The only thing I would say is if you are going to have a WATER category
and a BLUE maybe they shouldn't be back to back months
So you had to pick OLDNESS for my birthday month????
song lines is nice - but I'll probably do it in reverse (find a photo I
took that reminds me of a song line)
For PUGery I suggest all us long-timers use a photo he/she used in a
previous PUG - a personal favorite and/or especially an early one.
Otherwise.. neat list - sorry I didn't poke my nose in sooner.. I be busy

Thanks to all who commented on the possible themes.
Stan's suggestion (below) is well thought out and, in the interests of
maximizing participation, I've used those ideas as a guide (although
I've used one out of of Stan's 3rd Category because a couple of people
specifically mentioned it).
So (drum roll) here's the tentative list for 2012. Correspondence on
the themes is still open if there's anything that you don't like....
January - Minimalist
February - Railway
March - Shadows
April - 15 Years of PUGgery (a general Open Gallery to celebrate the
PUG's 15th Anniversary)
May - Solitude
June - Songlines (pick a song title, take a picture)
July - Close Up/Macro
August - Water
September - Blue
October - Doors
November - Prime Time (non-zoom photography)
December - Oldness

I hadn't really thought about this before, but it seems that your
suggestions (and possibly themes from ages past as well) fall into three
distinct categories. There are those that highlight a particular subject
(e.g., Body Parts, Trees, Railway), those that highlight a style or theme
(e.g., Minimalist, Macro, Chaos, Solitude), and those that highlight
technical aspects of the image capture (e.g., Prime Time, Long Exposure,
Black& White, and macro arguably also belongs here). With many fine
candidates on your list below, I would suggest that you avoid those that
emphasize the technical stuff, my third category, and rather go with
subjects or themes. Just because it might provide a wider opportunity for
participation. Not everyone has prime lenses or macro set-ups, but
everyone can find doors or windows or water to shoot.
