Ok, so here are the rules:
1 - Try to take new shots for each theme to post. The idea is to encourage people to get creative and actually take pictures, not just post those that you've taken in the past. It's ok to take pics for future themes if you want, but try to stick to the ones in the list below.
2 - Each person can post up to three different pictures to the thread. This should give everyone the opportunity to try out some different ideas.
3 - Discussion on the thread is highly encouraged. Wanna know how someone got that great shot? ASK, cause there's probably three other people wondering the same thing.
4 - Let's try to keep the pics to a similar size as those on the "contest" threads. No real limit, but it makes it easier on everyone if we don't have to do too much scrolling to see your pics. Try to make it so that no one side of the picture is more than 800 pixels.
5 - Have fun! We're going to do this at least one more week as a "discussion" thread, both to generate more interest and to make sure that everyone is comfortable with posting their pics out there for others to see (I know I'm not the only newbie involved
). But this is supposed to be fun, 'cause even if we do go to a "contest" format, the winner don't get nothin' but braggin' rights. 
I will post a new "theme" each week on Monday sometime (most likely in the mornings, but it depends on what else is goin' on out here in the real world), and the theme will run through the following Monday. Once we get into this a little we may find a different schedule works better, but we'll try it out this way and see how it goes.
*****Here's a hint: If you're planning on playing along in the weeks to come, go ahead and take a look at the upcoming themes at the bottom of this post. That way, you can get a head start and already be thinking along those lines as you're looking for shots for this week's theme!*****
Ok...now for the fun stuff:
This week's theme is: It's A Small World After All
Description: This week, it's all about the Mac...ro. Close up shots, shots of tiny little critters, and pics of individual blades of grass. The assignment this week is to break out those macro lenses and go out to find itsy bitsy subjects (but preferably no spiders...I'm eskeered of 'em ). Have fun!
THREAD END DATE: June 6th, 2008

June 13: Following the Leader (Things in a Line)

Ok...that's it. Now go grab those cameras and get to work!

wvrevy, for making me get up close and personal with my plants; you may have saved this plant's life! Now it's off to find some anti-aphid spray in the shed, but I guess I'd better wait until after the rain is done.
