Here’s how it works:

1. Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.

2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.

3. Follow The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements, and subscribe to our newsletter – we’ll highlight great photos from each month’s most popular challenge.

Wishing you peace and joy all through 2014!

China Fall 2013 007

A friend has been wanting to go to Big Pizza, an “all-you-can-eat” buffet featuring pizza some you’d find in the U.S. or Italy like margarita and others a bit more exotic, like banana (which I passed on). They’ve got drinks, including beer, salads, and desserts all for 55 rmb, about $9.

It’s beginning to look a lot like . . .

Teddy Bear Christmas tree in the making

Christmas!

The stores in Jinan seem to have been caught off guard by the coming of Christmas, but they’re still going to have lots of decorations. Not sure why they’re so late as sales are advertised for the 20th to the 25th here.

This tree’s at Parc 66 mall downtown.
