As for John van den Hengels comments:
We live in a wonderful rural area and nature photography is on our doorstep - asking to be taken!
Not only that - but we have some VERY GOOD and TALENTED nature photographers!
I think what John was trying to say is to broaden our horizons and try to get a mix of images - such as the swim meet - or other activities - or cultural events
- or abstract like this accident - not to forget people pictures - architexture - etc.
For more ideas - go to the general pbase site and see what other photographers are doing all over the world.
This also could be an interesting subject for discussion @ one of your club meetings - if the executive feels so inclined.
