Wild Weekly Photo Challenge: Flowers!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
We’re pretty sure flowers
Come in other colors too!

You guessed it, the theme for this week’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge is Flowers! Flowers not only help a plant reproduce, but since prehistoric times they’ve been admired and used by people for decoration, ritual, medicine, and even as food. Head out into the great outdoors for this challenge and find some beautiful (or unusual) flowers!

On Wednesday, February 6th (at 2pm EST, so be sure to submit your entries before that time, even at 1:59pm!) we’ll choose 1 judge’s choice winner, 5 runner ups, and 1 audience choice winner & share their entries here on LetsBeWild.com! Send your friends to this page to leave a comment-vote for your entry to win the audience choice award!

Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter by signing up on the right sidebar, so that you can keep updated about the challenge winners and our upcoming challenges!

Here are the quick & easy Challenge rules – please read them carefully so that you can be entered in the running to win!

To enter the challenge, create a new blog entry titled “Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – Flowers!” and Copy and Paste the html code in the box below into your blog entry to let your followers know that you’re participating in the Photo Challenge so that they can join in the fun too.

Take one or more photos of flowers outdoors.

The Audience Choice Winner will be decided based upon which entry below receives the most comments on this page – tell your friends and family to come and reply with a comment below your entry here on LetsBeWild.com! Everyone can vote for as many entries as they like.

Comment on this page with the URL to your blog entry! After 7 days, we will announce the 1st Place Winner, Audience Choice Winner, and 5 Honorable Mention Winners, all of whom will have their winning shots with a link to their blog featured here on LetsBeWild.com

Be sure to visit the blogs of other people entering the Weekly Challenge & leave them some comment love too!
