Time for a new challenge folks

[Don]

OK, start thinking about a challenge for November everyone. It will be here before you know it.

[Luv2shoot]

I thought I would post this list of ideas that I came across. Maybe you can use some of these. I know how hard it is to come up with an idea.
Don't even ask me to explain what some of these mean, but it was easy to copy and paste these ideas for you all to look at. We have done several of these but we certainly could do a repeat.

Wow, thanks Lorell. That should keep us busy for a while with the monthly challenges.

[Dave]

I tried to come up with general themes that are broad enough to generate entries from everyone, living anywhere. So far I have...

Transportation: cars & trucks, bicycles, unicycles, motorcycles, skate boards, ice skating, roller blading, surfing, baby carriages, boats of all sizes and forms, hang-gliders, aircraft, hot air balloons, ziplines, etc. Seems like anyone could find something appropriate.

Outdoors: flora, fauna, skies, clouds, landscapes, waterscapes, weather, sunrise & sunset, sports, architecture, construction & demolition, urban photography, fairs and festivals and parades, gardening, pets, kids at play, macros. Another pretty broad category.

Indoors: everyday objects, still lifes, cooking, books & libraries, museums, chess & card games, activities like billiards & table tennis, arcades, tools, rooms or areas dedicated to one's pastimes (painting & drawing, photography of course, woodworking, sewing and other needlework), etc.

I'll always say DOF/Bokeh, but that's a given for me.
So, instead, how about out of focus background/foreground :-D

[Don]

Lot's of good ideas here folks. Who is going to step up and select one? Tomorrow starts a new month!

[Man From Ironbark]

Well, that's today for me.
So a pinch and a punch for the first day of the month?
-First thing you see in the morning

Wake up and smell the roses?
