Time to suggest some words for August

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

We had some really great words in July and now id the time to nominate your words for Just-4-August.

As always It could not be easier…
Simply Nominate your word to this forum post and it may be included. You can nominate as many words as you like and if you see a word you like, just add it again... (the more times a word is mentioned, the more chance it will be used). I will then count up the number of times that a word has been added and the top 31 will be our list for aug13words.

Please make your suggestions for ‘Just-4-August’ between now (21nd) and 6pm next Sunday (28th) for them to be included. As always, if you have a word that you would like to see on a particular day, please nominate which day as well, for example: 13th Left (for Left Hander's Day) or 30th Marshmallow (for Toasted Marshmallow Day).

The bonus words for August will be; Birthday, Anniversary, Leo, Virgo (star signs) and Sardonyx, Peridot (birth stones) so you do not need to suggest those.

I like the idea of being able to use the food of the day on the calendar you found as an alternative if the day for that day does not work.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

June? I thought it was July. I might not be doing the whole month as I'm joining the photography book club next month- but as always, I'll probably pop in for at least a day or two. So here's a couple ideas:

August 31 is my husband's birthday- his favorite color is blue, his favorite music is the blues, his eyes are blue- are we seeing a pattern here?

And a couple random things:
band aid
cookie
tea cup
over or under exposed

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Love the idea of Band Aid and Cookie..

What do you mean about June?

@olivetreeann

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Quote: The bonus words for June will be; Birthday, Anniversary, Leo, Virgo (star signs) and Sardonyx, Peridot (birth stones) so you do not need to ‘suggest’ those.

Did you mean August?

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Fixed now... Thanks Ann

@olivetreeann

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bulldog No problem! Hard to type a chuckle in when you're ribbing someone!

[Laura]

I like:-

National Left Handed Day
Diptych
Back to School
Book Lovers Day &
Tools of Creativity.

I wish to suggest:-

Lammas Day (or Lughnasa) for 1st August &
Running (or Colour) on 24th August - as in Belfast on that date there is a 5km Colour Run for 2 Cancer Charities.

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Love 'Running Colour' and Lammas!!!!

We celebrate both Women's day and Arbour day here (South Africa) in August. We're about to go into Spring and everything seems pregnant with possibility & I also have 2 friends who are about to give birth this week.

I like the idea of Flavours & Oily.

@jodimuli

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Love 'waterfall' as I am heading up to Scotlandshire in August

@mcmary

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

'Bucket list' is an interesting one, it would be great to see what people come up with.

@pandorasecho

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

I like the idea of 'Pregnant' that could be interesting, maybe we could have 'Woman or Pregnant'?

@steff

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

5th = Beer Day - It's a must!

@cookie123

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

'Tools of Creativity' Nice one

@rainechan

[Dixie Goode]

How about panoramic
We could do a series that would cover 3-7 days in calendar view

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

I love that idea Dixie, but for me, the temptation would be to take them all on the same day?

Maybe we could suggest a line, that way we could take seven different shots, but still create a line through the middle of our calendar?

@pandorasecho
