July Words of the Month

[Wendy]

The year is now half over and we are heading for Christmas once again. I sometimes marvel the way life is like a river, ever changing as it flows. It reminds me of the Garth Brooks song ‘The River’ that I love so much!

Here is the link if you are interested even though it has nothing to do with the July words except that I am listening to it as I type them!

This month is going to be a bit different from the rest with a theme for each day. It will be Monotone Mondays (not necessarily just B&W), Tech Tuesdays (technology in photos) Worms Eye Wednesdays (get down low) Texture Thursdays (show texture), Framed Fridays (natural framing or otherwise) Surreal Saturdays (have fun with this) and Simple Sundays (think minimalism).

Try to do the words with the suggested themes, but if you find it impossible, just do the words as normal. The themes are given just to get you thinking how you can make the shot a little bit different and add a twist to it. As we always say on 365, it is your challenge!


For newer members, the word of the month is a great place to dip your toes into. This challenge is also a great place for older members who occasionally lose their mojo and need ideas or inspiration. It can be a great challenge for those who want to go that extra nine yards to do a full month of words. The choice is yours!

The tag for the month will continue in the same format as before, first three letters of the month, the year and then ‘words’ (jul18words).

Feel free to do one word, a few, or all of them. They can be done in any order you choose, or on the suggested day. Pop in daily, or just on occasion. This is your challenge, and your project. Until next month, enjoy!

Thank you, Wendy

@farmreporter Thank you so much Wendy. Sometimes I'll do a word on more than one day. Should I be doing that? I wonder if others do that?

[Wendy]

@mittens
I do not see why you couldn't do a word on more than one day. Some words just lend themselves to more than one intrepretation or image.
Again - your project, your rules!
Go for it!

@ideetje @olenadole

@joysabin
I also find these words helpful when the mojo runs dry!
I always vow to do each one for a full month but life does get in the way. I appreciate the fact that they are there when I can do them.
