Scavenger Hunt Sunday - September 23, 2012

Welcome! - Won't you join me for this weeks edition of Scavenger Hunt Sunday.

This weeks prompts are:  Cracked, Fallen, Ordinary Color, Bokeh and Fence.
I have to admit that I struggled with a couple of the prompts this week but managed to get them all in just not as well as I would have liked to.

CRACKED:

There is a house up the street from us that has a Walnut tree that they just let fall to the ground for the squirrels to eat.  I spotted this one on the way to pick Coleen up from school.  Not only is the shell cracked but it's a bit smashed as well.

                                                                                                              FALLEN:


Out on a walk to take photos I spotted this decaying leaf where it had fallen from the tree onto the sidewalk.  I thought the colors were very striking and decided to photograph it.

ORDINARY COLOR:

I snapped this shot by accident while trying to adjust my camera settings.  See if you can figure out what this ordinary color is.


Blue Jeans!

BOKEH:  This was the hardest one for me this week.  With all the haze and ash from the fires in the central part of the state wafting our way there wasn't much sunlight in which to capture Bokeh very well.  I did get this shot the same day as the leaf photo and while it doesn't have as much bokeh as I would have liked you can still spot some in the photo.



                                                                                                             FENCE:

My mom had a section of her fence repainted this week and I snapped a portion of it,  a knothole showing the neighbors metal fence (albeit a bit blurred) through the hole.

That's it for this weeks hunt.  Blogger has been giving me fits lately and it took almost 2 hours to get this post up.  Frustrating!!! - Don't forget to stop by Ashley's blog and check out the other participants.

  1. Great interpretations! Cracked is wonderful and I love what you did for Fence, focusing on a particular spot instead of showcasing the whole fence.

  4. A very nice set of phtots. I'm going to guess the ordinary color is a pair of ordinary denim jeans.

  17. I love your new header. It says, "Fall is here!" Love it! I could just reach out and eat that smashed walnut. It looks so good. Your bokeh turned out nicely, too. Good job!
