Scavenger Hunt: 6/12

So I am starting off this week’s challenge with a dud.  I had the hardest time with long exposure.  The name for it should have just been “Really blurry image”.  Then I would have nailed it.  But once again I had a ton of fun finding things to take pictures of for each of the prompts.

Long Exposure

Yeah, it’s crap.  But what do you expect when you give a 4 year old a sparkler?  Especially when it is his first time.

 

Shapes

baby toy

This might be kind of a copout photo, but this toy has so many shapes in it and I loved the way the shadow created even more when I went to photograph it.

 

Green

nest

Can you spot the bird’s nest in this mass of green?  I was on my “me and my camera” time walk and was snapping away and almost didn’t even see such a wonderful little treasure tucked away.

 

Fruit

pineapple

Cole begged me for a pineapple.  My kids love fruits and vegetables.  I bought it and sure enough their aren’t really eating it.  Oh well, at least I got to take some shots of it before I cut it up.

 

Childhood Memory

music box gears

This is the mechanism for the music box I have had since I was about 4 years old.  It still works.  I thought the inside was much more of an interesting picture than the outside.

 

Join in the fun over at Ramblings and Photos for Scavenger Hunt Sunday.

  7. I love the pineapple shot! If your kids won't eat it fresh, you could cut it up in chunks and make a sweet-and-sour (chicken or pork) dish with it, with green and red peppers. :)

  17. I love the green (of course!) and it makes me wonder what type of bird made that nest. Those are some pretty serious sticks and twigs. No whimpy bird made that one. I also love the vintage look of your music box. Very cool. You mentioning your walk with your camera time makes me think of my day yesterday. I was at an outdoor 'thing' with different outdoor sessions and one of the sessions was outdoor photography. They let us go for an hour w our cameras and just shoot pictures. FUN! (another session was shooting guns - that was fun too!) :)
