Oh my what a week. Sickly kids, field trips, racing teens and drug switch-outs…on top of my headaches. I had in my head all of the Scavenger Hunt prompts, or so I thought. Found out tonight that I’d mis-read one. I luckily had something that mostly worked with the prompt, and for another I have to go into my archives (because I didn’t want to try to top pictures I already had & love).
1. Low Key

2. The Color Wheel – Monochromatic and Analogous Color
This is the one I had written down wrong. I actually created a full color wheel of fruit. But, I had this that was along the lines for what was actually asked for 😉

3. Circle (Selfie)

Tell: The first thing I thought of when I saw the circle prompt for a selfie was a compact mirror shot. Well, I had no compact, but I did have this. In the end I ended up thrilled with the shots.
4. Scarf
These two are from my archives. Last winter I did a snow shoot w/ my red scarf. I didn’t even want to try to do better right now, I still favor these images too much.

Just like last week I’m doing multiple pictures for each Scavenger Hunt item. I struggled to get them all this week and ideas I had for them fell through. I was a little distracted by other endeavors…in the end, I was happy with my results, though.
1. Flying High
Joy is not in things, it is in us. ~Richard Wagner

The American flag is the most recognized symbol of freedom and democracy in the world. ~Virginia Foxx

Be like that bird that, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings. ~Victor Hugo

2. Process of Elimination
For this we had to do what it took to make the picture framed right. Due to location I had to use the cropping technique. The second image is exactly what I had in mind for it.

3. Statues
This statue is in a local park. It is in honor of the children lost to us too young. She is called the Angel of Hope. (There is one more picture in the final group of images today, of the inscription carved into the marble stand)

The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower. ~William Cowper

I saw the love of God in the firemen and policemen who gave their lives that others might live on September 11th. ~Paul Keenan

This week I managed to get all the Scavenger Hunt Items, so I’m starting to roll that Sunday feature in with my usual weekly winners! Scavenger Hunt gives you five items. I doubled up on a few of them – and have another outside picture or two.
