Helena has come up with another great photography meme for 2016. I knew I wanted to start with one of the Winter Scavenger Hunt items, and thought I’d post the rest of the items I’ve found at the same time.
A wreath is #8 on the Winter Scavenger Hunt. The first is over our fireplace, the second hanging above the chapel door at our church, and the bottom two were on the wall at the Chicago Botanic Garden as part of a wreath making competition. I’m quite fond of the rectangular one with the bright red cardinal.
Tinsel is #2. I was beginning to think I’d waited too long for this one, but in the entryway to a restaurant on Sunday I found this tree with silver tinsel.
A star is #4.
Number 5 is a snowman. I’m pretty sure I’ll find one made of snow before winter is over here, but there hasn’t been enough snow in Rochester (thankfully), and the snow in Chicago wasn’t the right kind for making snowmen (much to Caleb’s disappointment.)
Driving to Whole Foods in Evanston, I passed this park, hopped out of the van, and took this photo of #6: puddle(s).
And last, for now, is #15: candlelight on our dining room table.
I’m linking this with Helena’s meme, SNAP, and to Joy and Eileen’s link-up for the Winter Scavenger Hunt. The only item I’m a little worried about is pudding. I think there’s a broader definition in Europe, and I need to do some investigating.
a lovely set of wreaths and yes the rectangle one is very appealing. Great puddle reflections and love your candles on your table
Me too, I love that final photo. Such an atmospheric centrepiece for a Christmas (season) meal. The second snowman is great too – so cute!
Pudding can be specifically a steamed sponge with treacle or jam or syrup … or roly poly pudding … or Eve’s pudding … but we just use the word freely to mean dessert. The only trouble is picking a favourite! :o)
You’ve made a fantastic start to the hunt. I like the rectangular wreath and may consider something similar for myself next year.
As Ella says, a pudding is a dessert, so just pick your favourite one!
That rectangular wreath is beautiful. The red bird just makes it. I’d love to try to do one like that next year. A lovely set of photos.
I love our snap collection.
I think it will be an intriguing photo meme for the year.
I’ve been told that pudding simply means dessert, so there should be plenty of opportunities for that one. I really, really like your atmospheric puddles and beautiful candles.

Such lovely wreaths – wonderful Snap 4. What a great series for the WPSH – great puddle with the tree reflections.
That puddle photo is just wonderful … And I enjoyed those pretty wreaths. Your first little snowman is especially cute! A lovely, varied selection :).
I too love the red cardinal wreath
Great photos Karen! I especially like the variety in those wreaths – a great grouping for the first Snap!
Well done on your snap and on the photo hunt. Some great captures. There have been some beautiful wreaths shown. There square one is lovely in its own way. That is some puddle!
beautiful photos, I must get going with mine x
One seldom thinks of the rectangle shape for a wreath! Love the perspective and so looking forward to your photos of all the various memes you follow…surely some will live on as one of your wonderful cards!
Cheers~
What a neat collection of wreaths – I almost did the same thing with the many different ones I snapped while thinking of the winter scavenger hunt. Do love cardinals, such a pop of bright colours against grey winter days.
