Scavenger Hunt Sunday (8)

Another Sunday Scavenger Hunt. Not sure how I feel about this week's photos, but here they are anyways.

Architecture:

Sorry, this one is from the archives from our trip to Prague a few months ago. I just didn't get any good architecture photos this week.

Rimmed with Light:

Not sure if this is exactly what rimmed with light is. But I don't have any pets and this was at sunset. The light was rimming the edges of the spider web and the side of the clothespin. I have more "rimmed with light" photos I discovered in my archives and from this week I may share later on in a separate post.

Toes or Feet:

Well this wasn't my favorite but I don't think feet are pretty, except for baby feet. I could NOT get the shot I had in my head to work out and then I ran out of time so this is what you get.

First flip flops of the season on my feet!

This is my Favorite:

 This is my favorite coffee cup. It's hand painted and I bought it when we were living in England. It's so cheerful and bright and I love the way the lip curls just a tad at the top and the way the handle fits just perfectly. First time attempting to capture steam by the way.

Shades:

This photo was an accident. Ariana was playing outside and took her sunglasses off. Without thinking I snapped this photo.

I'm linking these SHS photos up with Ashley here:

Scavenger Hunt Sunday (7)

It's been a few weeks since I took part in a hunt but I needed a break. Some prompts just don't find the inspiration they need to get a good photo. I never want to stress myself out over something that's fun so I took a few weeks off. I'm back and I think I've got some good ones for you! I can't wait to see yours either!

This week's prompts are....

1. Reflections

Looking through a glass marble. I love how you can see the clouds in the sky! Trees, grass, and the rock it's on. Very fun playing around with this!

2. Guess What This Is?

Do you think you can guess it right?? I'll tell you what it is at the end of this post!! Hmmm :)

3. What's Inside

What's inside? I'll tell you what's inside. POLLEN! It's inside the flower, inside my nose, inside my house! Bleh. One thing about Spring in Germany, no AC=no filter for the air! Just open your windows and let some pollen in!

4. Playtime

Richard watching Ariana as she plays on the playground.

5. Lawn and Garden

I think my husband is right, the dandylions must duck when the lawnmower comes! Our lawn is covered in them!

Oh and my Guess What This Is photo.....melting vanilla/chocolate swirl ice cream!

Did you guess right??

Scavenger Hunt Sunday (6)

I think I'm starting to really get the hang of this hunt each week and I'm finding  the photos are coming easier and earlier in the week! Here are my lovely finds for this week:

Hi Key

(I had never used Hi Key before on my camera. I really love the soft dreamy feel it gave these flowers)

Bedroom

(I went all abstract and creative on this one. You know how it is in the mornings, everything is all blurry and you don't wanna get out of bed yet.)

Something Tiny

(First thought, glitter. It's fun and pretty and I found out it makes very nice bokeh to boot. I had so much fun playing around to get this shot!)

Off In The Distance

(I went for a walk on the outskirts of our village here in Germany. I think I'm falling in love with the beauty of Germany. This scene was just magical. The cute German houses clustered together in the valley, the sprawling hillsides, the magnificent horse and off in the distance against a dusky sky you can see windmills spinning in the breeze.)

Stripes

(Well hello Mr. Bumblebee! Your so cute and fuzzy and striped. Can I be your paparazzi?!)

This week I feel like I rocked it!! I'm pretty pleased with how all my images came out!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday (5)

It's Sunday!

That means it's time for another Scavenger Hunt!

Decay (old or abandoned):

(I'm not sure if this is really abandoned but covered in vines and with the old door, I thought it would work for this prompt. I kept looking for an old barn but couldn't find any that looked abandoned.)

Groups of 3:

(Using the last three eggs for breakfast for me and Ariana.)

Kitchen:

You may have seen my banana hammock in the background of my "calm" photo on a previous hunt. I thought it would be apporpirate for kitchen this week. I love seeing my bananas relaxing over there waiting to be made into smoothies (recipe soon!!)

Things that make you say "hmmm....":

(How do flies get into my house with the windows closed?? They are so gross and annoying. Grrr....)

Me time:

 (This one is pretty obvious. The best way for me to feel recharged is to do a spa day at home. Paint my nails, give myself a pedicure, mint mask as above and a glass of wine usually cover it. Maybe catch up on some Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. Thanks to my husband for helping me take this picture.)

Scavenger Hunt Sunday (4)

Oh, this Scavenger Hunt is so darn addicting!!

1. Vanishing Point

(I wish the powerlines on this were clearer, but that's what I get for snapping it from the passenger seat while we were flying down the autobahn)

2. Square Crop

(I love this homemade Thai Chicken Soup. I couldn't make my camera crop a square so I cropped it once I got it on the computer.)

3. Under

(The underside of some flowers.)

4. Welcome To The Jungle

(Animal crackers. This was the best "jungle themed" anything I could come up with for this prompt)

5. Calm

 

(Yoga is calming)

To find out more about me, the person behind the lens, feel free to hop on over to this post and ask me a question!! It'll be fun to see what you can come up with!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday (3)

My interpretations for this weeks Scavenger Hunt, hosted by Ramblings and Photos. Let's just jump right into it, shall we!?

1.diptych

 (I've never done one of these and didn't even know what it was so it was a fun little challenge. When I made some strawberry lemonade I thought I would give it a try. Fun and amazing how many pictures of the lemons I took! Not a fan of how the backgrounds turned out. I could NOT for the life of me get them to be the same color. Oh well.)

2. Book

 (One of my March Goals was to read more books and I've barely been able to put this one down!)

 3.When I think about how _sun is shining warmly  in the _pretty blue sky_ I just have to _capture this rare moment __.

 (It's been a sunny, beautiful week and I can definitely tell how much the weather affects my mood!)

 4.Taste of Italy

 (Basil)

 5. Reminders

 (Virtual sticky notes on our background to our computer. Blurred for effect.)

Scavenger Hunt Sunday (2)

I had so much fun doing this last week I decided to do it again.

 Here are my interpretations for this week's Scavenger Hunt:

1. Capture the Sky:

(This is technically from last week (I think), but only because it's been completely overcast every single day this week. I liked the sliver of moon and the pink streak from an airplane just before dusk.)

2. Everyday:

(fresh ground coffee in my French Press, yum!)

3. Furry:

 (testing out my reverse ring on a furry plant outside)

4. Life:

(Ariana is so full of life!)

5. Blurred:

(Playing around with the settings, while my husband was cooking dinner. Kept the shutter open super long. I liked this one because you can see his feet moving across the kitchen and he's barely there, like a ghost!)

My First Scavenger Hunt Sunday

In the past few weeks I've seen the creative photos that come from the Scavenger Hunt Sunday project over on Ramblings and Photos. This week I decided I would try to join in the hunt. I had fun hunting down each photo :) Next week I'll try to be more creative. It will be a great way to experiment with my camera and different styles of photography. Also it's great to see what other photographers come up with and be inspired by their work!

Enough with my babbling...here are my interpretations for this week's challenge.

1. Chocolate

Mini box of Valentine chocolate.

2. Numbers

 A quick shot at the post office. I was scared someone was going to tell me I couldn't take photos in there.

 3. Canned food

 Grocery shopping. Not the most creative picture. I thought about it after the trip that I should have bought tomato soup and done and Andy Warhol inspired photo.

 4. Music

 Me playing my wooden flute. My mom will probably love this picture!

 5. Stack

 Our patio chairs stacked up, waiting for some nice weather so we can have a bbq.

Have a lovey Sunday! I'll be back soon with my P64 photo for the week!
