Scavenger Hunt Sunday {8.26.12}

School



This week was Jonah's first day of first grade. So I took the obligatory picture with a sign showing the grade and year. Isn't he a cutie? I a photo of my three kiddos feet before we left for school. I don't know why, but I love this picture!

Rule of Thirds

I spotted this flower while walking my first grader to school this week. I don't even know what it is, just that it grows on a tree and I thought it was pretty.

Side Profile

Lately this little hummingbird has been hanging around our back porch. He often lands on my clothesline and sits for a while. I caught this side profile of him through my kitchen window.

Small

I bought these itty bitty beads as a gift for my boys to play with while Mommy and Daddy are in San Francisco for our anniversary trip. They are called perler beads. You put them on a pegboard and then use an iron to melt them together. My boys LOVE them already.

Motion

Today my husband and I arrived in San Francisco. We decided to visit the Golden Gate bridge, and while there I caught a lot of sailboats in motion. I haven't really looked at all my pictures, I just randomly picked this one to use for this prompt. See the wake the sailboat is making? You can tell it's in motion, right?

I took tons of pictures at the Golden Gate bridge, and this evening we walked through Chinatown. I can already tell this trip is going to be awesome! This is my first time in San Francisco and I'll be here all week! So tell me, what else do you think I should make sure to see while I'm here?

  7. I believe your Rule of Thirds is a Mimosa tree....love those flowers (until it rains!). I love that photo of your kids's feet too!

  8. I do love that feet photo...but what I LOVE about it is seeing your little girl's necklace hanging down in it. Something about that just makes me smile. And that flower is DEF a mimosa. We had a huge mimosa tree in our backyard growing up.
