Monthly Photo Comp October 2011..!!

This thread will open on 1st October 2011
Here we are again then, the beginning of a new month again....!

Wolfiekate was our winner last month & she has given it some thought & come up with this great theme...
Wilfiekate's choice is "Seasonal Colours Winter Solstice & Halloween Creations"!! :D
This could be a wonderful theme as the plants are starting to look fabulous now , in a different way .. :WINK1: Good theme..!!

So, in Wolfiekate's words ....
Quote:
This month it is the Winter Solstice or Samhain on the 31st & the more modern Halloween.. It is Harvest Time & the colours everywhere are starting to look stunning.. Lots of us make our own decorations for this time of the month.... :D
:WINK1: So as always, 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:
