Summer is officially over. I’m really not ready to have that happen, but I’m happy to report that I did manage to find all 21 items for Rinda’s Summer Scavenger Hunt. I had to use one of her bonus/substitute items, though, because we never found a cloud in the shape of something that was clear enough to count. So here is a sundial I found in a public garden area in my mother-in-law’s new condo complex.
Earlier I posted a photo of a cute, but unknown, baby taking a nap. But now I have an even cuter “baby” named Caleb napping in his car seat on the way to Chicago in August.
And here I am, stamping away in my studio.
A bench was one of Rinda’s items on the scavenger hunt this year, and I started a little collection of them. Here are a few more I haven’t shared.
And two favorites. This one in the front yard of a friend:
And this one on East Ave. and Goodman St.
As always, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this project and appreciate all the time and effort Rinda puts in to creating the list, and keeping us linked up on Gallo Organico. One of my favorite things about this photography project is how involved my friends and family get when I bring my camera along on an adventure, and explain the project to them. We got a lot of laughs one Sunday looking in the clouds for something recognizable. My friend, Robert, had one vision after another, but the rest of us thought most of it was truly his vision!
You can find the others’ link-ups here, and a collection of all my Scavenger Hunt photos can be found here.
Great fun seeing your photos…
You certainly do have a wonderful bench collection
and Caleb is absolutely precious!
I am off to check out your other photos

Can’t beat a gorgeous sleeping toddler!
You have collected a great range of benches Karen and I completely understand how images in the clouds are truly in the eyes of the beholder!
Those are all such wonderful, original benches!
Love those benches, especially the last two photos.
Those benches are gorgeous – well done for getting the photos. It’s all been a lot of fun right through the summer.

WOW…love the benches.
Love this collection of benches!
Well done on finishing up! I love the benches too, but it’s also lovely to see where you produce all that beautiful stamping
Lovely to see your photos and nice to see your studio too!
I’d love the bench balanced on pots in my garden.
so many fabulous benches and a great collection of scavenger snaps
so many fab photos I have loved looking at them but I think the Koala is my fave
I think you definitely win on the bench finds Karen.
Wow! How original are your benches they look fantastic. I really love your studio photograph, it looks like a very creative space. Andy
Love your little napper. You found some very interesting benches.
Such a gorgeous grandson! But I have to admit to love seeing you, too. My, what a big screen you have. . . lovely benches, too. I have two extras I intend to post sometime. And a truly, lovely sundial. YOu may remember a sundial was on the hunt badge in an earlier year, and I remain intrigued with them.
Thanks so much for playing along this year and your kind words.
Rinda
I love all your benches, very quirky!
Congratulations on finishing the quest – I’m also not ready for summer to be finished. I like that last bench and a sleeping child is always a good thing 🙂
Wow – those are amazing benches – what a fabulous collection of photos – and your little one napping is gorgeous!
Aw, I love that photo of you stamping, Karen. :o) I know what you mean about the fun of having family members involved. Doug is still looking for things that I’ve already found. Haha. Well done on collecting all 21!
Great job with the hunt this year! I’ve really enjoyed your collection of benches.
Robbie was a huge help to me this year & we enjoyed searching for items together on our road trips & finishing up the hunt near home!
Cool mini-collection of benches. They call for a collage on a scrapbook page, I think.
Great collection of photos, loved all those benches. Also had a read of your visit to Greece and Turkey – fabulous, and what COLOURS!! I already have Turkey on my list of countries to travel to, and your photos just made me yearn for going right now.
well done on getting 21. I love your bench collection, hope you will continue collecting them
I’ve loved following your scavenger hunting karen! I especially love your little collection of bench photos:)
