Description:

What I want you to do for this swap is go for a walk, a hike or a bike ride and go exploring. Doesn't matter where, forest, city, town, park etc whereever you want just make sure it's a safe area. Bring your camera with you and take pictures of anything you think is interesting or may interest your partner (example architecture, public art, landscapes, wildlife etc). You'll need to print your pictures and then write a comment on the back of each about the subject in the picture, letting your partner know what it is or why you took a picture of it.

As you explore you also must keep your eye out for a found item to send your partner. It can either be a natural found object like a pretty stone, shell, flower (Note: Don't pick up and send anything if you don't know what it is and make sure you clean the item as best you can before mailing) Or it can be a bought found item however you must buy the item from a store you've never been in before (you discovered it as you were exploring). Whether you choose to send a natural item or a store bought make sure to keep your partners interests in mind as you explore.

The final thing you need is a letter to send your partner about your trip exploring. What did you do? example "I stopped for a picnic, explored a cave etc" What did you see? example " There where some beautiful blue herons but they wouldn't let me get close enough to take a picture" How did you feel? "The weather was very nice, it was relaxing and I found some cool things" EtC (those are just samples write whatever inspires you regarding your trip)

So 3 things you need to send: 1. Photos with comments written on the back (minium of 5) 2. 1 found item either natural or bought 3. A letter about the trip.

Requirements: 4.9 or higher rating. Newbies welcome with a filled out profile.

I'm hoping this swap will be a success so we can do this monthly.

I onluyuse a digital camera so I am hoping it is ok to write on the page below or next to the picture rather than on the back. This sounds like a fun thing to work on when I go visit my mom in the city - a good excuse toget out of the house - and go exploring!
