OK, based on some suggestions, here's the next three mandates.
Hopefully these three will be somewher more inclusive than the last
two, and issuing three will give us all a bit more time to find some
decent subject matter. In order of when they're due, here they a
===========================================
Letters N, T, or X: This one is self explanatory, I hope. Anything
that begins with the letters N, T, or X is fair game. And yes, you can
get the trifecta by shooting a pic of a Negroe Tapping on a Xylophone.
If you can find it. This mandate is due on April 21st, 2013.

===========================================
Furnitu At first, I was luke warm on this one, until I looked up
the dictionary definition of the word. Here it is:
1. the movable articles, as tables, chairs, desks or cabinets,
required for use or ornament in a house, office, or the like.
2. fittings, apparatus, or necessary accessories for something.
3. equipment for streets and other public areas, as lighting
standards, signs, benches, or litter bins.
I think this will provide enough lattitude for some creative freedom.
Anything goes that fits the defnintion, but the more unusual the
better. This mandate is due May 26th, 2013.

Barbeque/Outdoor Cooking: Show us your pig roast, or however it's done
in your neck of the woods. Burgers on the grill? Shrimp on the barbie?
Something none of us have ever seen? Shoot it and send it in! This
mandate is due June 30th, 2013.

Briefly, this is simply a monthly exercise where we all shoot pix to a
mandate, send them in to The Big Giant Head, and they are then posted
for viewing when the due date arrives. There are no prizes, save for
the prized comments of other shooters. This is strictly entertainment;
there are no prizes.
