    go buy a bunch of flower and you have some great subject matter. But if you want a really good challenge, here is one for you. Lock yourself in your bedroom, and take 40 photos, each one different of the room. The first few will be generic room shots, but then you have to start looking at detail/angles etc and by you get to the last 5 shots, you will find you have some really creative results.

    Sort through some of the 174,962 photographs on your hard drive you haven't post-processed yet.

    Or, do as Fez says - absolutely superb photography weather here.

    There's no such thing as "bad weather" - there's just bad gear... Get out an umbrella if you must and move outside! There are beautiful photo's waiting to be shot when it's raining...
    Ciao, Joost

    All feedback is highly appreciated!

    This is the best thought so far; Rick' is a very close second.

    I was looking for things to do the other day as I was stuck indoors so I got an Idea from Digital SLR Photography mag May 2009 issue.
    They had some cool shots of fruit in soda water so I gave it a go.
