How about:
"Non-Aspen Fall Colors".....self-explanatory
"Pure Luck".....outstanding photos that you got only by being lucky. (Are you big enough to admit it? )
"PreVisualized"....photos you have worked at for a long time before you finally got it right. (Whether you had to visit an area over and over, or you have tried multiple techniques in Photoshop to get what you wanted....etc.)
"Inspired by...".......photos you specifically created as the result of being inspired by another photographer. Describe who inspired you and why you created your specific photo.
"Picture Postcard"......photos that would make a great post card.
"OOF"....photos that are out of focus--on purpose!!
"Rain"....photos that showcase the rain or rain-induced effects
"Entropy".....photos that tastefully demonstrate chaos, disorder, complex subjects
"Anti-Icons": places very few people have ever heard of, places from which you've never seen another decent photo.
"Near Miss": shots that almost work, you really wish they worked, but there's one fatal flaw.
"Feral": domestic animals gone wild or getting in touch with their roots.
"Working in the Landscape": people earning a living in nature.
I'll keep thinking. I like Phillip's ideas, especially the beer.

OK, so I didn't have a beer. Doesn't matter, my friend Jim Beam is helping me come up with a few more......
"Hoodoos"......Once you lose your cap rock, you can kiss your hoodoo goodbye!
"In Ruins".......Historic or Prehistoric ruins of dwellings, ceremonial areas, etc...
"Rock Art".......Mysterious messages left by the ancients.
"Storms".......Bruised and sullen storm clouds, lightning, tornadoes, etc..
"Shadows"...........self explanatory
"Fleeting Moments"........Using a FAST shutter speed to capture those fleeting moments.
"Close to the Edge".........The edge of a river, a canyon, the edge of night, U2's The Edge, etc...
"Fire".......Actual fire or images that resemble fire ( a firey sunset, etc.)
"Paradise"...........Your version of paradise.
"Light Rays".........through the clouds, the trees, anywhere, really.
"High Noon"..........Who says you can't get good shots in the middle of the day? Let's see 'em!
"Movement"..............photos that show or imply movement.
"Closer to the Heart"...........Heart shapes found in nature.
"The Lord of the Rings"............photos that remind you of places in the epic trilogy (mountains, forests, volcanoes, grasslands, meadows, orcs, etc.)
"Star Trails".........uh.....star trails?
"Light Painting"......just in time for this month's article!
"River Reflections"........reflections on the surface of a river.
Ok, need a refill..........
