2014 Summer Scavenger Hunt wrap up

Last updated : April 11, 2016

It’s time! Time to wrap up the 2014 Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt

1. A sign welcoming people to your home town (or a nearby town)

This is a sign from a nearby town I took one morning…hey, this one could even work for #13 a sunrise. Kind of a crummy photo but what do you expect for a really old cell phone through a windshield.

2. A garden gnome

I didn’t need to go far for the gnomes since my neighbor collects them.

3. Birds on a wire

I wish I’d gotten a picture of a large power line that was just solid black with birds but I was driving…so you’ll have to be satisfied with these.

10. A photo bomb (someone found lurking in the background of photo; the lurker may have intended to disrupt the picture or may be doing it unintentionally, but the background lurker is a surprise to the photographer)

11. A horn

I honestly could have had a whole collage of horns but I left it to this one photo.horn
12. A mascot

All taken during the 4th of July parade.mascot collage
13. A sunrise

This one was hard to get over summer since I didn’t have to get up quite so early. sunrise
14. A parade

15. A juggler

A little pre-parade entertainment.juggler
16. A sign in a language other than English

I took a liberty with this one. If I’m not mistaken those are Latin names for the flowers.FLcollage
17. A lamp post

I had never noticed all the unique lampposts around until this scavenger hunt. lamppost lamppost3 lamppost 2
18. A water fall

I really could have made 2 collages of waterfalls. I saw a lot of falling water. :)waterfall collage
19. A public garden

20. A bus (not a car, truck, lorry, camper or RV) with a picture painted on its sides.

I thought this one would be difficult but I saw lots of painted buses, however, I only had my camera ready for 3.buscollage
21. A photograph of you with something representing the season (recognizing that the season will be Winter for our friends in the southern hemisphere).

This first photo I can be seen in the rearview mirror photographing the bison that tried to ram the van…seriously. It was almost a “State Farm moment”.

I can be found under the yellow canopy waiting for the parade to start.

Whew!! I did it! I’m a little bummed that I didn’t get a bakery. I saw one over summer but again was not prepared with a camera. I considered taking a photo at our local grocery store of the baked goods section but decided that was cheating.

I’m looking forward to playing along with this challenge again…. Thanks to Rinda @gallorganico  for this fun summer challenge.
