October 2013 Photo Scavenger Hunt

Another month has passed...and I didn't get everything just the way I planned...but I had a lot of fun trying!

#1 - Something Yellow

#2 - Polka Dots

#3 Patriotic
This is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Freeman Park.

#4 - A Seat
I noticed this "seat" early this summer and thought I should take a picture of it...this scavenger hunt item gave me the boost I needed to crawl over the fence and make my way to a good vantage point.

#5 - Chips

#6 - Water
...with Canada Goose Butts...

#7 - Bird
This is not the best bird shot ever...but the fact it is a Red Tail Hawk eating a snake made me decide to use it...

#8 - A Mess
You can always count on a pair of Osprey for a messy nest...

#9 - A Group of Something
Here is a group of Cousins...we're only missing one!

#10 - A Bridge
This Pegram Truss Railroad Bridge near Ririe is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

#11 - Sports
It's HOCKEY TIME!!!

#12 - Onions
Definitely not what I had in mind but I never made it to the Farmers Market...

#13 - Weather
This wasn't supposed to happen but it made this weather shot possible...

#14 - Rust
Here's a Rusty Head Gate Thing (I don't know what this is called)

#15 - Halloween
This is the Halloween decoration in my office.

A couple of things from this week...

FIRE!

And...A Unicorn!!!

Bwahahahahaha!

September 2013 Photo Scavenger Hunt

Seven months later...I'm back!!
My sister and I are starting a monthly photo scavenger hunt - which I'm having a lot of fun with. I've had some GREAT ideas...not that I've been able to follow through with many of them, but it's a start. Really fun to be packing my camera around with me again.
So here goes...

#1 - Abandoned Building
I'm not sure if this was a school or a church but I think it is sad that it's now part of a barnyard...

#2 - Stained Glass Window

#3 - Goldfish
Who knew there was a pond of Goldfish in the Idaho Falls Public Library...

#4 - Yarn

#5 - Playground Equipment
It's really hard to find "old school" playground equipment...

#6 - Library

#7 - Tombstone more than 100 years old
I found this in the old Japanese section of Rose Hill Cemetery. There were a few that looked older but they didn't have any writing that I could read.

#8 - Religious Symbol
The Madonna.

#9 - Statue
Weird I know...but he does guard a driveway near my house.

#10 - Something that makes you happy (not a person or a pet)
A good book and a Diet Coke from Sonic...almost heaven!

#11 - A Door

#12 - Reflection
Not really what I had in mind, but a reflection all the same.

#13 - Something out of place
I don't even know what to say...

#14 - Harvest
Again, not what I had in mind, but you can't be too picky if you wait too long!

#15 - Something you find interesting
Okay, so I find LOTS of things interesting. I had a hard time narrowing it down so forgive me for presenting you with three...

15 (a) - who puts a satellite dish that big on top of their house?????

15 (b) I have so many questions...Will his antler grow that way every year? Does he always have a headache from seeing that out of the corner of his eye all the time?? Do the other elk make fun of him??? Maybe it's a good thing he's captive...

#15 (c) How could this possibly happen????

01.12.13
Went out shooting with Rae today. Her first time using her new camera. Very exciting!
I was able to introduce her to a new bird - the Cedar Waxwing.
