I am out and about and on the open road. Nowhere near a computer. Not in any shape to put together a collection of submissions for PATHS. I’m on my own PATH(s) right now. Probably somewhere in southeast Iowa. Depending on how good of time I’m making. I might be in an old timey general store right now. Or maybe I’m looking at a historical marker. Admiring some new art or some old ruins. It is hard to say. One thing for sure is that I’m not near a computer and I’m not ready to put together a post of your submissions.

However, you should start working on your ideas for this week’s theme. But what is this week’s theme?

SIGNS

SIGNS! What a great theme for Year 9 of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE.

But what is a SIGNS photo? Quite simply is is a photo of a SIGN(s) or of SIGNS. SIGNS. SIGNS. There are SIGNS everywhere. Messing up the scenery. Breaking my mind. Do this, don’t do that. Can’t you read the SIGN(s)?

But one thing you should definitely do is find an interesting SIGN(s) and photograph it in an interesting manner. Of course there is more than one definition of the term SIGNS.

While considering your possible subjects for your picture, meditate on the following quote:

The very contradictions in my life are in some ways signs of God’s mercy to me.
-Thomas Merton

I look forward to seeing your interpretation.

I will post the submissions for PATHS later today, depending on when I get home. Sometime late in the evening.
