Scavenger Hunt Sunday ~~ 07/17/2011

Scavenger Hunt Sunday for July 17,  2011

Oh boy, this week was truly tough for me since I was laid up most of the week.  With the exception of going to work I  had to keep my leg up all week.  Then this last Friday, I went to the Orthopeadic MD and had some fluid extracted from my (very swelled up) knee and then got a shot of steriod.  Ugghhh... NOT FUN!!  So, in view of that situation, I didn't have a chance at all to take any photos until today.   I am glad to report my knee (leg) is much much better and I am looking forward this week to doing a Newborn Shoot.  I am super excited!!  I hope everyone has an amazing week.

Here are my interpretations for this week.....

Black and White

It was a pretty decent day today so we decided to take a trip down to the beach (New Smyrna instead of Daytona). As we walked through the boardwalk I notice this elderly lady sitting on the bench smoking her cigarette and just enjoying the breeze. I really wanted to take her picture but didn't get the nerve up to ask her permission. So, as I left I shot this one from behind (I guess it was a bit sneaky, but I didn't get her face so I guess its ok).

I just loved the idea of this lady sitting there with her purse hanging on her shoulder just spending time on that bench enjoying the cool breeze off the water on this very hot day.

Reflections in Glass
I had a bunch of shots for this prompt but after running them through my hubby (he is always such a help),
he picked this one. 

Headlights
This photo to me is just plain mysterious!! 

Seeing Double
We took a ride out to Spruce Creek Park and Campground today and discovered this beautiful pier.

Bare
It was an absolutely gorgeous, sunny, breezy day today and I was totally surprised that this section of the beach was this bare.  I was glad for the solitude and with the exception of a few bikers and beach walkers, my hubby and I walked along the water and discoverd jellyfish and encounterd lots of birds fishing for lunch.

Here are the prompts for next week.  Hope you can join the fun.

1. Music To My Ears
2. Hat
3. Clear
4. Out Of This World
5. Sprinkles

Scavenger Hunt Sunday ~~ July 10, 2011

Thank you all for all the wonderful and sweet comments on last weeks SHS!  I really loved getting the feedback.  Thank You!!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday this week was really fun since my husband and I took a road trip out to Houston, TX to visit my family (two brothers and their families).

We hadn't taken a "road trip" since last October when we also traveled to Houston for my baby brother's 40th Birthday. Everyone calls us crazy, but we truly love to hit the open road.   We are already planning on next Road Trip!!

Here are my interpretations for this week's prompts!!

~Things that look like a letter of the alphabet
~Weather
~ Bling
~Tangled
~Dark

Things that look like a letter of the alphabet.
How lucky am I that we traveled to Houston, Texas this last week and we drove over the Fred Hartman Suspension Bridge and that it looks like a perfect "M"!!   We drove over 980 miles to visit my family and got this shot!
Yes, I think I am a lucky girl.  LOL

Weather
On our drive out west we ran into some pretty heavy fog.

Bling
This is what I would call 4th of July Bling!!!  
Hope everyone had an amazing day celebrating this wonderful country's Independence Day.



Tangled
So I had a photo of a wonderfully tangled vine for this prompt.  I even showed my hubby and he agreed that it was perfect.  But then, I ran into this photo that I took of my great niece Sam and great nephew Jake.  I know they are not "tangled" but they are hugging and I just love this photo too much not to share.  How cute are they???




Dark
This is the entrance to the George Wallace Tunnel in Mobile,  Alabama.

Here are next weeks prompts!

~~~~ Lee Family

Our good friends Brian and Caroline are expecting their second child, a sweet baby girl. We went to the Historic Dunlawton Sugar Mill Botanical last weekend and I made some memories for them. They are incredibly in love with each other, with their son D and their unborn child, Louciana. I love this family so much and I am looking forward to meeting their precious daughter.

Here are a few of my very favorite shots. Make sure you click on the link to the slideshow.

IHF Photo Challenge ~~ A Touch of Whimsy

This week we have a Touch of Whimsy. This was sort of tough for me until I ran into this photo I took of my very dear (and very pregnant) friend Caroline. This photo just reminds me of Nature.....Mother Nature in a whimsical way. I can't wait to meet her baby girl but in the meantime I think she will be totally tickled pink (hehe) that I used her in my photo challenge for this week.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday ~~ 06/19/2011

Scavenger Hunt Sunday has definitely become a part of my weekly routine......and I love it! 
This (last) week my grandson turned 3 years old and we made another day run to Miami (its a four hour drive from Daytona) to see him blow out his candles!    Happy Birthday to my precious grandson Luke!

Anywho...here are my interpretations for this week.

Emotion
From a Flowers Point of View
Natural Frame
Letters
Bliss

Emotion
Don't know exactly what emotion I am portraying here.....Pensive? Mad?    ????

From a Flower's Point of View

Natural Frame
My poor husband is forever the good sport.   I found this natural frame right in our back yard and he humored me and posed!!

Letters
Even though they are just little notes, I refer to them as love letters from my honey.  See, he gets me flowers all the time and always attaches a note to them.  I have an entire shoe box full of these notes and I cherish every single one of them. 
He is a pretty cool guy!!

Bliss
This is the Birthday Boy in full birthday cake BLISS!!!  Oh the helmet??  Yes, he got a bike for his birthday along with the helmet (safety first), but now he won't take it off!!  How cute is he??

Here are next week's prompts for Scavenger Hunt Sunday
