Except this week, since it was announced today, you can start shooting pics today. I think. :)

Yes, I think we all knew what the theme would be so why not get a few more days to shoot...

Just no BBQs!!! :D

Rule number 2 states all entries must be in by 4/30/08. Which one of us has entered the twilight zone?

I don't care if you post a BBQ shot or not to be real honest with you. Just seems that is the easy way out since we have already had a past winner with a BBQ shot for a holiday theme.

Yes, I think one shouldn't be able to determine what can and cannot be shot in accordance with the week's theme. That may just squelch anyone's creative juices.

If the theme is Memorial Day - No BBQs then that's the theme, not my input on it.

As I said, now pulling from a list of themes I have compiled from around the 'Net so that instead of us pulling our hair out waiting for winners to submit themes we have a list ready to pull from at all times.

I was hoping for a sunset tonight, had to settle for some wind to kick the flag up a bit...

They are all good, but Jeffro...wow. The colors in that picture are beautiful.


I think the flag theme is a good one for this week. It represents the reason we do what we do.

It doesn't tug at your heartstrings like the others, but it's how we enjoyed the holiday weekend. And at least it's not a BBQ. :D
