Description:

Note: If you took part in the previous "Let's Explore" swap you can't reuse the same photos you need to explore new place during the month of June.

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.

Hi, I'm new to Swap-Bot. This is the best swap i've seen! I'd love to join but I have no rating yet. I'm really hoping that you'll be doing this one again next month! (I'll actually have a rating by then! :P)

I love the sound of this swap too. Great having digital cameras so easy to use aren't they. My main concern with this swap is I won't be able to send a found natural item because I live in new Zealand and we have very strict botrder security controls on what we can and cannot send. Mine will have to be a "found shop brought item". I will be looking for next month's (October's swap) as well. Cheers Cazmae55

As for me, here in Brazil we have the same restriction as @cazmae
