Regularly Scheduled Scavenger Hunt - if you can stand one more


This is the scavenger hunt I have normally been doing - a repeat of the clues - but not a repeat of the interpretation.


TOOLS


Our grandson Jahn-Zyel, learning to sew on my Featherweight Sewing Machine


Hand sewing a button on the purse he was making as a gift

MOTION


Crow trying to scamper up the rock, instead of flying


The brown horse was charging toward the spotted horse - I think he didn't want to share the spotlight

SWEET



Home made cranberry/orange scones for tea


DOTS


Handles of silverware

STRIPES


The boards on the barn make  nice stripes



Several different stripes on this fence with Clematis



Scavenger Hunt  

June Scavenger Hunt



We have all month to  gather photos for this scavenger hunt - the end of the month is near - let's see how far I got.

PURPLE


Foxglove - one of my favorite wildflowers


60


At least 60 Allium in this field

LITTLE


Little Bee in a big flower

EYES


He was watching us for a long time before I discovered him, I was taking photos of other horses in the field and all he time he was standing under a tree watching me.


Flicker eye


Cat eyes - our  neighbor's cat likes to sit in their flower pots.

ANIMAL






ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL



I love windows on old buildings


And newly refurbished buildings


And old sheds

RING



Napkins rings - shall we have fish for dinner?

Flower Pot napkin ring - just the thing for summer luncheon

An altar made by cousins and a friend when we all went camping together in Central Oregon.

LIGHT


Sunlight - on a very foggy day - this is not a B&W photo - it was just very foggy and gray that day.


The tree captured the sun!




Sunset over Bellingham from the top of Alabama Hill



Fairy light in the woods - this is one of my all time favorite photos


Sunlight in the trees at Lake Paden

ROOFTOPS


Rooftops behind a Heron - in the Fairhaven area of Bellingham

ICE CREAM


Ben - eating a big ice cream cone at the fair 


Jahn-Zyel with an ice cream  bar at the fair (these were taken a few years ago - but I couldn't resist showing the two cute boys)


Ice cream cone sign in Birch Bay - and you think you can resist?  Just try.  

TOMBSTONE




I didn't get a picture of a tombstone - but thought I'd show you my pretty pansy painted metal flower pots

ART


Pressing pansies for decoupage - note cards, candles, napkin rings, birdhouses for centerpieces

Weekly Top Shot

Doo, Doo, Doo, Lookin' Out My Back Door

Well actually it is my front door - but this has been my view this week while I spent time recovering from a summer cold.



Scavenger Hunts - here and there



I found a new scavenger hunt - I love these things - they help me look at things differently and how see how different our interpretations can be.  


YELLOW


Sunrise in the winter, over Mt. Baker



Cottonwood leaves in Autumn

SOMETHING IN THE SKY


The moon with no magnification


And up close with my camera that zooms to 140X

A DRINK


Seagulls drinking from a pond in the parking lot at Birch Bay State Park


A PHONE THAT IS NOT A CELL PHONE


Our youngest daughter talking to Grandma.  She is now 43 - our daughter, not her Grandma

BIRD


Bald Eagle on a very windy day


Crow

TREE




Overlooking the California coast


White Birch Trees


Walnut orchard in full bloom

TECHNOLOGY
My constant companion

STRANGER'S HANDWRITING


Signatures on a vintage quilt that I bought for a quarter at a yard sale.


It is dated 1933




Sing in a drive-in in Wisconsin- Candied Bacon Sundea???

SOMETHING SYMBOLIZING SERVICE


I was stumped on this one - until I thought about the service we get in a restaurant.  

A SMILE





Ben took this photo of his Grampy


Donnie learning to say "cheese" for photos.  Could he be any cuter?
