Scavenger Hunt Sunday

time for SHS again with Ashley over at Ramblings & Photos. wow! these last 2 days have been full of laughter, friendship and HOURS of hunt photographing for this weeks prompts. i had such a hard time choosing which photos to use out of over 600 shot. but that means i have tons of photos for future blog posts. yeah for me!
well i am exhausted so let's get this post finished, up early in the morning for church.

1)Smile
i love to photograph farm animals. there's a story that goes with these, but only W and i probably find it humorous. LOL
this lil guy was having a BLAST rolling in the mud, i almost wanted to jump the fence and join him. didn't see his SMILE full of teeth until i uploaded my photos.


do you see his SMILE?
SOOC


2)Stand Alone
i struggled with this a bit. just hoped i had a photo out of my 2 day lot that would fit.
this caught my eye. one word can so powerfully stand alone all on it's own.


also liked this single berry.


3)Rusty or Something OLD
that was easy for me. LOVE all things rusty, old, chipped and peeling!
SOOC



4)Artificial
this was an artificial apple tree. shot at a different angle. loved the lighting in the background.
SOOC


5)Repeating Pattern
actually had tons of photos i could have used here as i love to capture texture and pattern when i shoot.
BUT..loved that i got the simplicity of my son's fingertips on this antique piano that was for sale at the Central Market. also loved that i caught foreground blur. my older son came home from school Friday telling me about foreground blur his commercial art teacher was instructing him about.


don't forget to click on over to SHS and give these amazing photographers some comment love.

wishing all a blessed week ahead!

  3. Awesome pictures as always! Love, Love, love the smiling horse...would not have caught the smile had you not shared it with us as I did not get as close as you did! :) So honored to spend the last two days shooting with you. Can't wait to do it again! (But I'm driving both days next time!)
