It’s the mid-summer check-in for the Summer Photography Scavenger Hunt hosted by the lovely Mary-Lou at Patio Postcards. I have six more to share, which (by my count) leaves me with eight on the master list and one of the alternates to find before the end of September.
The first is the Art of the Fold. I take no credit for these folded stars. Sarah used to fold them while she watched a television show. At one point I thought she wanted to put them in a lamp base, but for now, this is a pretty cool decoration in her sewing room.
The Shape of Round: I have three photos of two circular finds. The first is the inside dome in the Heinens Grocery Store in Cleveland. I have two views of it.
Next up is a very cool plaque in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
Finding something that was a cause for celebration was an easy one. Tracy’s mom turned 92 on the fifth of July. Dessert was six Nothing Bundt Cakes in a variety of flavors.
Inside Your Fridge or Cupboard. It’s a constant battle to keep our pantry organized. A few years ago we invested in some metal racks and baskets and some plastic boxesthat have really helped. This was our latest reorganization done last week.
These Black-Handed Spider Monkeys at the Racine Zoo did exactly as I hoped they would do for the Upside Down, Right Side Up prompt.
Next up is Steps, But Who’s Counting-also found at the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
And lastly, one from the Alternates list—all the masks for COVID safety hanging on hooks at Sarah’s house. We have a few in our kitchen as well, although not quite the collection seen here. We’re back to wearing them almost everywhere again, even outside yesterday visiting family with a new baby. It’s hard to see an end in sight, although once the grandchildren are able to be vaccinated it will be a bit easier. We had hoped that might be available by September, but it’s looking more like November or December. It’s discouraging, to say the least.
Thanks again to Mary-Lou for hosting and creating the fun lists each summer.
Karen thanks for joining in with the SPSH. I like Sarah’s stars, she has lots of patience. WOW to the ceiling window in the grocery store; I think that would be a store worth visiting just for the dome. A very neat & tidy cupboard … I particularly like the rack for the soup cans. I’m now on the search for one. Oh pretty views with those stairs.
As to COVID safety … mask wearing has never been lifted in our province (thank goodness) – the rising new cases of the Delta variant is very worrying & that is as contagious as chickenpox (1/12) is enough for me to stay out of crowds & keep my double mask with filter on.
Great finds and oh gosh! I used to make those little stars. Need to search how they are done, as I’ve completely forgotten, but I love the idea of putting them in a lamp base!
I love the jar of stars, so fun and colorful. The ceiling window is beautiful. I am curious about the rest of the store. I use similar plastic bins for my pantry, cupboards and refrigerator. It’s a great way to corral everything. I enjoyed getting a glimpse in your pantry too. Bonne Maman, Helmann’s and Grandma’s molasses are staples here. Love the zoo, just finished reading West With Giraffes, slow beginning but I really enjoyed it. I am totally with you on the mask situation. Stay well.
what a fun lens to take on a trip! I’m sad to see that last photo, but it’s the same here. well, except we don’t keep them on a hook by the door (because no hooks by the door) but we aren’t leaving home without them these days…
I am in awe of the paper stars – I don’t have the hand eye coordination for that type of job.
I love your take on the prompts, especially the upside down and right side up monkeys. That was a brilliant use of a prompt!
My goodness, those stars are so pretty – and what a fiddly job! Well done to Sarah. That’s a very tidy pantry :). Many congratulations to Tracy’s Mum; those Bundt cakes look delicious. You have a real eye for finding interesting shapes in your photos …
