    :thumbsup: Here we are again then, the beginning of a new month again....!
    :) Lyn & Victoria drew for 1st place & Victoria has chosen the them for this month & has given it some thought & come up with this great theme...
    Victoria's choice is
    " A-P-R-I-L.!! :D
    This could be quite a difficult theme
    :WINK1: Good one Victoria..!! :)

    In Victoria's words ....
    Quote:
    This month's photograph by TITLE or SUBJECT MUST BEGIN with one of the letters of the month of April .... ie, Apples or Aardvark ... Ponies or Pines ... etc ... but you can only use the five letters ... something a little different I think with lots of possibilites" ...!! :)

    :WINK1: So again, I am sure none of us can say they have NO inspiration for this theme..!! :WINK1: :D
    It is going to be interesting & I am sure this should tickle the brain cells, well just a little anyway..
    :D


    I hope there will be some very inspired photos if the past is anything to go by & the weather we all have now..!!
    :WINK1:
    :thumbsup:
