Scavenger Hunt Sunday Photo Challenge -September 18, 2011

Scavenger Hunt time again.

Here is what I came up with this week.

This is a literal 'street photograph', taken from 'behind' the camera,

on a 'Sunny Day' 'from a distance.' Groan.

Here's the rest.

1. Street Photograph

I took this picture when we were driving down

the highway. No, I wasn't the one driving.

2. From a Distance

We were able to see this waterfall this

week, from a distance.

3. Sunday

This is absolutely a sun-filled day.

4. Liquid

Two of my sons on the deck of a warship we were

able to tour this week. See the habour behind them,

that's a lot of liquid.

5. Behind

Our family went for a walk. I was walking along behind

them as they were playing a rousing game of tag.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday Photo Challenge -September 11, 2011

Sunday Scavenger Hunt Time

1. Bokeh

The focus is on the pencil crayons in my daughter's hand,

blurring the others on the table in the background.

2. Process of Elimination

The shot is of the tree with the tire swing.

I eliminated the small tree beside it.

Because the colour in the original was not very pleasing,

I eliminated the colour and went with black and white.

I think after the eliminations, the tree with the swing

is showcased better.

3. Remember

It is said that you should tie a string around your

finger to remember something. But, I would

never remember why the string is on my finger.

4. Statues

My son became a part of this statue.

5. Flying High

Not flying, but this bird is "Sitting High".He is way up at the top of this dead tree.He must have been flying high to get up there, right?
