It's the last day of September and time for the final link-up to the Summer Photography Scavenger Hunt. Many thanks to Mary-Lou for hosting this fun event again! When I posted in August, I had just three items on the list to find: #15 A broken chair/bench/stool #16 An out of season treat being enjoyed and #20 A favorite seasonal scent. I did come up with all three, and I also have a few extras to share. You can find my previous posts here and here.
The broken stool should have been one of the easiest to photograph since it was leaning against the side of our house. I walk by it repeatedly, but it almost never catches my eye.
I had an idea for an out of season treat being enjoyed, but ended up taking a photo of the hot chili I ordered on our way up to Mt. Rainier this month. It was raining and cold. I think of chili as a winter meal, but it was much appreciated on this mid-September day.
As I stepped off the porch at the Presbyterian Home at Chautauqua Institute in August, I was taken by the beautiful scent of this lily. I have lilies in my yard, but nothing that smells as wonderful as this did. It's beautiful as well.
As we were traveling, I came upon several more hand-written signs (#14) which I thought I'd share:
Both of these were outside shops in Bend, Oregon
These were at my nephew's wedding. I got a photo of them before they were moved to the appropriate places.
It depends on your point of view whether this is a funny bumper sticker or not, but I couldn't resist taking a photograph of it. I know the owner of the card. It's a magnetic bumper sticker so it can easily be removed if need be.
And last, a delightful series of menus outside a restaurant in Ashland, Oregon in rainbow colors (#13)
Needless to say, being away for three weeks means being busier than usual with meetings and appointments to say nothing of a bit of jet lag. I hadn't even uploaded my photos from the trip until tonight. There were 773 of them after deleting some from my phone. There will be many more deleted once I get to editing them. I frequently take duplicates in case one isn't quite right, so that alone will eliminate quite a few. However, you can expect a few photo-heavy posts coming soon. I designated several places as photo walks for my 2019 intention. I'll never get to 52 (my goal was one a week) but I do have more than one a week from the trip.
