hello

Hello! And welcome to June! It's that time again when we welcome a brand new word for our monthly One Word Project. This month's word is being graciously sponsored by Hello Canvas so what better word than Hello?

Quite honestly, just the word alone makes us happy so we can only imagine how delightful this month's images are going to be. As always, we encourage all of you to join us over in our OWP Flickr pool where you can submit your visual interpretation of the word Hello. For more details visit our OWP about page.

And if all this isn't enough to make you smile, we are giddy to share that Hello Canvas is offering us 25% off of all of our orders for the entire month of June! Is it just us or is a photo canvas a perfect gift for Father's Day? If you're in the US you can order directly from their US headquarters and if you're in Europe, you can use their European site to order. And beyond that, they're going to give away canvases all month long right here! We'll be hosting a number of random drawings and we'll be holding FOUR themed mini-contests this month too. Hello! We told you this was going to be good!

Be sure to visit us every day this month (and on Fridays for our mini-contests) so you don't miss a single chance to win.

Before we begin, how about showing some sisterly love and appreciation to Hello Canvas by visiting their Facebook page and their twitter too. Be sure to tell them we sent you! They're quite lovely people over there, we can attest.

OK then, without further delay let's kick off June with a big sisterly Hello and share the shots that have Hello written all over them (literally or figuratively).

Thanks for introducing me to Hello Canvas. And thanks for your adorable lead photo. Beautiful way to kick off June.

What an exciting give away!

I took this last night and I think it is perfect for this month's word.

This is wonderful timing! I've just been thinking recently about getting some photos printed on canvas. :-)

Hello is a really fun word for the month too! I'm going to enjoy this one.

I love new growth and the different flowers that spring up in each season. The first photo in the following blog post gently says hello to me.

My son used to say hello to the world by waving his arms up and down with a loud hoot...
