Finishing the Scavenge Hunt

I've thoroughly enjoyed Rinda's Summer Scavenge Hunt again this year. I've found everything except for the 2 substitute items. Some were easier than others and some are much better photos than others. We have until September 21st but I'm going to declare myself done and finished as Back to School madness is taking over my life now, as it does every September.

1. Open air market

2. Theater for performing arts (not a movie theater)

3. City Hall, Capitol or other similar civic building

4. Airplane

A sad flattened paper aeroplane

5. A sunset

6. Someone or something taking a nap

7. A sign that is intentionally or unintentionally funny

8. A tower



9. A photo with someone or something that is clearly out of place or doesn't belong

P on the beach - definitely out of his comfort zone.

10. A bench that is outside

11. An animal in a zoo, aquarium, nature preserve, etc.

12. A cloud in the shape of something (please specify what you see)

12. A cloud in the shape of something. I'm struggling to see shapes in clouds but this dusky sky loked exactly like the sea on the horizon. Believe me - we cannot see the sea from there.

13. A fence

 

14. A stained glass object or a mosaic

15. A fire truck or police car

16. A windmill

17. Candle(s)

18. Your local pub/bar, coffee house or tea shop

19. A fisherman

He hangs on our landing in France

20. A dinosaur

21. A photograph of you with an artistic tool or craft supply

Scissors, adhesive and tea - essential craft tools

 

Thanks Rinda! How about a Winter Hunt as well?

Summer Scavenge Hunt Update.

I've picked off a few more this week, though I'm less than happy with the quality of them. Now I've just got 3 left to find, plus the bonus/substitute items.

8. A tower

12. A cloud in the shape of something. I'm struggling to see shapes in clouds but this dusky sky loked exactly like the sea on the horizon. Believe me - we cannot see the sea from there.

Why is a windmill like a bus?

You wait for ages to 'scavenge' a photo and then 4 come along at once!

In one day: a traditional (miniature) windmill at Le Village Enchante.

An even more miniature one in a garden in our village.

A modern windfarm near Ger.

These are all unedited. My favourite is the traditional windmill which is in such a pretty setting, but I have a secret liking for the modern windfarm as well

Scavenging by phone.

I've been making an effort to use my phone more recently and managed to capture some more items for Rinda's Summer Scavenge Hunt over the weekend.

15. A police car

 

Don't worry! My children have not been arrested - the police were at Party in the Park and allowed them to turn on the siren.
 

4. An aeroplane. M spotted this one for me ont he way to school - a rather sad and flattened paper aeroplane

 

14. Stained glass in our church

11 down, 10 to go. How are you doing?
By the way, my Instagram name is kangus13. I'd love you to let me know yours so I can follow you. I'm not a total IG-addict yet, but I'm enjoying this new way of snapping and sharing stories.
