Scavenger Hunt Sunday {7•8•12}

This week really got away from me! I meant to post a few times, but never made it. At least I got my scavenger hunt done.

Patriotic


Every year for the Fourth of July we get up early and to go the Balloon Fest, which is part of Provo City's Freedom Festival. This year I made sure to get a picture of the American flag balloon because I knew it would be perfect for this prompt.

You also get a fireworks picture because our Independence Day always includes watching the city's fireworks display.

View from Above


Both of these pictures may be a bit of a stretch, but oh well! The first picture is the sun rising on our way to the Balloon Fest. I think this picture is heavenly, so you could say it is a view from above.

In the second picture, the hot air balloons definitely get a view from above! I would love to take a ride in one so I could experience floating in the sky and take in the view!

Mosaic

Some of my favorite hot air balloons were the ones that looked like they were made up from lots of different swatches of fabrics- kind of like a mosaic.

Something Tiny

See! I did take pictures of something besides hot air balloons. We have these tiny mushrooms that appear randomly in our back yard. I was lucky to find a few, since I waited until after Honey Daddy mowed the lawn to take this picture.

Vibrant


You have to agree that hot air balloons are definitely vibrant! Some of the balloons come back each year, but there are always some fun new ones to see. I love all the colors and think the hot air balloons are beautiful!

If you aren't sick of them, I will probably post more pictures from the Balloon fest later this week so come check them out.
