This is the third summer I’ve played along with Rinda’s Summer Scavenger Hunt. If it had been a spring scavenger hunt, I’d be well on my way to finding the 21 items, as many of the things on her list are among the photos I took on our trip. But, alas, I must start anew. In the last week I’ve gotten three checked off (and one that might do in a pinch, but I’m not ready to surrender to that item yet.)
The first one (open air market) was easy. We go to the Brighton Farmer’s Market almost every Sunday from June through October. Everything is organic, and there’s usually a great selection of fresh produce, baked goods, honey, flowers, and fresh eggs and meat.
Matt flew in from Denver for the weekend, so I took my camera to the airport hoping to find an airplane. None in sight! But on the way home, a plane was flying in along Elmwood Ave. and my camera was sitting right there in my lap. I’m pretty pleased with this one, taken through my car window.
I’ll be adding another bench to the list some day, but this one was sitting outside The Piggery, a butcher shop in Ithaca, New York, and I couldn’t pass up the chance to get a third photo.
And yes, I am working on all those vacation photos. We’ve narrowed the several hundred (from over 1,000 taken) down to a reasonable number, and now I’m trying to organize them into some sensible blog posts.
Great shots karen! The market looks great, (we live near the town of Brighton on the south coast of England:)), and the airplane shot is stunning! I’ve only managed 1 so far, the dinosaur!
Oh these are gorgeous! I love the aeroplane, I am always surprised at how well the pictures taken through the car window are… Good picture at the market and what a great hat!
Wonderful scavenger hunt photos! What a beautiful blue sky & the market sounds wonderful.
That Farmers Market looks just the type that I love.
Great shot from a moving vehicle! I still haven’t even started…
Great three to start you off. Such great composition.
I’ve seen a couple of open air markets, for the scavenger hunt prompt, and I am fascinated that they resemble one another so closely. I always think that something in the UK or the US or Spain will be remarkably different to here and more often than not it is not.
Love the photos Karen – The Piggery for a butcher cracks me up. It is great to see Farmers Markets doing great trade around the world. We have one near us every 2nd Saturday, it makes you wonder why we settle for supermarket produce.
Still waiting for those holiday photos.
Beautiful. And, yes, I’m looking out for some more trip photos too, please 🙂
I think Amy’s observation is really interesting – maybe markets are universal in structure? And I love your bench.
Rinda
