Scavenger Hunt Sunday (16)

This Scavenger Hunt Sunday the prompts were sent in by me! How fun to be part of this project! I'm excited to check out everyones interpretations for these!

1. Beneath Your Feet:

I decided to go with this broken glass littering a nature trail from a few days ago. You can see my reflection in it! (When I'm out exploring nature, nothing makes me angrier than finding trash some inconsiderate people left behind.)

2. Capturing Movement:

Trying to capture Ariana while swinging and leaving the background blurred. This was hard. She moved a lot! I did get the chain in focus and the background blurred, so it was a minor accomplishment.

3. Texture:

Some colorful textured rocks found while exploring  castle ruins.

4. Face Your Fears:

One word. Spiders!

5. Currently:

Currently, chasing butterflies! My most recent butterfly photo is of this Large Tortoiseshell Butterfly.

Favorite House

I.am.in.love.

Earlier this week I posted this photo post about textures around the villages near my home. I promised photos of my favorite house. I'm here to deliver.

This is my favorite house locally here in Germany. It's located in the small village of Schonenberg-Kubelberg a few minutes drive from my house. I pass this lovely old house everyday that I take Ariana to preschool. Most people probably don't even notice this old beauty. 

 Can you believe the top 2 photos are the lovely texture on the side of this house. Love love love it!!

 Sorry I don't have a better bigger picture of the full house. It's really old on a corner and all I had that day was my 50mm lens. I'm planning on taking photos another day soon of some interesting buildings around, and maybe I'll try to get a better full shot of the house.

Anyways, I'm in love with this old house and wanted to share.

Textured Buildings

Today, I'm focusing on textures. I've been noticing a lot of little things lately.

(I love everything going on in this picture)

I took these photos from my village of Steinbach and also the village of Schonenberg Kubelberg here in Germany. I love all the textures these villages have. I saved my doors and windows shots for another day and also I have some pretty awesome shots of my favorite house there. I added a little sneak peek in this post. It's the second photo from the bottom with the red and green, but I'm saving the best for later this week.

All of these were taken with my Nikon D7000 and Nikkor 50mm/f1/8D lens.
