October '15 Word List

[Debra]

Do you ever struggle with photo ideas for each day? If so, this is the challenge for you. Each day has a word assigned to it for you to use your imagination in capturing. Please feel free to join us, if you haven’t already. You can make it a challenge to get through the whole month, or come and go as you please.

Thank you to all who suggested words for October '15 Word List.

Please note that the dates are just recommendations and you do not have to stick to them, you can use any of the 40 words in any order you like.

The tag for October will continue in the same format as before, First three letters of the month, the year and then ‘words’ (oct15words).

* So tag your photos with oct15words to see them all here:
oct15words

This is how I have compiled our list:
I first removed all words that have been used in the last 2 months. I then removed all dates without a word association. Next I totaled all the words that were nominated more than once. The top 31 nominated words made the list. If a word did not have a date associated with it, those words were added randomly throughout the month.

The bonus words are: Birthday, Anniversary, Libra, Scorpio (star signs), Tourmaline and Opal (birthstone) and Marigold, Calendula and Cosmos (birth flowers).

And here is the list:

1. Travel
2. Blanket
3. Abandoned
4. Lightbulb
5. Orange
6. Pumpkin
7. Cemetery
8. Lace
9. Smile
10. Weather
11. Fear
12. Boat/Ship
13. Playing
14. Frost/Defrost
15. Geese
16. Stop
17. Throne
18. Waiter
19. Candy
20. Pie
21. Warmth
22. Cat
23. Scarecrow
24. Tapestry
25. Black
26. Scary
27. Bat
28. Cozy
29. Pocket
30. Spooks
31. Costume

I hope everyone enjoys their search for October's words.

@mittens You are on the list Marilyn. There have been others that haven't received the notifications in the past. They have to be notified separately. I'll put you on that list, and hopefully it will take care of the problem. If you don't receive future notifications, let me know.
