Scavenger Hunt Sunday: 2nd Edition

I did it again! I managed to participate in this scavenger hunt twice in a row. With two busy boys and a cute baby girl it is quite a challenge, but I am having a great time looking for new things to photograph.

Old and New
This is my 5 month old daughter wearing a necklace that belonged to my grandmother. Isn't she precious?

Night Photography

I wanted to take a picture of the mountains with a starry sky, but it has been cloudy in the evenings here all week! So instead you get a picture of the mountains and some clouds. In the foreground is the cemetery that is not too far from our house.

Music
I have a confession. I am recently addicted to eBay. Did you know you can buy beads and jewelry from China and Hong Kong for next to nothing? Sure you have to wait 20 days for it to get here, but who cares when you can buy it for $0.99? This is one of my recent finds. It is a pendant shaped like a treble clef, and I LOVE it!

Cheesy
It has been so HOT this week that I haven't been in the mood to cook anything. Just the other night we had omelets, for which I grated this lovely cheese.

Sun

Would you believe the daylight ran away from me on this one? I kept meaning to take a picture of the sunset, but never quite managed it. So not far from our house are some enormous sunflowers. So here is my sun just after sunset.
