We need a theme for August...

I was think watersports.... lots of possibilities there from a kid in a puddle (if it ever rains), pools, boats, swimming, fishing, etc...

Any other ideas?

How about "Just in Time"?
Just in time to catch a sunset or a sunrize, a deer eating, a bug land, a squirrel hanging upside down, a flower open, a wave come in.
What do you think?

Something that we do on some of the photo sites....whoever wins the challenge/contest has to not only judge the next one, but also picks the theme...

How about great examples of Southern IL Architecture...buildings, bridges, monuments.(even the iron furnaces ) ...something man made that is a jewel in Southern IL

Wasn't that one of the rules set up on this one too? I could be wrong, but I thought that was how it was set up.

That'll be an interesting one. I better start keeping my eyes open to the buildings around me when driving around.

I saw something at wally world, at the photo developing area, you give them 12 photos, printed or digital with the month listed you want that photo displayed, I think it was like $16.95 per calender, a litle high but a cool gift for friends and relatives that will appreciate it. I need to get working on that, forst a list of who's gettin one.

I'll look into it as well... We could use the winner from every month for one, and maybe do a wildlife/ scenic one easily with all the great pics on here...

there are several online printers.....and like anything, the more we order the cheaper they get....if it's something we would be interested in doing...I'll do a little price checkiing etc....I may have to call silk worm ...I was getting ready to order calenders for the Chamber, and a set of mushroom ones for me to sell at fall festival...I'd rather spend my money locally, especially if they can meet my labs price!
