The rules are easy.
I post a list.
Participants ride their bike to a location that fulfills an item on the list.
Take a picture of your motorcycle and your interpretation of the requested item.
Post the picture online.
At the end of the month, I observe and pass judgement.
Simple, right?
Well... yeah, it’s easy to finish. To win? Not so much.
Just because you have all the items does not mean you will win.
A creative picture will weigh more heavily in the judging than a simple snapshot.
Unless otherwise noted, all photos will be worth one point.
There will be extra points available for combinations.
There will be extra points available for completing and posting on specific dates.
April is the traditional beginning of spring for most of the northern hemisphere.
April is the 4th month and has 30 days. The birthstone is diamond and birth flower is the daisy.
The derivation of April is from the latin “aperire”, meaning ‘to open’. Photographers will notice a similarity to “apertura”.
aperture
early 15c., from L. apertura "an opening," from apertus, pp. of aperire "to open" (see overt).
April has many official and unofficial holidays and observances. Easter, April Fool’s Day, opening day of Major League Baseball to name a few.
Enough nonsense.

1- April Fool. This is a picture of you and your bike. One extra point will be awarded if posted on the 1st.

10-Earth Day.(this one is for the hippies) One extra point if posted on the 22nd.
5 extra point for getting all 10 items.
21 possible points available. Use your imagination and good luck.
