2014: Amust-4-August

July 31st, 2014


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 2014’s Amust-4-August.
Please note that the dates are just recommendations and you do not have to stick to them, you can use any of the 38 words in any order you like, if you wish to.

The tag for August will continue in the same format as before, First three letters or the month, the year and then ‘words’.

* So tag your photos with aug14words to see them all here: aug14words .

In total we had 184 words nominated and this is how I have compiled our list:
- First, I removed the words that were used in June and July.
- I then counted up the number of times that the words were nominated. I used all words with more than one nomination.
- Words without a date association were added randomly throughout the month.

The bonus words are: Birthday, Anniversary, Leo & Virgo (star signs) as well as Peridot, Sardonyx (birthstone) gladiola (birth flowers). So, here is our list for August (why they were chosen):

1. 360 degrees (View)
2. Street Scene
3. Sister (Sister’s Day)
4. 365 (find the three numbers)
5. Hot
6. Toes
7. Lighthouse
8. Butterfly
9. Book (Book Lover’s Day)
10. S'Mores
11. Clouds
12. Dog Days
13. Left (International Left Hander’s Day)
14. Earth
15. Relax
16. Wildflowers
17. Fire
18. Garden
19. Aviation
20. Angel
21. Kiss
22. Back to School
23. Marshmallow
24. Mountains
25. Peace
26. Picnic
27. Just Because (Just Because Day)
28. Romance
29. Shade
30. Watermelon
31. Trail Mix

I wish you all luck in your search to fulfill each day.

I'm back in town, just barely - and think this list has a lot that looks very do-able. Thank you once again for keeping it going.

Thanks for letting me know. I haven't done this yet and I sure do struggle to think of something new every day. Think I'll give it a try this month!

Tried to do a 360 degrees shot!

Thank you for doing this, Debra.

@678tabby Great shot June. I noticed that your photo didn't post with the rest of the monthly word photos. Looking at your tag, it looks like you missed the "s", it is plural. Just thought you might want to edit it.

@bulldog Thanks for clearing that up Bulldog. I didn't realize that everyone didn't know...might be an American thing. I don't like them myself, but they do seem to be quite the craze here.

@debrac Thanks for that Debra, I have edited the tag now!

Day three and I'm still on track. I know I will struggle with this challenge as I am surrounded by such tempting scenery and birds etc. However it will be a good learning experience to tackle such a great variety of subjects.

@bulldog Thanks bulldog - we don't have these here - I might have to use Mallow Puffs instead.
