A round-up of the challenges that I joined last week and the photos that I chose to submit-

After this week I will be transitioning from my “Week in Review” to “Travelogue” mode for a few weeks.  On Friday we fly to Prague and embark on a cruise from Prague to Budapest down the Danube River, with stops in beautiful cities and towns along the way.  From Budapest we fly to Barcelona for a few days and end the trip in London.  I will take a three-week hiatus from most competitions and post commentary and photos from our adventures as close to daily as I can manage. I hope you will follow along!

The challenges have different themes and rules.  For some, the photo must be taken the week of the challenge, for others you can dig into your archives.  Some even have prizes.  Many of the sites have pages on Facebook.  Links are included to each challenge and the theme of the challenge is in the caption of each picture.  I think that other photographers enjoy learning about new challenges. You can share links to ones that you enjoy in the comments section so that we can all check them out.
