Each summer Rinda sets a
Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt which people all over the world take part in.
I decided I would take part and my first post was
here.
And then I lost interest. So much on and I thought I needed to give up something and the Scavenger Hunt went by the wayside. However we went away for 3 days this week and I thought I would take photos and if any of them fitted the hunt then great. I hadn't got the list with me but as soon as I saw some birds on a wire the list started coming back to me. And I did look it up on the internet at the end of day 2. Here are more photos for the list.
3 Birds on a wire
4 A group of tourists
And here they are closer up.
5 A rack of postcards. I had this one already but this is a better version.
And a close up.
6 An urban street scene. This is Ilminster in Somerset.
8 A tattoo on a person. I didn't think I would be able to find a photo for this category so took this photo instead.
However when we got home from our few days away the guy at the checkout in Sainsbury's had this so I was really cheeky and asked if I could take a photo.
9 A bakery
10 A photo bomb (someone found lurking in the background of photo; the lurker may have intended to disrupt the picture or may be doing it unintentionally, but the background lurker is a surprise to the photographer). I try desperately hard not to have people in my photos but the lady on the left walked into my photo as I was taking it. I knew she had done it but knew I could crop her out of the photo.
However, this woman was a total surprise to me - only realising she was there when I downloaded my photos.
17 A lamp post
18 A water fall. In my mind waterfalls are large affairs with cascades of water but this is the only falling water I've seen - apart from the rain!
19 A public garden. I could have gone to the local park but decided a garden that is open to the paying public would meet the brief.
21 A photograph of you with something representing the season. This is me with some end of Summer/beginning of Autumn flowers. And of course needing to wear a waterproof jacket.
Since it's extremely unlikely that I will get up early enough to take a photo of a sunrise (#13) I have substituted Alternative A: A kite, hot air balloon or blimp. This is a kite in the shape of a hot air balloon.
I might see a juggler (#15) before the hunt ends on September 23rd but in case I don't I have substituted this for a bird house. I took this photo of a bird house:
But then realised this was a much better bird house - the dovecote at Lytes Cary in Somerset.
The only ones I need now are #1 a sign welcoming people to your home town, #2 a garden gnome, #11 a horn, #12 a mascot and #14 a parade.
I just might manage it.
Thanks for stopping by.
