much appreciated.
    Here’s some hope: http://wp.me/p1hfki-qH
