I would also like to, but I am down for the "Pet" 30 day challenge, that is about to start, and also the "Macro" 30 day challenge, that I am also hopefully in which should start soon.

What I love to see is a

"Ducky" Challenge, and a

"Woody" Challenge, along side each other.....

I wasnt aware of the micro challenge, or I wouldnt have posted...

When I run this one it will be on blog again, like we did for the first 30 day SP challenge and teh first 30 day Pet challenge.

OK decision made.... 30 day Ducky and/or woody challenge startign NOVEMBER first....

This gives peopel a chance to stop at the dollar store and pick up a ducky ... or to purchase a woody... or both... in case you havent got one yet

Ducky's are available at dollar stores, toy stores and party stores as they seem to be childrens party theme also.

I'm so sure I would have a blast with this one, but seriously after WPL and 30-day SPs and regular challenges I'm a little exhausted. I'm actually looking forward to putting my camera down for a few days at a time. I may pop in and out or something though, I love the idea of getting more creative with my ducks & woody. Well, that sounded weird.

Just you all wait and see my Ducky..... He is so cute, and has pride of place in my bathroom, and occasionally, I even let him have a swim.....

Probably gonna hurt feelings here or be called a spoil sport.

Only problem with this one, the Pet and the Self-Portrait Challenges is that the recent comments page gets flooded with every single person in the challenge, saying something about someone else's pictures in the same challenge, every day.
I don't know how others do this, but I use the recent comments page a lot, to bring my eyes to images from all corners of the site that would otherwise slip on by.
In one way, this site has been screaming for more comments, more comments, but when the recent comments page is 75% self-portraits or Pets or Woodys, then it becomes a task to weed through them all.

No clue what to suggest either. ugh
Am I the only one thinking like this? (I probably should just keep my mouth shut and ignore it)

Nope - I think it's a great thing - keeps folks involved and creative.
Guess the the SP one burnt me out from wanting to even click on the recents page.

Why don't we have a real challenge, and keep asking the powers of "B" the administrators to do this one, as so many people seems to want it.

on blog - my eyes completely missed one key word!
Makes all the difference in the world.

I figured I was walking on eggshells saying what I did, but somehow know that I am not alone in my feelings, yet nobody wants to say anything for fear of looking like a spoil sport.
