Scavenger Hunt~ 10/21

This weeks items:  Orange or Pink, Faceless Portrait, View From the Top, Cozy, Stacked

No time for new photos this week, I had to go to the archives.  BUT, these are all pictures that I edited just today, specifically for the hunt.  I’m sure that counts for something, right?!

 

Pink

 

 

Faceless Portrait

 

 

 

View From the Top

This was the view from the top of the log slide sand dune on our September vacation.

 

 

Cozy

In the cooler months the favored cozy spot for Mack is the southern facing sliding glass doors. Nothing is better than your favorite rug and warm sun streaming through the windows.

 

 

Stacked

These sunny flowers were stacked one on top of the other in my dad’s field.

Hanging Around

When she’s not in the pool, you’ll find this girl hanging out around the blueberry bushes.  And if you ask her about it she’ll give you an ear full!

 

 

Funny Face

The toughest part about this prompt was choosing from the myriad of goofy face pictures I have of my boys.  Try as I might to get a decent picture of my boys I always have at least one clown in the bunch.

 

 

 

Space

This photo was from my most recent photo shoot with the “K” family.  I love to take family photos out in the fields around my house.  I love the open space and all the interesting country structures that are at my disposal!

A Few Winter Raindrops

It’s picture time again!  I was thrilled to be able to get out a couple times this week and capture some beautiful, nature shots. However, my fingers, nose, toes protested just a bit to the cold.  The beauty I was able to capture took my breath away.  When I’m out taking pictures, I feel so close to God.  His glorious majesty is all around me and it is during those moments my heart and soul worship Him.

This weeks Scavenger Hunt Items:  Sunset, Black & White, A Day in My Life, Four, Colorful

 

Sunset

This particular evening I was in the middle of dinner preparation and just happened to glance out the window. I ran to my room grabbed my camera, threw on my crocs and a heavy flannel shirt and flew out the door.  I raced across the frozen ground twisting my ankle only once and almost losing my shoes a few times.  I half walked/jogged a funny pace with my toes curled to keep my shoes on, trying to beat the retreating sun.  I finally got past the tree line and to the field where I could capture some of the fleeting beauty.

 

Black & White

The other morning my son rushed in from doing my chores to tell me to grab my camera, because there were some raindrops I would probably want to capture. Oh Boy, was he right! He came along with me to be my guide. I loved having him with me pointing out all the great photo opportunities.  He has such a good eye for spotting things that for most people would just blend in.

A Day in My Life

Tea blankets spread all around the living room ready for an impromptu tea party. (Plus I wanted to get a picture of her wearing the hat I had made her for Christmas.) A VERY daily event at our house!

 

Four

I promise I didn’t eat all of those….just a couple!

 

 

Colorful

This clump of rose hips was one of my son’s finds. He spotted them hiding out in a clump of vines and trees. PERFECT, is what I think!
