    I keep meaning to go out into the garden to try and get some photos but it's just to cold. :(
    And me being a big baby in the dark isn't helping :D

    Good evening Lol Its just that I cannot seem to get any shots with any creatures in them and I am not sure that My street scenes would fit under the Nature Theme But I still have
    3 Days to go and I'm still trying. [​IMG]

    Nature is life, woo, to me at least ... I have no creatures in two of mine ... I have mushrooms, my demented cat and night clouds and a moon.

    How does one interpret nature at night? what is nature in the day? Is it not the world around us?

    Anyway, my silly interpretation ...

    [​IMG] I agree with you LoL.. Nature is all around you in many forms & one of the things that makes our comps so interesting is the fact as you say Woo.. We all interpret it in our own way... So lets see what you can come up with your night shots are very good. [​IMG]

    [​IMG] "Good Luck" everyone as there really are some super night pics... [​IMG] [​IMG]

    [​IMG] I agree Lyn, I also think that includes the moon, water & inanimate objects connected with nature & any of the 4 elements ... [​IMG] I think it is good the way the members manage to come up with so many interpretations of a theme... [​IMG]

    It's strange how one person can look at something and see it in such different ways.
    I have seen so much more since taking photographs instead of just snaps.
    I still have a lot to learn but I am enjoying it very much.
    I have started to see nature all around me instead of being told whats there, if you get what I mean. [​IMG]
