Danger ahead

Sadly this Danger sign is also a very sad sign to see.

Lynn, the idea is great, but how will we know when these happen, and do we keep them in the order they appear?

Another idea for a challenge is "Contrasts" or "Opposites" e.g., large/small, dark/light, old/modern.

I wasn't intending to do the list by the date of the holiday. It was just another Scavenger Hunt, with the subjects being Awareness.

Actually, Contrasts sounds pretty good too!! I hope we hear from some others, time is running out.

Thinking about Lynn’s May Challenge suggestions.

In New Zealand we don’t have all those AWARENESS holidays, but I think it’s a great idea. I’m sure all of us could find good subjects to go with those topics.

I’d be very keen to join in again next month
