***The Theme and Timeline for the November Photo Contest***

HAB911, having won the October contest, came up with the theme for the November contest! It's a very creative idea and one that I find most intriguing. Behold:

His choice: “Something I cherish”, cherish: treat with affection and tenderness; hold dear, keep fondly in mind; treasure. Personal or Public, anything you truly cherish.

And here's the timeline:
Submissions: Nov. 9th till Nov. 16th
Preliminary polls: Nov. 17 through 19
Final poll: As soon as possible after the prelims are done.

There will be one entry per member, and it must be original work. Also, it must not have been entered before in any of our photo contests.

I want to have everything wrapped up well before Thanksgiving (and my birthday!)

Have a great time picking out what you cherish!

a bunch of sappy photos designed to "tug at our heartstrings". I expect a lot of puppies and cute kids. *

I don't expect sappy photos, actually. And I'll bet you don't either!

We shall see!

I went out to specifically take photos for this theme. On my way home, I was stopped by something else I cherish--but not my subject--which was the memory of many wonderful train trips.
