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.
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.
4. A group of tourists
What a great day this was with the family.
5. A rack of post cards
Wall Drug: Wall, SD
6. An urban street scene
Minneapolis, MN
7. A rural landscape
Various MN locations
8. A tattoo on a person
9. A bakery I’m going with Alternative B: A bird house
Another crummy cell phone picture
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)
Gracie photobombing while I was trying to capture photos of giant bubbles
11. A horn
I honestly could have had a whole collage of horns but I left it to this one photo.
12. A mascot
All taken during the 4th of July parade.
13. A sunrise
This one was hard to get over summer since I didn’t have to get up quite so early.
14. A parade
Self explanatory.
15. A juggler
A little pre-parade entertainment.
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.
17. A lamp post
I had never noticed all the unique lampposts around until this scavenger hunt.
18. A water fall
I really could have made 2 collages of waterfalls. I saw a lot of falling water. :)
19. A public garden
Minnesota Landscape Arboretum
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.
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.
I love your “mooning” gnome – brilliant!
Love those gnomes! Great set of photos.
Yay a real juggler/ Thanks for visiting my hunt photos BJ.
Nice comfy digs you have set up to watch the parade!
Gracie is funny and who wouldn’t want to see those BIG bubbles LOL.
Extra well done on #15 & #16 and your gnome collection with the mooning gnome is too funny!
Great finds for the hunt Halle!
