Photo Scavenger Hunt – May 09

Before I get going, first, here’s where this scavenger hunt came from and you can go there to find the other participants. (And if you want to vote, here’s the link for that!)

And now for the list of things we were supposed to find:

1) a souvenir
 
  Rock candy from…oh…YOU GUESSED IT!  Wow…you’re good! (LOL)

2) a fish

  Chimes…FISH chimes.  (at my uncle’s house in NY)

3) a religious building
 
  A Divinity School.  Although it looked more like a medieval castle than a seminary!

4) a fire department
 
  The Firehouse Inn.  It is an OLD fire station converted to a bed and breakfast.  And
  it has much more architectural interest than the modern fire stations. 

5) a manhole cover

  I was about to give up…there are just not many TRUE manholes around these here
  parts, much less one that would have any kind of photographic interest…but then I
  found it.  And I only felt slightly weird about pulling my car off the road and walking
  down the street with my camera and taking a picture of a manhole cover and then 
  walking back to my car.

6) a postcard

  Grandma’s collection of postcards and souvenirs.  I guess I could have used this
  for the first object, too!  LOL. 

7) water

  A little (big) river going off of Lake Ontario.  And a duck on the bank as a
  bonus…*GRIN*

8) a communication device  

  My new phone…Samsung Alias 2 (it rocks!)

9) a Life event

  My cousin’s birthday…14 years.  Wow.

10) a foreign stamp

  This is what happens when you google foreign stamps…LOL!  (Thanks for the idea,
  Nicole!)

11) a tree

  A giant tree…down the road from my house…in front of a graveyard (but you figured that
  out already, right?)

12) the living space of a non-human

  Bird’s nest in the corner.  I’d get a closer shot, but it’s only about 2 stories off the
  ground.

13) a street mirror 
 
  Another oddity around here…street mirrors are hard to find.  UNLESS you’re at
  Dollywood…and then you will have plenty of choices.  My favorite was the one on the
  corner of the flying elephant ride…I like to call it “reflections of the flying elephants.”

14) a decoration fixed on a house

  I’m not really sure why, but around here, flags are about the only decoration you can
  find that are attached to people’s houses.  This one is on my neighbor’s house. 

15) a foreign flag

  These are really OLD foreign flags.  Remember this post where I talked about
  grandma’s ancient dictionary?  I don’t know if you can see it in the small picture 
  here (you might have to click on it to make it bigger), but check out Germany’s
  flag (4 down and 4 over)!!!

16) a fire

  Actually several of them…LOL.  This was the centerpiece on the gift table at the wedding 
  I photographed today.

17) an antenna
 
  These gi-ant-ennas are on top of the radio station where I used to work.

18) a phone booth

  Somewhere between NY and Pennsylvania…I’m not sure where we were when we stopped
  for gas coming home…

19) a “verboten” sign

  Who, ME?  Never!

20) a beach
 
  Lake Ontario in NY…not the sandy sunny beaches of NC, but still a beach.  And there
  were so many dead fish washed up on this beach…it was quite disgusting!

21) a cityscape

  This is about as close to a “CITY” scape as one can get when you live around these 
  parts…I’d call it more of a townscape.

22) something goofy

  Well, these are my lunch buds…and I’d say any of us would qualify for goofy.  *GRIN* 
  And Martha is a twin, and she said if I posted this, to tell ya’ll that this was MARY and
  Susan.  I’ll have to send her the link to this to let her know that I passed her message
  on…LOL.  If you guys don’t hear from me again, she might have killed me for posting
  this…haha!  Seriously though, going to lunch with these girls is always loads of laughs.

23) something carved

Well this isn’t wooden, which is what originally came to mind when I was looking for something carved, but it was getting down to the last minute and I’d have to say it fits…

These are both carved…fruit.  And they were delish!

 

24) an eye

  A very tired eye

25) something rural
 
  Some barns…Somewhere in TN

And that’s it…I’m going to post tonight in case I don’t get a chance tomorrow.  Thanks for dropping by…
