2014 Summer Scavenger Hunt wrap up

It’s time! Time to wrap up the 2014 Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt. 

1. A sign welcoming people to your home town (or a nearby town)

This is a sign from a nearby town I took one morning…hey, this one could even work for #13 a sunrise. Kind of a crummy photo but what do you expect for a really old cell phone through a windshield.

2. A garden gnome

I didn’t need to go far for the gnomes since my neighbor collects them.

3. Birds on a wire

I wish I’d gotten a picture of a large power line that was just solid black with birds but I was driving…so you’ll have to be satisfied with these.

5. A rack of post cards

10. A photo bomb (someone found lurking in the background of photo; the lurker may have intended to disrupt the picture or may be doing it unintentionally, but the background lurker is a surprise to the photographer)

11. A horn

I honestly could have had a whole collage of horns but I left it to this one photo.horn
12. A mascot

13. A sunrise

This one was hard to get over summer since I didn’t have to get up quite so early. sunrise
14. A parade

15. A juggler

A little pre-parade entertainment.juggler
16. A sign in a language other than English

I took a liberty with this one. If I’m not mistaken those are Latin names for the flowers.FLcollage
17. A lamp post

I had never noticed all the unique lampposts around until this scavenger hunt. lamppost lamppost3 lamppost 2
18. A water fall

I really could have made 2 collages of waterfalls. I saw a lot of falling water. :)waterfall collage
19. A public garden

20. A bus (not a car, truck, lorry, camper or RV) with a picture painted on its sides.

I thought this one would be difficult but I saw lots of painted buses, however, I only had my camera ready for 3.buscollage
21. A photograph of you with something representing the season (recognizing that the season will be Winter for our friends in the southern hemisphere).

This first photo I can be seen in the rearview mirror photographing the bison that tried to ram the van…seriously. It was almost a “State Farm moment”.

I can be found under the yellow canopy waiting for the parade to start.

Whew!! I did it! I’m a little bummed that I didn’t get a bakery. I saw one over summer but again was not prepared with a camera. I considered taking a photo at our local grocery store of the baked goods section but decided that was cheating.

I’m looking forward to playing along with this challenge again…. Thanks to Rinda @gallorganico  for this fun summer challenge.

Photo Scavenger Hunt post #1

I had mentioned a little while ago that I’d be playing along with Rinda at Gallo Organico on her 2014 Summer Photo Scavenger Hunt.

I’ve been out and about with my camera this week…before the deluge of rain. Over 5 inches of rain in 7 hours. And it’s coming down again. JOY.

In a couple separate adventures, no more than 30 minutes from our home, I found several items on the list…

Summer challenge #1

I’ve been anxiously awaiting today since last August when I discovered the scavenger hunt that Rinda of Gallo Organico puts on each summer. 2014summerhuntI discovered it at the very end of summer and figured it would be more fun to play along from the beginning.

Here is the super awesome list that I can’t wait to get started on.

1. A sign welcoming people to your home town (or a nearby town)
2. A garden gnome
3. Birds on a wire
4. A group of tourists
5. A rack of post cards
6. An urban street scene
7. A rural landscape
8. A tattoo on a person
9. A bakery
10. A photo bomb (someone found lurking in the background of photo; the lurker may have intended to disrupt the picture or may be doing it unintentionally, but the background lurker is a surprise to the photographer)
11. A horn
12. A mascot
13. A sunrise
14. A parade
15. A juggler
16. A sign in a language other than English
17. A lamp post
18. A water fall
19. A public garden
20. A bus (not a car, truck, lorry, camper or RV) with a picture painted on its sides.
21. A photograph of you with something representing the season (recognizing that the season will be Winter for our friends in the southern hemisphere). Note: you may not use a substitute for this item.
If you find something on the list too difficult, you may substitute one of the following items for anything on the list, except for Item #21:
Alternative A: A kite, hot air balloon or blimp
Alternative B: A bird house

I’m not setting a schedule for my posts. When the mood strikes me,  I’ll post a few along with a brief description of how it photo fits the list item. In addition I’ll be posting the list each time with the items “found” with a strike through the item.

I intend to use all new photos…nothing from my collection. I can think of so many of these that I already have…but what fun would that be!?! None.  And also not in the spirit of this challenge.
