Well, just how did it get to be the end of July so quickly? I’m really hoping to find all 21 items on Rinda’s list this year, so I needed to get a move on recently. One night last week we drove up to Charlotte Beach on Lake Ontario to see if I could find a fisherman and a sunset. I managed both.
This man was very friendly, and made every effort to make sure I got a decent shot. (#19 fisherman)
As we were walking back down the pier, these two still had their lines out as they came down the Genesee River to their dock.
I have two to offer for the sunset (#5).
On Sunday as we drove to Seneca Lake, Tracy spotted this cute windmill (#16). I had another photo op in mind for a windmill, but this will suffice for now.
The first two stained glass (#14) windows are from our church.
Here’s a more modern offering from the Corn Hill Arts Festival.
The candle (#17) was on the table for our anniversary. I didn’t notice until after I’d taken the photo that the candle actually singed the edges of the flower.
On our travels Sunday, we encountered a young couple with a sleeping baby (nap: #6), and they were willing to let me take his photo.
So now I just have three items left to find—none of them easy, I might add. I’m glad there’s still a good six weeks left!
BUT, I have two more photos to share. I’ve already posted photos for a police car, but we followed this old one down the road on Sunday. I zoomed in with my iPhone from the back seat of the van, and it’s actually a pretty decent shot.
Two years ago, I hunted and hunted and hunted, but never found anyone on a unicycle. This year at the Farmer’s Market, there he was. So two years late, but finally found. I’m still looking for a pirate from that year.
By clicking on “Summer Scavenger Hunt” under “Categories” on my sidebar, you can find the rest of my scavenger hunt photos. You’ll be able to find more fun scavenger hunt finds right here today.
Some great catches,Karen….my favourite is that second sunset….just beautiful.
Your shots are beautiful as always Karen! Love the sunset shots, and that old police car is really cool!
Just adore the first stained glass window – BJ
Perfect sunsets..and I’m another one who is glad you added in that police car. It’s brilliant!
Dropping by from Rinda’s – and really enjoying your photos. Those of the sea are just lovely.
Funnily enough – before I found my fire truck – we drove by some sort of old American police car too – but I couldn’t get my camera out in time! [And we live in the N.E of England .. son not really where you’d expect to see one!]
And I know the feeling about finally finding a photo from a previous year. Earlier this month I could be heard mumbling ‘where were you *last* year when I needed you?’ … when walking by a ‘bride’!!
Haha – I know what you mean. I’ve seen so many unicycles since that first round – and ant hills! Funny that I can still remember items from the list from the first two years. :o)
Anyway, I love your photos, Karen. I’m always a big fan of your photography anyway, so seeing your take on the scavenger hunt items has been a really fun. I love your fisherman shot!
Great fisherman shot! Great sunset shots too. How nice that your subjects were so cooperative.
Fabulous group of photos for the scavenger hunt! I especially like that first sunset and the windmill photos.
That second sunset shot is gorgeous! Fun collection and glad to hear you travel off to find items too, for me that is part of the fun 🙂
Gosh, I’d like to be on that boat, the colours remind me of the ‘life of pi’ film, lovely photos!
What a glorious fisherman – he’s so full of life casting his line!
And those sunsets are just show stoppers. I love your church windows and am totally charmed by the police car.
Thanks for linking up!
Rinda
Your sunset photos are just stunning 🙂
You got a unicycle … it’s never too late!
Karen, I learn so much from seeing your photos and you always, always have such a wonderful collection – these are no exception!
Better late than never! You have some great shots there, but I’d expect nothing less from you.
Oh and I managed to catch that blue hour you posted about a while back for my tower shot.
The sunsets are simply stunning Karen. I want to be in that second one…
You have some stunning photos, I like the stained glass windows and the sunsets, I have yet to find a fisherman and a windmill.
