Scavenger Hunt Sunday {7•29•12}

Paint

Earlier this week I let my boys have a "paint party". I covered the floor with an old sheet and they each got a large sheet of butcher paper to paint however they wanted (thank heaven for washable paint!). For some reason I was drawn to this portion of Eli's drawing.

Green

While scoping out a photo location I spotted these leafy bushes. I loved the shape, and after several photos I got one that I really love.

Eyelashes

All three of my kids have long, gorgeous eyelashes so I wasn't really sure whose picture I would end up using for this prompt. But this picture was the winner! Love the look of my baby girl's wet eyelashes while she was taking a bath.

Shapes

You are probably asking yourself, "what does this picture have to do with shapes?". To be honest, I really don't know! I took this picture on the last day of swimming lessons with my iPhone and instantly fell in love. It portrays my son Eli's enthusiastic, go-all-out character perfectly. I took pictures of my daughter's shape-sorter toy, but can't bring myself to post them instead of this picture. Let's make it work, shall we? If you look closely there are a lot of shapes in the picture! Oval goggles, rectangular windows, scull and crossbones, trapezoidal sun shades, round clock, blue mushroom, square bricks...

Clouds

We have not had a lot of rain this week, but there have been plenty of clouds rolling through. I took lots of cloud pics with my iPhone, but this is the one that I loved the most!

  15. You put together an amazing set, as always. I love the paint! But they are all fantastic.

    I used my Canon EF-S 55-250mm for my moon shot. It is a used lens I got at my local camera shop. They told me it was for 35 mm camera and not an SLR, but it was all I could afford. It gets the job done and cost under hundred bucks.

  23. Yes the lashes wins because of the subject matter. Still wondering how you managed that shot with the none stop going of young toddlers. Paint is striking but the cloud with the Iphone is great. Thanks
