#1, #5, #8 & I'm Done!!

Here's my final installment for Rinda's Photo Scavenger Hunt. With these last three items, I have found all 21 items on this year's list!

It's funny to me that the last item I photographed was actually the first one on the list: #1 - A Pier. I was on the lookout this week, and as I was sitting in the doctor's office for a routine checkup, I looked up and found my pier right there in the examining room!

I captured this photograph for #5 - A Train earlier in the summer on a road trip to Tioga. We were just getting out of the car to head into Clark's Outpost for some great BBQ when I heard a train whistle and grabbed my camera for a quick shot as this train sped past across the street.

I've had a photo for #8 - A Statue of An Angel since our trip to New Mexico in July, but I had dismissed it at the time hoping to find a more "angelic" example. However, this is probably a more accurate angel as it depicts a Biblical scene entitled Expulsion from the Garden of Eden.


I did it - I found all 21 items!!! I have truly enjoyed how this scavenger hunt list has made me more aware of my surroundings and caused me to take photographs I would not normally capture. Thanks Rinda for hosting this fun summertime event - I'm already looking forward to next year!

  3. Good for you in finishing the hunt. Don't know when I've had so much fun. Since hubby did help me, I asked him if he wanted to join up next year. I just got that look so I guess the answer is no.
