April word nominations time

March 24th, 2014
Consider word suggestions for Appoint-4-April, then post them here. The month has really gotten away from me. I haven't even had a chance to load many of my pictures. Oh, where does the time go.

We have had some great photos for March, so far. Keep up the good work.

Now it’s time to decide your words for April 2014.

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 greater the chance it will be used). I will then count up the number of times that a word has been added and the top 30 will be our list for the apr14words.

Please make your suggestions for “Appoint-4-April” between now (3/23) and 12 a.m. Sunday, March 30th, 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: 1st Fool (for April Fools Day) or 20th Egg (for Easter).

You can check out more dates here:
April Holidays

There are seven bonus words for April and these will be; Birthday, Anniversary, Aries, Taurus (star signs) as well as Diamond (birthstone) Sweat Pea or Daisy(birth flowers), so you do not need to ‘suggest’ those.

For the 'Old and New' idea, there could be a number of options:

1. Post your New photo and post/link to a copy of the Old photo

2. Use Sandy's diptych suggestion and put the two photos side by side. (Pickmonkey can help with this)

3. Hold the old photo up and take a shot of both, like these.

4. Merge the old and new, like this:

@bulldog This would make it interesting and challenging and no one has to do all the words.
March 27th, 2014
I like many of the subjects suggested, but would have difficulty with USA spring and various calendar days. It is Autumn here, so I would enjoy a global community subject.
I like Old/new and @awsadler68 Artist in April. Both of these subjects are wide open to interpretation.
March 30th, 2014
sacrifice, resurrection, bonnet/hat, lighter (as in UK nights), hot cross buns

@bulldog love this idea of option 3 might have to give it a go, off to hunt out old photographs to try it with
