Summer Scavenger Hunt

This is a fun one - we get a list of things to hunt for this summer and as we find them we post - and then at the end of summer we count up how many things we've discovered and photographed this summer.

So far, here are some of mine.
Let's start with an alternative - I might find all the others - but I couldn't resist this one - 
Alternative A: A kite, hot air balloon or blimp
Alternative B: A bird house

This photo fits two of the alternatives - hot air balloon and bird house - I thought that was fun  -  but I will still search for the other clues and might not need this photo.

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

Blaine, WA  One of our favorite small towns just north of Bellingham.  It sits right on the border with British Columbia.

2. A garden gnome

Two of them - since they are brothers and don't  like to be separated.  They are enjoying the last of the Primroses before the warmer days set in.

3. Birds on a wire

Leaving the wire

4. A group of tourists

Alaska State Ferry - leaving the dock at Bellingham
There they go!

Bye bye!

 7. A rural landscape

11. A horn

Waiting to announce the mail.

15. A juggler

Seagulls juggling for a position on the break-water

16. A sign in a language other than English

Written in quilter-ese. Really, I'll go and find a sign with English and another language - this one was fun though.

17. A lamp post

At the Marina in Bellingham - something on top of the lamp post

A very nice seagull.

18. A water fall

Coming down off the side of the road, and down into Lake Whatcom.

So  that is what I've found so far - if you'd like to see more about the summer scavenger hunt - click here - and you may want to join us.
