What does reward mean to you?
By I look at this photo and my heart grows three sizes. Last September, I had the opportunity to travel to Park City, Utah, where I enjoyed a very active week running, hiking, and biking on and around mountains just starting to show fall color. On Sunday morning, we drove to Solitude, enjoyed a yummy breakfast, and hiked the mountain. Partway up, we discovered a clear, calm, mountain lake and this stunning vista — our reward for the hike.

Reward is filthy with possibility: it could be your third grader’s beaming smile after reading her first chapter book, a steaming mug of chicken soup after a long run in the cold, a photo of your brand-new baby — your reward for patience during nine months of construction, or your extended family gathered around the dinner table.
Can’t wait to see how you interpret this challenge. Have fun!

This is much easier than last week, and I don’t feel like I have to be in a rush to complete it. Thank you.

There’s never a rush! You’re welcome to respond to the challenge as your time allows. Pingbacks remain open.

I know, Krista, but now that the pingbacks rotate, I don’t have to hurry and try to get at the top of the pingbacks. I love the new rotation system. It is fair and gives everyone a chance to be at the top of the list. 🙂

Reward is multidimensional so it could be… a view from the top of the mountains http://wp.me/p4mUeK-CE or a postcard from… a friend on the other side of the globe http://wp.me/p4mUeK-DZ ~Enjoy

Took this quite literally (unusual for me). Reward = your ‘just desserts’. That’s what I photographed!

Well, it seems that my pingbacks never work for some reason, so I just keep posting my pics here. I couldn’t think about a better reward than a nice cup of coffee anyway 😉

Hi Cindy,
Thanks for reporting the pingback problem! You’re right — I can find no pingbacks recorded on the seven photo challenges I can see from your blog. Things look good from my end — I can’t replicate the issue you’re seeing when I try posts from Fontfolio, your theme. I’ve asked our developer to take a look into this for you.
