I think we're gonna let our CAP #22 food challenge run til tonight or tomorrow morning to give everyone time to post Thanksgiving food photos!! :P

But I wanted to go ahead and post this week's challenge to give you guys time to do #23.


The Seasons. Beautiful changes occur in nature 4 times a year. Our lifestyles, activties, even the clothes we wear wax & wane as the seasons do.

For this week's challenge I want you to take a photo(s) that represents or shows the seasons by theme. And seeing as how everyone is super busy this time of year, you can look through your stash of photos and use something from earlier in the year, obviously. Although I highly encourage if you have the time to try to take something new, at least for the season you're in now! :)

The photo(s) can be a nature shot theme, or you or your kids/family doing an activity that's season specific, or maybe you want to highlight a holiday that happens during a certain time of year. (for example: Easter photos to represent spring, 4th of July fireworks to represent summer, Halloween to represent fall and your Christmas tree to represent winter.

The possibilities are endless. Get creative, and think outside the box!! :D

If you have any questions please feel free to post them or email me. I'm here to help.

You have from*Friday Nov 27th*to*Thursday Dec 3rd*to shoot your photos for this theme. Below are some examples to get the creative juices flowing. Good luck and I look forward to seeing everyones photos!

Make your 4 themed photos into 1 image by making them into a collage or "slideshow" as illustrated below!
I chose the theme of weather/nature/landscape to represent my seasons...

shhh, don't tell anyone...but i sorta cheated on my "winter" photo. yes that's a photo of our house and it's snowing...HARD. but unfortunately that great shot didn't happen during the winter. we live in Texas, east texas to be exact and we have a very moderate climate for the winter. however 2 years ago on Easter Sunday in April it dropped down in the 20s and snowed steadily ALL day. it broke all records, snowing so late into the spring and so much. but i thought it rounded out my "theme nicely"! :teehee:

REMEMBER:
- You may post up to 2 photos per challenge.
- Post-processing and use of actions ARE ALLOWED.
- Photos must be taken by you during the challenge week.
- Photos must be posted in the *new* PHOTOGRAPHY gallery & in this thread.
- PLEASE SIZE PICS to no larger than 600px WIDE and/or TALL.*

Almost forgot to post my entry for this one! Even though we tend to joke around here that we only have 2 seasons - Winter & Construction - I did manage to find some photographic proof of the others on my hard drive lol.. Enjoy!

I agree with Pixelchick about seasons. I sure had trouble finding any proof on my harddrive until we moved here, and we've only been here since the summertime! So I chose to do the new seasons we've seen this year.

Spring: Graduation from college
Summer: Oliver was born
Autumn: New Hampshire has one of the most beautiful autumns in the world. People come from all over the world to see it.
Winter: The ornament in Oliver's hand is one of my oldest ornaments from when I was a kid.
