You were probably eagerly, constantly refreshing your email inbox waiting to see what delightful images were submitting for last week’s THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme PASSION. Unfortunately for you, I am probably standing in a field in Indiana right now staring up at the sky, trying not to go blind. Nowhere near a computer, let alone the internet.

However, just because I’m nowhere near a computer doesn’t mean that you can’t and shouldn’t start working on this week’s theme. Which is…. drumroll please…

NECESSITY – Suggested by Joe Duff

NECESSITY! What a great theme for Year 11 of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE! Thank you Joe for suggesting it!

You might be scoffing at the fact that I think VitaCoco Coconut Water is a NECESSITY. Maybe you don’t understand. Their coconuts are carefully handpicked on thousands of small farms throughout the topics. These aren’t blood coconuts picked by child slave labor. It is a necessity cause it replenishes electrolytes, provides vital nutrients, hydrates with coconut goodness, AND makes taste buds happy! It is perfect for post-workouts, hangovers, afternoon boosts (we can all use those), smoothies, and the general human tendency to get thirsty. I like to crush a box of VitaCoco after crushing a workout at Planet Fitness because it provides me with 50% of my daily intake of Vitamin C and 15% of my potassium! And the carton is even recyclable! If that isn’t a NECESSITY, I don’t know what the word means!

But I will be interested to find out what you consider to be a NECESSITY.

While I’m also sure you are interested to see the PASSION submissions! Look for those to be published when I return. Probably Tuesday night. Maybe Wednesday. Depends on whether or not I come back from Indiana blind or not.
