Photo Scavenger Hunt #2

Thank you Kristi for hosting this fun Photo Scavenger Hunt!

I’ve always thought this castle in downtown Point was pretty cool architecture. Just too bad it is now broken up into apartments. cool architecture
Last year my son and I quickly planted some tulips when they were done blooming and didn’t think much about it. I am excited to say that impulse gardening must work because they are coming up! spring

Jelly Bellies in a glass puffer fish we bought at the Milwaukee museum last time we were there.  Have you ever tried to photograph an empty clear puffer fish? sweet

I found this doorway, on an old abandoned school, very interesting. cool doorway
A reflection of me in my son’s eye. me
I love this cemetery with its grottoes on the edges. cemetery
I am not a shoe person but I could not resist these Vera Wang sandals. Also my first set of heels in at least 10 years. I love them! shoes
In the summer this beach will be hopping but for today it’s just me and the birds. water
My favorite drink in the whole wide world! Diet Coke! drink
With the plethora of murals around downtown Stevens Point you might be surprised to know that I drove several miles away to shot the water tower in a nearby town. mural
Drip, drip, drip, little April showers . . . rain
When I was a kid my parents had a couple of Model Ts that we drove in parades. Many of my dad’s hours were spent in the garage as he rebuilt this 1918 Runabout. These were our Christmas cards that year. old car
Just try to tell me that stained glass isn’t a work of art. ;) art
A statue in a grotto at a nearby cemetery. statue
I think it’s pretty cool that this old church is now a place were stained glass is created. church
This sky made us pull over to enjoy it’s momentary presence. The glow around the clouds was very short-lived. cool sky
I was in motion when I took this photo of my son and husband, also in motion. lc1521

You should’ve used the reflection of you in your son’s eye for the self portrait! I know you could find another reflection — you probably have dozens of them just lying around everywhere. I’m glad you included it in there somewhere though. Very cool shot!

Marvelous choices all of them!

You like LOADS of ice in your drink! – me, no ice please!
That mum- I have never seen a blue mum like that!

Whoops! Meant to say, but forgot……your diet coke appears to have an eyeball in it. Diet Coke is addictive! I can go forever without, but then drink one and have to have another, and another, and another. My hubby drinks Diet Coke as if it is water.

Seriously love your blog and how it’s set up. Different and cute. And you take a mean photo, too. What do you shoot with? I love your shots for reflection and drink very much. You took something so simple (your son’s eye and your glass of diet coke with ice) and made them into rather extraordinary photos. That’s talent! Also, the in motion photos you took is really cool.
