It Begins Now.
Have fun with this, we know we will have fun reading all the submissions. Remember to check out our new Monday Challenge as well.
Not a writer? Check out our new Photography Challenge on Mondays.
Every Monday we put out a photography challenge. The photographs are to show the world something involving the USA. It could be a place, a thing, nature, etc, as long as it has to do with the USA. One photograph from Monday will also be used in the next Thursday Writing Challenge as the prompt. Stay tuned for Monday's challenge.
Have Fun :)
Are you from or living in the USA? Come join SteemUSA, the group that represents the proud USA.
@topkpop - fess up. Did you start all the heron's accounts so we can crack up?
It worked!!!!
We're just attracted to other herons.
hahaha I know that you nest in big groups LOL
Here is my entry, Waiting for Tomorrow
Wonderful job! Thank you so much for joining the challenge.

I used the photo from the challenge post but sourced it. Please let me know if that is not ok.
That works perfectly! Thank you for sourcing it. Great submission. Thanks so much for joining in on the fun.

Great story! You outdid yourself. Thank you so much for joining.
Thank you so much for your kind words @steemusa! It is a pleasure to have had the chance to join this amazing contest. Have a most wonderful weekend!
Wow. Feeling special.
RussianCrainingHeronian Bots created just for our challenge! lolThey are a hoot aren't they? haha
That would be owls.
Are you a bot? Why do you upvotes all of my comments? It clogs my alert feed...
I cracked up when I saw the convo of all the herons LOL
I'm awake in the middle of the night. (My night) I may as well write about that time the great blue heron laughed at us canoeing the rapids. Just between you and me, @mariannewest, I figured out why I can't get my sleep right. I'm having another (mild) encounter with cat scratch fever. And yeah technically herons aren't cranes but ... Hmm ...
Oh no. Hope you get all well soon. And a bird is a bird is a bird. (I hope the heron bots don't see this comment or they are going to come after me LOL)
LoL I think you're baiting them. I would never do such a thing ;-)
Yeah, don't get Goliath mad, have you seen how big he is?
LoL no I've not seen how big he is. How big is he?
This is a great idea. Kudos to you. :)
Thank you! We are certainly excited about adding these new challenges regularly :)
Love it! ♥
Looking forward to seeing where people take this. :D
We can definitely say all participants ran very well with the prompt! So excited to see what they bring again next week :)
I feel left out.
You feel left out? What about me?
No respect, I'm telling you.
It's just a contest, lighten up a little.
It's a pretty amazing day when you get to tell anybody to lighten up, Night.
What are you even doing here? This is a Steem USA contest. You live in Africa.
You remember what you guys did last time I stopped watching.
What are these bird related accounts and why does the night heron keep voting on my comments?
haha. Well, it is the little blue heron's time to shine this time around.
Excited to see some submissions already! I had to take part as well as I am super excited about this one.
