I must be a glutton for punishment – I’m doing Kristi’s Photo Scavenger Hunt once again. Are you ready to be overloaded on photos? Okay-dokey, here we go:
1. A view from above (looking down)
I love rollercoasters! But, have you ever tried to photograph your ride? Let’s just say I had to ride a few times to get a decent shot.
2. A macro shot
A trinket I forgot about for a few years, but finally sent off to my mom.
3. Laughter
A child’s laughter is precious!
4. Relaxation
The best place to relax is on daddy’s shoulder.
5. A celebration
I bet you know what kind of celebration we were at.
6. A sunset
Last Thursday, Dennis and I went to a get together on a boat up in Green Bay. After our cruise, on our walk to the car, we paused so I could snap this pretty sky.
7. Sun/lens flare
The soldier moved at the same moment I clicked and the sun bounced back at me off one of his medals.
8. A bridge
Just one bridge?
9. A shadow
Me, waving at you!
10. A garden
Unfortunately, not my garden. But pretty nonetheless.
11. A Park
Some of you followed my facebook status last week when Dennis left me in the woods and I hoped he didn’t forget where. This is the park we were in, although we left the trail. Dennis did come back for me and helped me climb up the steep slope, he’s considerate like that. Then I took the easy path back out of the woods, while he went back down the slope to grab the car. Some guys saw us go into the woods together, and Dennis said they sure were watching him come out alone, and they kept looking back toward the woods. I bet they now have a story to tell. They never saw him pick me up on top, lol.
12. A street scene
Well, this is as close as I could get. At the annual Golf Spectacular, with over 200 golfers, it’s such a chaotic mess as everyone races to their tees. Here a few of them are, waiting to be released.
13. Signage
Had never seen one of these signs before. And, uh, I think spring is over.
14. A summer activity
We didn’t get our canoe out at all last summer, but I’m happy to say we’ve had it out twice so far this year.
15. A summer treat
YUMMY! Need I say more?
16. Earth
How about half? This is a satellite/clock, representing our geocaching craziness.
17. Air/wind
I think you can see how windy it was by how the flags were whipping about.
18. Fire
I waited for the last minute to get this shot. So here I was grabbing a mirror, candle and the camera (no tripod – I’m stubborn like that) at 8pm last night and shooting my last photo. Oh well, I kinda like it.
19. Water
Raindrops are falling on my head.
20. Something Vintage
A Grotto that we recently discovered.
21. Something made of glass
Sea glass (mermaid’s tears, beach glass, lucky tears) found on our travels. While it isn’t technically made into anything yet, it will be made into jewelry or used on cards. And it used to be bottles and other items.
22. Something made of wood
Anyone know what this instrument is?
23. Something that floats
I’m sure Mary hopes the kayak continues to float. I know she was pretty nervous about her first trip out.
24. Something railroad related
Kayla and I got left behind. Dennis crossed the bridge with her parents for some photos. Kayla and I waited, somewhat patiently.
25. Something Round
Can‘t think of what this is called – my brain is tired – so, huge dandelion puffball.
And now, it’s well after midnight and I think it’s time for sleep. See you all tomorrow. Did you have a favorite?
Regina said,
Hi. Wow this is really fantastic. Everything is in it.
Beautiful post.Thanks for sharing.
sharon said,
Beautiful photos…and I really appreciate the time it must have taken you to prepare this for us.
Thank you:)
Mama Zen said,
They are all fantastic, but I love the picture of the soldier!
Mojo said,
I agree with Mama Zen. They’re all spectacular as usual, but the lens flare off the brass is unique as well. Just awesome!
The candle on the mirror was pretty special too — but does it surprise anybody that I’d like a shot involving a candle? No, I didn’t think so. I like the sunset shot a lot as well. (In fact I got several similar shots myself just last night.) Oh, and who does macros better than you do? Nobody that’s who.
I didn’t play this time around… something had to give and unfortunately, this was it.
Jessica from Michigan said,
I’m feeling queasy just looking at the roller coaster. I wish they didn’t make me sick.
Tracey said,
Great job! I always have good intentions for this meme, but never get to it! I love the sunflare one. I am not sure what the instrument is called, but it mimics the sound of a croaking frog. We saw them at the fairy festival last year!
Jientje said,
They’re all favourites, you so deserve to win this! Okay okay, if you insist, I love the strawberries best! But that rollercoaster will probably have been the hardest one to get, right? Can’t see me do this a couple of times just to get a good one, LOL!!
The Laughing Idiot said,
The photo of the soldier gave me goose-bumps!
Great pics!
LisaNewton said,
What a great photo display. I love the summer activity the best. Oh, just floating along on a boat; that’s bliss.
nancyroo said,
beautiful photos! Hard to pick a favorite!
ter said,
great photos!
Dawn said,
What an awesome group of photos! I’m so torn between the lens flare, the summer treat & the glass–I can’t pick a favorite!
Diane C. said,
Fascinating scavenger hunt! My favorites are the sun flare on the soldier’s metal, the golf carts street scene and the colorful sea glass.
Jan said,
Woo hoo, what great answers to this fun challenge. Love all of them, Lisa
Nussaibah said,
Whoa! I can pick a favourite, I love all of them. Great shots!!
kaye said,
I did not have a favorite, you are so talented and it’s a treat to view any of your pictures. I did like the railroad, the strawberries and the (ha) sign. I think my favorite if I were to pick one–would be the golf cart race. How funny is that?
well done
Alisha said,
What a fabulous esries of photos! You really are such a talented person. I hate saying the same things all the time, but really, you are so gooood! Open up a gallery, that would be cool!
Dana Leigh said,
Great photos! I love the sunset and sun/lens flare the best.
Pamela said,
the sun on the medal is a wonderful shot
Michelle Johnson said,
What a delightful post/ meme. I might have to try this one out sometime. I love taking pictures with my camera that I officially own now. I love all your pictures but the soldier is my favorite. I think that bit of sun glint adds to the persona of the picture. Have a great day.
C said,
Ohhhhhhh! I LOVE ALL of your photos!!! I know I’ve told you this time and time again, but you are so very talented! Fantastic photos! Wish we lived closer so you could take pics of our Little One!! xo
Michelle said,
Awesome job on the photo hunt. I didn’t even look at the list until last week and as hard as I tried I just couldn’t pull it off!
Aimee said,
the sun/lens flare is my favorite, but i also love the strawberries and something that floats pictures. and i think you deserve an award for that roller coaster shot
shutterhappyjenn said,
You captured it all greatly. All the pictures are awesome.
I also joined the hunt and my results can be seen HERE. If you have the time, please visit as well. Thanks!
Samara Link said,
What a nice job you did! My favorites — signage (that was great!), something railroad, garden (precious — a framer), and sun flare (took my breath away!!).
Oz Girl said,
All great shots, but I really like the candle shot best! And laughing about your hiking story, that is too funny.
Se'Lah said,
I love them all…
you are so talented Lisa.
Martha said,
How awesome! I’ve always wanted to play along on these scavenger hunts but just have never found the time
I guess soon I’m going to have to finally give in and get a facebook so I can find out when you’re lost in the woods!
faith said,
WOW….incredible incredible work! I could totally not pick a favorite, although a few that I especially liked were: 1, 13, 14, 15, 18, 23, 24, and 25….see what I mean? But they were all great shots!
anne said,
Your soldier/flag photo is remarkable! Love all of them, great work!
Carlos Bohorquez Nassar said,
nice job on the soldier! great timing Lisa
Jama said,
You’ve done a fantastic job here Lisa, I just can’t decide which photo I love best since all of them are done beautifully!
Picture no .22, I have that wodden frog , bought in Thailand. It’s used to make different sound of frog. That’s all I know.
SandyCarlson said,
That was a wonderful treat.
That first shot made my stomach jump. An Imax moment for me. I admire your courage!
So much beauty to start my day, and I’m still in bed!
Ang said,
your lens flare is absolutely frame worthy, gallery worthy, unbelievable! sent chills through my body! I also loved your railroad related shot… aw heck, they’re all great!
Bengbeng said,
Such high standads in photography. I love no 6, 7 and 10 the most
Prospero said,
My favorites are 7) lens flare; 15) a summer treat; 16) earth. What a mammoth undertaking! You deserve a medal (for most fun on a blog).
Kath said,
Wow! You are so wonderful. All these shots are great, but the mirror and candle idea? Inspired!
LesleMora said,
Gorgeous photos!
T&T said,
all so gorgeous – but you wouldn’t catch me on a roller coaster – EVER!!!!! I am petrified of those things – and I totally pass out – getting vertigo!
Michelle said,
Great pics Lisa. As far as #22 goes I dont know what it is called…but we have one too!
Jenners said,
These are all so good! I love these! How brave of you to do the coaster …. with your camera!!
And I think the soldier one is super cool! What a lucky break! ; )
alexa said,
I really like your sun flare… turned out great! I also love your summer treat. Yummy!!
Kristi said,
AMAZING!! Your photos are fantastic! Several of these are my favorites, especially the sunflare and the summer treats!
Brandi said,
Lovely photos, all of them! My two favorites are the soldier and the dandelion puffball.
