Scavenger Hunt Sunday - April 14, 2013

Welcome!  -  If you have stopped by to see my Photo Art Friday piece click on the link.

Now without further ado won't you join me for Ashley's Scavenger Hunt Sunday.

This weeks prompts:  Glow, Old, Shadow, Spring and Smile.

GLOW:

Took a nature walk around the neighborhood today while the sun was out (which wasn't for very long) and captured the "glow" of the sun on this lovely yellow flowering shrub.

OLD:

Hieroglyphic's are "old" aren't they?

Okay this is actually a chalk drawing that Coleen drew on our driveway today (see original below) but I made it look pretty "Old" don't you think!



SHADOW:  Not to creative here and the cooperation for the photo wasn't that great either.

It's the neighbor's cat, Fluffy (the pregnant, floozy, birdkiller) and her "shadow"!

SPRING:

Nothing says "Spring" like the Dogwoods in bloom.


SMILE:

My niece and her 2 boys (my great-nephews) sharing a "smile" for the camera.


Our spring started out so nice with a beautiful week during Easter and for a couple of days afterwards.  Now it's cold, rainy, windy and did I mention cold....Come back spring...we hardly knew ye!!!

  1. That first shot is gorgeous! I don't know what that shrub is but I'd love to have one.
    Ha,ha - you fooled me with the hieroglyphic's - neat idea though.
    A pretty cat no matter her trangressions. :)
    Beautiful smiles!

    We went from a record breaking 86 Wednesday to 60 today. The wind made it feel colder.

  2. That first photo is beautiful. It sounds like Northwest Washington is having the same weather as Southeast Washington. I guess we will have to leave the state to get warm sun shine.*sigh* Or wait for June.

  12. The blooms are beautiful! We don't have stuff like that just yet. You did a very good job of editing Coleen's photo! It does look old.

  13. You have more spring than we do - not barely a bud on any given tree! I'm jealous of the dogwoods & flowering bushes.
    And yes, your hieroglyphics are amazingly "old" LOL!

  19. Great photos, Ida! Of course, I love the flowers. My baby pink dogwood hasn't bloomed since I planted it a couple of years ago. This weekend we drove to Eugene and the native white dogwoods were blooming along the river. So pretty! I remember that gorgeous Easter weekend. It was in the 70's here. I want it to come back, too!
