Nov's challenge, "Mornings" is getting lots of play! Thanks guys for the terrific entries, still time for more & a special thanks to Dee & Misha for entering each one on to the challenge page :]
In the meantime we need to decide upon Dec's theme,
here's our current list, with a few new suggestions added:
**
(I removed "disposal camera" as I really don't think it'd be practical for everyone)
open to new suggestions too, looks like there's some good ones here

Disposal camera please Damm!! Street signs then :o)

How about "Street Signs (Odd)"? ... Or even "Signs (Odd)" That would be undoctored images in which the scene, road or setting are out of sync with the sign. Humor -- especially unintended humor would certainty qualify ... e.g. an on ramp near enough to a "No Outlet" sign to make you wonder, "What are they trying to tell us"? (just pick the right setting and camera angle ... ) MGD P.S. Yes, I have seen that ... No, I don't remember where. Probably somewhere near the Long Island Expressway where an access ramp and a small local street are adjacent. LOL

Street Signs or "Sign of some type not necessarily a street sign.

I personally like the theme: Opposites As it is winter up north and hard for a lot of us northern folk to shoot in bad weather - between rain, sleet, and snow storms. Perhaps street signs might be a good one for the spring?? But that is just my input :) Dee-Marie

Ehm... Opposites then... :o)

I verify on my dictionnary..."The opposites" them seems to me the one that can encourage the most "creativity" :-)))

@deemarieWinter??? Really??? Time just marches by.
Just as an example ... an example that I really like,
that is, please review this poem that comes down to us from
the English Renaissance, "A Farewell to Arms". The first line is,
"His golden locks Time hath to silver turned"
@Sylvaine
opposites -> creativity
It is, oddly enough, close to the intention of my
suggestion, "Signs (Odd)".
Spring would be better for getting pictures of outdoor
signs. So change my vote to "The opposites".
Probably, I will still watch for a snow-covered "Sign(Odd)"
opportunity ... just in case ... except when driving. LOL

P.S. Was "Prized Possession" ever used as a challenge?
I was wondering what t____ ... ooooooooppps, never mind.

I say "life"...that will at least give me a chance to get an entry in! The Morning theme this month is great but I get up too late for that. LIFE is pretty open..yikes, is it!

All this is still new to me, so I'm happy to go with the flow, however before I even read the other votes, my mind was coming up with ideas for "Opposites". I'll throw my lot in for that topic. :)
