Scavenger Hunt Sunday - May 26, 2013

Welcome to SHS -  For those in the U.S.  I hope you have been enjoying your Memorial Day holiday weekend. 

This weeks prompts are:  Vacation (what's that?),  Food, Sound, Texture and Anything.  - Click to Enlarge Photos for more detail.



VACATION:  We haven't taken a real vacation in several years.  Most of our vacations consist of 1 day trips like the little jaunt we took on Saturday up to my brother's cabin in the mountains. 

Coleen is enjoying the view from the balcony and a vacation away from home.

FOOD(S):  My brother and his wife served up some great burgers and fixings.


SOUND:  This one is a bit of a stretch or maybe not...

One of the views from his property.

TEXTURE:
A portion of their fire pit area.  I like the contrast of the burnt wood/coals with the rusted metal rim and the concrete background and twigs.  Lots of different texture there.

ANYTHING:
I decided on this little wild flower for my "anything" shot as I have not seen anything like this before today.  It could have been used for texture too, just look at the feather like fuzz on the petals.

A Bonus Shot of Coleen with the Mushrooms (Morel's) that my brother helped her find.

    You did a wonderful job with these!
    The plate of food looks delicious.
    With that view I'd want to 'vacation' year round. :)

    I hope she is careful with those muchrooms. I think they are toxic. But can be eaten after throwing away the boiling water.

    Nothing beats a grilled hamburger and the first official cookout of the summer!

    Colleen has beautiful eyebrows, doesn't she?! I wish mine looked like that! Love the view from your brother's cabin!!! I don't think that was a stretch at all! We have NEVER taken a vacation...not in 40 years of marriage. Hubby traveled all he wanted when his dad was in the Navy and he was growing up being moved everywhere.
