Take January for one example.
It is usually a bitter cold, snowy, icy, blizzardy month.
Now although Kensington Palace is a super picture, other than a bare tree, it looks like a summer's day to me.
Likewise the lovely September picture. I don't know if that is a Rape field, or a Buttercup field, but either way I think it would be more appropriate around May time, not early autumn.
Many others are the same, or is it just me viewing them wrong?
June and August are well placed though, with the bee on the flower and the lavender fields.
The best seasonal one to me though, is the December one. You can't help but know that is a festive, winter month from that photo. Very good.
I hope no one minds me saying, because they are very nice pics, but it is just how I see it.
I'd best go before I am slaughtered.
At the start of the thread I said that I was not quite sure how a calender could be put together on the forums. What I have posted is really a 'proof of concept' that it can be done. I hate to leave a job undone. That was my first priority.
As far as I could I took contributors' suggestions as to month and also where possible the photo's Exif information as to when the photo was taken but really seasonal and temporal exactitude was not a priority.
After all the name of the month is under the photo! A lot depends on where you are in the world.
In fact I considered the opposite. If you are looking at a photo for a month- why not have a photo of sunshine and blue skies in a dreary grey month?
So the Calender forum works- perhaps next time it could be refined with more contributors.

Wasnt sure how to do it but it worked ok. Perhaps refine it net time.

Do I have to convert the Word file to JPG?

Re: Calendar
We don't use a calendar, we've gone digital, mine's in the clouds.
But I'm thinking, if I was to put my own together, I might do tabletop pics, like ...
December: a Christmas cracker on top of a napkin.
April: a chocolate egg.
July: a bottle & glass of Pimms with OOF tennis court BG.

Thank you for explaining Toners.
I hope you didn't mind me saying.
