Melli dreamed up and planned out a Photo Scavenger Hunt. She told us about it a month ago…but somehow time got away from me and I have only been working on it the last few days. And this happens to be one of the busiest weeks in a long time for me with my monthly ladies’ booklet due plus five different medical appointments for three of us (nothing wrong — just catching up with check-ups, eye exams, etc.) . All of that to say…I didn’t find all the items on the list. 😳 I wish I had started earlier. I don’t know if you have to have them all to participate — but I don’t want to waste the photos I do have — so I’ll post what I’ve got and then get my 50 lashes… (Edited to add: I did find more than I thought I would…but that’s one reason this is being posted so late in the day. 🙂 )
1.) Something in flight
2.) A gas pump
Sorry, nothing for this one. I was trying to find a picture of a toy one the kids used to love to play with.
3.) Graffiti … or street art
4.) Soap or soapy
5.) An herb
6.) Something vinyl
7.) A bottle of perfume/cologne
Pretty uncreative here — Jim doesn’t care for perfumes or cologne and most of them give me a headache, so I just got a picture at a store. These caught my eye because I used to wear this in high school. I almost bought it just to see if it smelled like I remembered and wouldn’t bother me, but figured that would be a waste. I would have loved to have found one of those old-fashioned atomizer bottles.
8.) Snazzy Shoes
Another store photo — all of our shoes are pretty basic.
9.) A worm
Sorry, nothing for this either. The only ones I saw were dead and shriveled. I was going to go to the children’s or babies’ section on W-Mart to see if there were any toy ones, and I forgot.
10.) A city bus
11.) Something curly
12.) A key
13.) Something cold
14.) Sports Memorabilia
From our school. NOT from me — I am totally unathletic!
15.) A feather/feathers
16.) Something twisted
17.) A hole
18.) A leprechaun
Sorry. Where else was I going to find a leprechaun this time of year? 😀
19.) Something lacy
20.) Something nutty
21.) Sheet music
22.) A splash
23.) An apple/apples/apple something
24.) A shovel
26.) A triangle
27.) Something purple
29.) Noisy
30.) Something sad
Veteran salute at my father-in-law’s funeral. Sad, but poignant and honorable.
I did enjoy this challenge very much. Next time I will start earlier — I like thinking outside the box a little bit and taking time to find something interesting or unique. I was very pleased with a few of these. Some are new just today! Some are from years ago.
It may be later tonight or even the weekend before I am able to visit the other participants, but you can find links to them at Melli‘s.
