Summer Photo Challenge

The crazy days of summer are upon us and with it, memorable moments just begging to be photographed!

Crazy Days of Summer Photo Challenge

I’m thrilled to be teaming up with the fabulous Alicia of Project Alicia for the Crazy Days of Summer Photo Challenge – a super fun summer photography meme aimed at capturing the lazy crazy days of summer.

The Crazy Days of Summer Photo Challenge will run from June 3rd to August 26th and is open to everyone. Each Friday (posts will go live at 12:01am) participants are encouraged to share their favorite images inspired by the weekly theme.

Live and Love Out Loud

Please share your photos with others by linking directly to your Crazy Days of Summer blog post or Flickr photo, not your blog’s home page or Flickr Photostream. Feel free to share your photos in our Crazy Days of Summer Flickr Group as well.

The linky will remain open from 12:00am Friday – 11:59pm Wednesday.

Make a few new friends by visiting and commenting on the previous entry in the linky list.

Each Thursday, a few of our favorite images from the Crazy Days of Summer Photo Challenge will be selected and featured at Project Alicia and Live and Love Out Loud.

Alicia and I are so excited about sharing our crazy days of summer with you and can’t wait to see your photos. Have fun!

It’s easy! If you’d like to write a blog post for the Crazy Days of Summer, just stop by and link it up on the linky (much like the Wordless Wednesday linky) on Friday. My post (and Alicia’s) will go live at 12:01am on Friday. As for Flickr, it’s awesome. Basically, you can upload your photos into your very own photostream (your personal stream of photos) and designate whether or not you want the photos to be public or private. You can also share them with a group by adding it to its group pool, which is what you’d do if you’re planning to share your photos with our Flickr Group. If you need more help, I’d be more than happy to email you later on tonight with more specific directions. Just let me know! Tweet met @TweetingMama or email me back. kristinohea{at}gmail.com Have a great day, Cori.

I’ve added mine to the Flikr photo group – I think – but like the first commenter, I’m new to Flikr. Did I do it right?
At any rate, thank you for hosting. I’m a follower, and this hop is found on a page on my site that lists more than 250 hops, memes, and photo challenges… some for each day of the week. Check under the header for the link to that page. I’ve also just started a BlogFrog community that focuses on hops, carnivals, memes, and photo challenges. Go to http://theblogfrog.com/1504201 to visit & participate.
I hope you’ll visit me soon. I follow back!

You definitely linked it up right on Flickr. I looked through all of the photos you submitted and commented on a few as well. Thanks so much for joining us in our Crazy Days of Summer, Sue. I hope you’ll give the next challenge a go too. It’s “refreshing.” Thanks again, Sue. Have a great week. :)

So do you have to upload them to Flickr? Or can you just put the image on your blog?
