    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…

    #3 Bird on a wirebird on a wire#7 A rural landscaperural landscape 3 rural landscape 2rural landscape 1#8 A tattoo on a persontattoo #17 a lamppostlamppost#18 a waterfallwaterfall 2 waterfall 1My list so far stands as:

    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

    Are you playing along? Would you like to? It’s not too late…just pop over to Rinda’s blog and check out the details
