It’s time to play tag once again! This challenge is notoriously fickle with the number of entries it receives but it does have a loyal following of members who enter each and every time. I hope to see even more members give it a try. I know that many will become addicted to it when they do!
The tag challenge is a fun challenge that has an element of luck with what tags you draw, and creativity to see what you can do with these tags. Like the get pushed challenge, you are required to work with a subject or technique that may push you out of your comfort zone. And, that is the challenge!
I did give this challenge a long break, as did Helen Jane @helenhall , the previous host. Thank you, Helen for resurrecting and hosting the last challenge! I am also thanking and giving a special shout out to Liz Milne @spanishliz who encouraged me to get the tag challenge up once again.
The rules are easy:
Step 1: Click on the "Browse" section and select the "By Tag" link. Close your eyes and randomly click on a tag.
Step 2: Do it again - no peeking!
You will use those two randomly chosen tags as an inspiration to create one picture that encompasses both tags... or for an added challenge you can try three tags if you want to!
Please CLEARLY state your two (or three) tags when you post your entries as this will let me know what your tags are. You may submit more than one entry -- you may use the same tags or you may randomly choose two new tags.
For this challenge if you have chosen a set of tags that you feel would be impossible to do anything with, rather than skip the challenge, I am asking that you substitute just ONE of your tags, for the host’s tag word ‘FUN’ which I chose with the above method.
Start of challenge: Thursday, August 8th
End of challenge: close of the day (wherever you are) Thursday, August 29th
Tag your entries tag-challenge-161
NOTE - Photos must be taken within the challenge time frame to be considered for a vote.
The number of finalists will be chosen depending on number of entries. Winner will be decided by the people's vote and will get the opportunity to host the next challenge.
ocean, black and white + collage. (I'll substitute sea as I don't live near an ocean) Ooooh,just thought............. I could go on another holiday that's near an ocean!

Thank you for participating, ladies. Very interesting how popular some tags are at the moment - like 'day'. @olivetreeann You certainly lucked out with your tags, Ann! @skipt07 I don't blame you for quitting with those tags, Skip! Good luck getting a rainy day! @homeschoolmom I think your idea would work just fine, Lisa. Have fun, and thank you for participating. @joysabin I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Your tags are so open to creativity!
You won't believe it but I swear it's true. Having finished the 100 portraits of strangers series, I decided to try my luck playing tag. And what did I get? face and new! And I wasn't peeking. So there must be some photographic Entity that wants me to continue with the strangers series.
As I ended up having trouble (and cheating a tiny bit) with my words, I've chosen two new ones: Red and Christmas! Just what we need in August, eh? Should be able to do something though :)
@skipt07
Is it still dry in your area? Did you need to substitute one of your words? You still have almost a week! @homeschoolmom
How about another shot of your fence, Lisa? I saw a pic in the last mundane challenge so I am sure you can get one for this challenge! @joysabin
Your tags give you such artistic licence! Looking forward to seeing what you get out of them.

My picks are "morning" and "family" with the optional third being "insects"!
It would definitely be FUN if you went on another holiday by the sea!

Well - you certainly have to do as you are told!
Thanks for playing tag and looking forward to who you come up with!
That is quite alright ... and it will be interesting to see what you do with your new words!
