April 2017 - 30 Things in Thirty Days ??

Jeanb and I are wondering if anyone would be interested in doing something in April ?

After a couple of months break we are hopeful of getting something going again...
Would love to hear if you have any fresh ideas and enthusiasm to start over.
Scavenger Hunts were always popular so here is my suggestion ( not binding so please feel free to offer another idea :idea:

Doing this early to give everyone time to see and think about it. It's my thought that the rules not be rigid, use archive images if that's all you have time for. There are 35 suggestions to give you some extras to work off...but lets talk about it if you want it another way.

I hope we can all get back together again...please invite your friends too

30 Things in Thirty Days

1- A candid photo of a stranger
2- A garden seat or bench
3- A fruit seed or stone
4- Something or someone cute
5- A For Sale sign
6- An outdoor house or garden decoration

8- An Easter decoration
9- An Easter egg

14- A fire hydrant or fire hose
15- Your currency
16- Decorative wall art
17- Someone smiling
18- A shoe / sandal / slipper
19- Something Pink
20- A hobby item
21- Street advertising / billboard
22- Something sticky
23- An old family photo
24- A yellow car
25- Your reflection
26- A book cover
27- Something cold
28- A board game
29- A glass of something

Super list Laine, should be something for everyone here. Mind you, for the life of me I pretty well guarantee that I won't be able to find either a chicken or a palm tree! Maybe could change that to 'bird' and 'tree'?
I assume they can be in any order?
Count me in.

No problems Jean. I made it a palm leaf as part of the Easter theme, now you have a choice, tree or palm leaf , while the other now is simply a bird :D

Of course, any order & there are 5 extra choices to cover the 30 days of April.

It's been, for me, such a lllllong time away.
I did miss all of you...
Laine, Lynnh, Jolka, Laroseforest, Mairead, Jeanb and quite a few others...lets hope some "males" will come back too...
Been through a lot. Not quite through the woods yet, crossing my fingers and feeling your energy.
Would really love to....be part again of this wonderful group that we use to form all together...
So please, count me in and i can only try to do my best.
Hug to everyone here!
Love the idea that we can also use pictures from the past...
Laine....you are a sweetheart. Thank you for this great initiative.
Count me in....as much as i can. Hopefully.
Ciao for now... x

I'll have a go, and I'm male!

But please remember, pancakes are not so common all year round here as they are in the U.S. (and perhaps other places). We had our pancake race in town this last Tuesday!

I'm in. I retired last October, so I no longer have the excuse of "no time." I have posted a PAD every day since Jan. 1st.

Thank you for reviving this forum Laine. I participated in a lot of monthly and weekly challenges here over the years and always enjoyed it very much. I wish I could commit to doing this challenge on a daily basis, but it seems the older I get, the busier I get. If you don't mind my participating just a few days in April with fresh images, then I am in. I will try to dip into the archives for some of the others.
Best,
Walter
