Weekly Photo Challenge: Home

Meticulously constructed by previous owner. Spring possession available.

home

Last month, on a cold -35C day in the pit of winter, I spotted this tiny, meticulously constructed bird’s nest in my front yard. Immediately, my thoughts turned to melting snow and the promise of spring, when this custom-built home would be ready for possession to protect a new family of baby birds.

In a new post specifically created for this challenge, share a picture that evokes HOME for you.

krista It might be the place where you live, or a more abstract representation, or something completely different. Can’t wait to see what you do with this challenge!

  4. I agree with others that home is a feeling more than a place…

  5. Home is a place of safety and refuge, but today in the Northeast US, home is a place under (a quiet) siege: http://berkshireviews.wordpress.com/2013/02/08/blizzard-in-progress/

  26. I love this weekly challenge, but what bothers me are the number of folks who copy the link of more than a few that they like just to drive traffic to their sites. I have so many folks linking my blog to theirs and when I look at their blog they have not only chosen mine but about 50 others. Can you folks limit the number of trackbacks on the weekly challenge? I appreciate folks wanting to share my post, but I prefer not to be included in a list of 50. A list of 5 that someone likes is fine with me, but 50? Just sharing my thoughts.

    February 8, 2013
    • hey babs
      i second that request; sometimes i ponder not participating because of those false-ish pingbacks. each time it’s usually the same folks,and they never seem to visit, leave a like or comment.
      i liked your sweet ‘home’ post!
      z

      February 8, 2013
      • I have tried contacting the Forum and left several messages in Daily Prompt about the etiquette on pingbacks. I still have yet to get a reply. I try not post early because of all them pingbacks.

        February 8, 2013
      • hey! thanks for adding your feedback as well. i went to your site and LOVED your daily prompt post for reincarnation!
        z

        February 8, 2013
    • I fourth the motion, there’s another blogger who mentioned this last week in the WPC comment.

      February 8, 2013
    • I’m afraid we don’t have any plans to limit trackbacks. Thanks for your feedback.

      February 9, 2013
    • I heartily disagree.
      I feel that pingbacks help to create connections, or at least the opportunity for connections. Having a list of related posts on my blog helps me keep track of which ones I’ve visited. And I make a point to visit each one I list, whether or not I leave a comment. ( not all blogs have the option of a “Like”, and often I am in reading mode more than writing mode). I’ve discovered some great new blogs to follow from the pingback list. And a lot of inspiration in the different ways people interpret ” common” vocabulary.
      When I go to a party, I don’t become friends with every new person I meet. But I wouldn’t want to restrict parties because of that.

      February 10, 2013
      • Thank you for your opinion. I would rather be featured on a fellow blogger’s list of 5 rather than 50.

        February 10, 2013
      • I can appreciate the desire to be specially highlighted. But it is completely possible to partake of a Challenge without adding a pingback to the Challenge post. So if someone chooses to include that link in their post, I don’t understand why they would then be unhappy when the list of pingbacks grows long. Other bloggers are just doing the same thing.
        I’m particularly responding to the suggestion that the Challenges limit the number of pingback/track backs allowed to be listed. Personally, I really enjoy that WordPress has created such an inclusive community. We can each be exclusive through our readers or blog rolls.
