@Lorraine: Guess I should find out where everyone gets the theme announcements, eh? ;) Not much of a self-portrait!

Bookfool from Vicksburg, United States

I've been wondering where to find those theme announcements, too. Lorraine's funny.

@Bookfool: Did you see Nat's comment about a future theme on November 7th?

Eeeew! I've always thought kelp felt sooooo gross. Nice photo though. Great dof.

@willow: I think it's rather pretty, but I don't like stepping on it, especially with barefeet!

JJ from Jersey City, United States

Opposite from Willow I have always been intrigued and interested in kelp since I was younger when we went on beach walks and others were looking for shells I was always interesting in looking for kelp in different shapes and colors, so I really like this a lot brings back some nice memories :)

@JJ: This kelp looks quite a bit different from the "seaweed" we used to see on the beaches in San Diego when I was growing up. This photo was shot in Anacortes, Washington. I suspect there are countless varieties of kelp.

LOL at Lorraine! I couldn't remember where I had taken a photo that had a reflection of me in it, and didn't have time to do something creative so I just skipped yesterday. I really hate having my picture taken, I much prefer being behind the camera! :)
It would be nice if there was a central place that announced themes, so far I've just happened to see them mentioned on others photoblogs while browsing around. Check out Kylie Greenan for the theme coming up on Nov. 7th.

@bisha: Thanks for the heads-up about the November 7th theme. I actually spotted that one a while ago and wrote myself a note (and then proceeded to lose the note!).
