Scavenger Hunt Sunday - Jan. 8 2012

Hello - It's been a good week.  In fact I've enjoyed most of this week. Coleen went back to school so my mornings have been quiet and my time has been mine to do what I wanted.  This week I decided to get back into joining in on Ashley's, Scavenger Hunt Sunday prompts.  I spent some time outside this week and inside as well getting pictures to match this weeks prompts.
One Color, Laundry, Empty, One Dozen and Soft.  - Some of these I thought were going to be hard but they actually came pretty easy once I started taking photo's.

Up first for One Color:  Took this one during breakfast this morning after a lightbulb went off in my head about how my breakfast was,  One Color. 

Yum! - What's better then Peanut Butter and Bread!

Next up:  Laundry. - At first I thought who wants to see a pile of dirty laundry, we have a lot of that around our house on any given day.  We don't have a close-line for cool outdoor shots of clothes blowing in the breeze so I wondered just what I could get to capture laundry to make it interesting.  Low and behold the problem was solved when I spotted this in the living room one morning:

Doesn't Captain Cuddles look content perched on top of the clean towels that hubby had folded the night before.  He slept there most of the morning too before I decided to put the towels away.
Moving right along let's see what I decided upon for the prompt of, Empty.
I had thought about a shot of my empty coffee cup or the bag of BBQ potato chips that I couldn't stop munching on while watching TV but ended up with something totally different.  I had started out on a drive to go photograph some Geese and as I started to drive past our city park I had another "light-bulb" moment and quickly pulled into the park.  This shot is also being entered in Shadow Shot Sunday2 . This will be my first time participating there.

This is the fountain at the park and well it's obviously "empty" as now water is flowing in the fountain nor the basin either. - I like how the shadows of the trees are falling across the fountain.  It was a lovely day outside to take pictures.

Next up: One Dozen.  Again I thought, who wants to see a picture of a Dozen Eggs in a carton (not very original) well at least not to me.  I really got lucky when I took this photo.  I was trying to get a picture of a bunch of black ravens in the trees behind our house but they flew about the time I snapped the picture.  As "luck" would have it I just happened to be able to capture 1 Dozen Ravens flying in this picture. Okay I'll, "fess-up" and admit that I did crop out a few of the birds in the photo and I'm not counting the ones sitting in the trees.  If you look closely in the upper left of the photo there are 2 birds flying together so you have to count them as more then just one bird.
This last one is my favorite of the week. I had the pleasure of finally meeting my newest relative, my "Great-Niece, Callista Claire Antes who was born on December 19th, 2011.
We were suppose to meet her Christmas morning but her mom wasn't feeling well so sadly we had to wait but it was worth it.  She is just so precious and yes, she's:

Soft! - See how I worked that last prompt in!


Can't wait to see what the new prompts will be.  Sometimes they are easy to come up with shots for and sometimes, not so much but they are always fun and challenging.

Do take the time to stop by Ashley's Blog and check out some of the other enteries.

  31. I see many empty fountains when I visit Mexico, and it always makes me sad...

    A SHADOW THE SIZE OF THE SUN

    If I had a shadow the size of the sun,
    I’m not sure how fast I’d be able to run,
    Or if I could flee from its ravenous jaws,
    While keeping away from its razor-sharp claws!
