Yet another crazy week w/ sick kids everywhere. Still, I had little fun with a couple of the Scavenger Hunt Prompts.
1. Landscape
Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree. ~Emily Bronte

Happiness is a Swedish sunset; it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it. ~Mark Twain

2. Complementary/Triadic Color

I really struggled with this one. Didn’t help that I was trapped inside for most of the day & the one clear cut option I did see when I was out…well, I would have had to stop in a not-so-lovely part of town. Down to the wire I saw these berries & leaves…and while they push the prompt a little on the “almost” side…it’s close enough for me.
3. Black & White

My sneakers. They aren’t purely B&W so I edited it to B&W. I love the lines of them, and had to use them for a shot this week.

This is the umbrella I bought for my hubs so he didn’t have to deal w/ my “Dunkin’ Donuts” umbrella. I saw it on our wall surrounded by tons of color, peeled away the color and snapped this stark B&W pic.
4. Food
My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it’s on your plate. ~Thornton Wilder

Ice cream is exquisite. What a pity it isn’t illegal. ~Voltaire

5. Blank Space
A word is a bud attempting to become a twig. How can one not dream while writing? It is the pen which dreams. The blank page gives the right to dream. ~Gaston Bachelard

A Simple Thing:
My simple thing for this week is this photo. Brandon and I went on the annual photo walk at our local nature park. While we were nearing the end, I saw this small seedling tree in the crevice of a larger tree, and the moss on it just added something else. The picture came out just how I’d hoped, and it’s SOOC. It’s a simple thing, so small…but so lovely.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday is run by the beautiful Ashley. Head on over to see more Hunters.
I love those landscapes! So beautiful! The shot of the shoes is my favorite photo; great black and white!
@Cedar,
Thanks Cedar! The shoe shot is one of my favs this week too. I don’t know what it is about it, LOL. Glad you enjoy it too!
what wonderful shots!
@kamana,
Thank you, Kamana. Even stuck on one of the photos, I ended up liking this weeks prompts!
What a gorgeous sunset! It must have been amazing to see in person. 😀
@Karen of 3G2S,
Thanks Karen! It really was amazing to see! The way the trees kept being the stark contrast to the beautiful sky…we were driving home and I finally had to pull over on the side of the road and capture it. Believe it or not, as much as I love that photo and find it stunning – it’s still nothing compared to the original.
Your landscapes capture the colors of fall I remember in Tennessee. Beautiful!
@Tara R.,
Thanks, Tara 🙂 It’s real tough to find enough color this year to get a full on fall-colors shot. It’s been such a dry year. But, there are bursts of color here and there that make it all worth it 🙂 Fall is my favorite time of year because of these colors 😀
Love your take one FOOD. Now, that is my kinda food ;D
@Brooke G,
LOL. Thanks, Brooke!! It’s my kind of food too! Our DQ usually closes around this time of year, so we were savoring one of our lasts trips when I remembered the food prompt. It just had to be done 😀
I can totally believe that Sarah!
That seedling shot is such a treasure. You have such a good eye and overflow of talent!
The second to last shot is my fav for the week 🙂
I love your shots! That umbrella is great as is the color wheel shot. I have to say I also love the first ice cream quote and picture.
What a beautiful set – I love them all. I especially like your food shot.
I love the quotes!
adore that last shot. beautiful. thanks for linking up with the simple things. 🙂 Rebecca
That second shot is my favorite of the set, but I love the treatment of the shoes!
I just love the shot of your sneaker!
