    Photo Scavenger Hunt check in

    Even though I got a very late start this year, I’ve been able to knock a few items off my list in pretty short order. Equipped with the list from Rinda @ Gallorganico, I sat down with Mini-me and came up with a plan, place or date for each item. Check out what I’ve captured so far…

    1. A “wild heart” – a naturally occurring heart

    These are on two of my giant hostas in the backyard. I never realized how many of the leaves end up heart shaped.

    6. A camper (caravan)

    I spied the moon last night and was able to capture a good shot in the low light even without a tripod!

    This one could be a three-fer on the list…buffet, family gathering and bikes. 🙂
