The Friday Photo: Keep Your Eye on the Bouncing Lemon

It's Friday Photo time, and we're happy to report we've had a lot of great entries from those in quest of a Travel tote bag. So keep 'em coming.

This week's tote bag goes to Anne Provencher of Alexandria, who provided this shot from a trip to Peru. We loved the high quality of the photo, and the lovely story behind it.

Here's what Anne had to say:

I spent two weeks on a volunteer tourism trip to Peru. In addition to hiking the Inca trail, we spent a week helping two local organizations. This photo is from the time spent in the Ccaccacollo village in the Sacred Valley. My host family was a couple and their two daughters --Gregorio was a porter on the Inca trail, his wife, Damalia, wove fabrics as a member of the village's weaving cooperative. I spent my first afternoon playing in the yard with Narbi and Julia. Julia had a plastic ball that broke in half with her enthusiastic throwing into the air -- and into the ground. She went into the house and came out with a lemon and picked up where she left off. In my three-day visit, this and a doll were the only toys I could see that she and her sister possessed. The lemon lasted longer than the plastic ball!

Now it's your turn. Some guidelines:

1. Email ONE photo per week to us travel@washpost.com. Put "Friday Photo" in the subject field, and include your name, address and phone number.

2. Write a paragraph like the one above explaining what's going on in the picture, when you took it and why it's significant to you.

3. Photos should be from a recent trip, voyage, getaway . . whatever you want to call. But keep it within the last month or two.

4. Winners will receive a Travel section trinket (totebag, mousepad, etc.). Winning entries are subject to editing. Employees of The Post and their immediate families are not eligible. No purchase necessary.
