Scavenger Hunt Sunday {8.19.12}

Forest

Is this tree part of a forest? You will probably never know because I'm not telling. What I will tell you is that if you look closely (or click to enlarge) you can see that the bokeh in this picture is heart-shaped. I was having fun playing with my bokeh disks this afternoon.

Morning Light

One morning this week I went outside to take a picture of the sun as it peeked over the mountains. Then on my way home I spotted this sunflower reaching for the morning light. Turns out that this is the picture that I liked best, and I figure it works since it was taken in the morning light.


Touch

On my way home from my morning walk, I also spotted a very large patch of thistles. I started taking pictures when a bee graciously landed so I could take his picture. I do not recommend that you touch the thistles OR the bee. Ouch!

Newspaper

We don't really read the newspaper around here very often, but I do get the grocery ads. When you have kids, sometimes the newspaper gets recycled for other purposes. Here is Jonah, sporting a newspaper hat.

Coffee or Tea

No thanks! I don't drink coffee or tea. I actually don't drink alcohol either! So instead you get my drink of choice; diet coke with lime.
