Scavenger Hunt Sunday #11

Macro
I found this little dandelion fluff in my neighbor's yard. It is getting below freezing here at night, so there aren't many left. I am glad I found this one because it makes a nice macro!

Found Texture


 I found an old vacant home not far from our house that had the greatest colors and textures! I used the doors of the garage and the house for pictures of my kids in their applique ghost shirts. I will probably be returning to this location for pictures again because I LOVE it!


Home
I grew up in the mountains of Wyoming and Idaho. I am currently blessed to call the mountains of Utah my home (specifically Mount Timpanogos). No matter where I go, the mountains will always be "home" to me.

Cover
The leaves are finally dropping from the trees, so I went on a walk and took a picture of this lawn covered with maple leaves.

The Tree

I was so excited when I saw this prompt because I have TONS of tree pictures! Every day for the past month and a half I have been taking a picture of the same tree as we drive home from Kindergarten. I wanted to be able to show the kids how the tree has changed over time. So the first picture is the tree in September, and the second picture is the tree just yesterday.

    You have an awesome collection this week. That macro is magnificent, but then I look at your texture and think WOW! And I love your interpretation of "cover". Great job.

    LOVE your texture shot - the peeling paint, the color, the hardware!
    I was going to do the lawn covered leaves and your shot was what I wanted but mine didn't work. Yours is perfect!

    Love your tree idea. I was thinking doing something similar, but I don't have a great tree close-by where I could take a picture every day, or even every few days.. the changes are so amazing!

    Such a gorgeous set..I've always wanted to do a tree series with one tree in the 4 seasons...but we don't have 4 seasons! I like the comparisons you have. Your found Texture is very eye catching & i love the color. really beautiful scenic photography.

    peeling paint + the color appear to be a fabulous place to revisit for picture taking! I see a bit of snow on the mountains behind your tree! ohhh! wonder what it would be like to live in such beautiful country!!
