Summer Scavenger Hunt: August Edition

  • by

As I expected, I found quite a few of the items from the 2016 Summer Scavenger Hunt while we were on vacation. Some of them are duplicates of items I found earlier, but I couldn’t resist adding them to the collection. All together I’ve found 20 of the 21 items, and both alternatives. I still need a photograph of twins (#17), but have two possibilities, and there are still a few weeks left before the official end of summer. 

So without further ado, here are this month’s photos:

A skeleton (#3) – found at the Whaling Museum on Nantucket. Notice the difference in size between the skeleton and the whaling boat beneath it!

A book read during 2016 (#4) – I’ve read 31 books so far this year, 12 since the start of the scavenger hunt. This was one of the most recent ones.

A porch (#5) – in ‘Sconset, Nantucket

A camper (#6) – I was hoping to find a cuter one than I found in July, and here it was on the Thruway coming home from vacation. I’d love to see the insides.

Bicycles (#10) – I never tire of photographing bicycles. The last one is the one I rented in Nantucket,
parked at the weather station near Altar Rock, the second highest point on Nantucket.

Fresh produce (#11) – at our favorite farm market

A buffet of food (#14) – We went to the most amazing buffet on Sunday when we were in Nantucket. In addition to the dessert table and salads,there was a raw bar, and a table of hot entrees (all covered so not a very exciting photo).

A family gathering (#7) – here we are at the buffet on a porch overlooking Nantucket Harbor

A team logo (#15) – I’m auditing a class this fall at the University of Rochester. When we were there last week trying to find out about parking, I got this shot of their team’s logo.

A map showing a trip taken during the time period (#16)

 A photograph of you with a newspaper from the time period covered in the hunt (#21) – My least favorite item on the hunt every year! I picked up a copy
of the local paper in Nantucket. It was first published in 1821.

  1. The dessert buffet looks very yum. Where would one start?! I do like new world decks/porches such as this, and you caravan find is very unusual. I too would like to poke around inside!

  2. What a lovely set of photos. Where do I start? Beautiful reds and oranges in the fresh produce. I agree about the bicycles. I can’t stop photographing them. They seem to turn up in extraordinary places.

  3. That’s what I always say when I see a cute caravan too. I’d love to see the inside.
    The difference in scale between the boat and the skeleton is really shocking. Wow.

  4. Your skeleton is quite an example – the biggest of all. Your dessert buffet certainly makes my dessert buffet quite small (lol). Ah to sit on that porch & watch the sea.

  5. What a grand set of photos for the Scavenger Hunt and your memory treasure chest. Loved the family gathering one – which was one of Ali Edwards’ story stamp/spark kits. I will try to get my act together and do this next summer…it looks like so much fun. Congrats on your 31 books read and still counting!
    Cheers~

  6. Such interesting photos! I always enjoy getting to see places I may never have the chance to visit. Ooh, I’d like a peek inside that little camper too – I just love them … Great bicycle shots – looks as if you had quite a steep climb? And a lovely summery photo of you :).
