Weekly Challenge: Native / Exotic

This week's challenge is Native / Exotic. I apopogize to the old timers here, but I just discovered that this challenge was used almost two years ago. Since everyone was warned last week this would be the challenge, I'm going to stick with it, however. I think it was tough in 2008, and it may be again. Good luck with it.

This challenge will end at 12:00 Noon CST, on February 7, 2010, first Sunday of the month.

Remember, anyone can join! Just post your entries--as few or as many as you'd like--on your blog and leave us a comment here. All media are welcome--paintings, photography, collages, drawings, sculpture, poetry, whatever you'd like.

And as a teaser, the challenge for the following week will be: Safe / Passage.
