The Summer Photography Scavenger Hunt is on. I was trying to remember how many years I've participated, and it took me awhile to figure it out. The first scavenger hunt was posted in June of 2011 and was organized by Rinda Ontiveros who no longer blogs. When she gave up the endeavor, Mary-Lou of Patio Postcards took it on. So that makes 11 years! You can find this summer's list right here. There's still plenty of time to play along if you'd like. Photos can be taken anytime from June 1 to September 30.
Like last year, I got off to a slow start, but Hannah provided me with two more photos yesterday. We're renting a cottage on Chautauqua Lake for a week. We've rented a boat for two days, and both grandkids were excited to go swimming and tubing. It was a beautiful day, but a bit windy.
So here are the eight photos I have. I may find better ones for some of the prompts, but it's a start.
#1 Path
#2 Peek-a-Boo This wasn't posed exactly. She poked her head around and said "Peek-a-Boo,"
and did it again so I could get the photo.
#7 Leaf Vein - I have no idea what kind of tree this is, but I admire the leaves every time I walk
down this street--which is frequently on my daily walk.
#11 Yellow and Blue Together
#12 Fuzzy Wuzzy Texture-this little guy was on the Brickyard Trail
#16 Oh So Colourful
#18 In the Distance - A respectful distance!
This skunk was headed in the other direction toward the sidewalk
as I was walking last week. I had no desire to get too close, but pulled out
my camera to take a photo. With that, he retreated into the bushes, and I only got the tail!
#20 You Grew It, Made It
Last year we moved all our peonies which hadn't produced many blooms
in the past 10 years. They love the new spot, and this year we had plenty of beautiful flowers.
Alt B: Sunset
I think I'm likely to find a better photo for this prompt, but this was the sunset the first night
we were here at the cottage, and I thought I'd better capture one when I saw it.
Many thanks to Mary-Lou for the wonderful (and occasionally, challenging) list for this year's hunt. It always turns out to be a family and friends project when we're traveling, which makes it even more fun.
