Welcome! - Let's get started shall we on this weeks Scavenger Hunt Sunday. The prompts were challenging (at least to me) this week. Here they are: Fun, Arts & Crafts, Messy, Blessing and Effort.

FUN:
ARTS & CRAFTS: Coleen helped me on this one by making a little craft project today. Here she is with her cotton ball dog which Cuddles is checking out. Sorry for the bad lighting, my craft room is horrible to take pictures in.
MESSY:
The squirrels are rather "messy" with the peanuts I leave out for them. Here's some of their left over mess after they've cracked open the peanuts. You can also spot a little bit of a bird mess on the concrete wall as well. Thank goodness it wasn't a big mess.
BLESSING: Being able to take a road trip for a few hours today with Coleen and my mom was a blessing and seeing country side like this was also a blessing.
EFFORT: This one was the hardest of all for me. I'm going with a very loose interpretation here so bear with me. Please note that Coleen actually took this photo for me out the window as we were driving by some of the turbines.
On our little excursion out we drove past a wind turbine area and got to see these things up close (man are they huge). I suppose some believe this is an effort to find a better and cheaper way to generate power then electricity. Me I just found them fascinating to watch.
So that's it for the hunt this week. Do stop by Ashley's blog (Ramblings and Photos) to check out the other participants.
Such a colorful blanket and yes I did see Colleen in the picture. Won't ruin it for others though :)
ReplyDeleteI gave my cat the same look when he wanted to play with my emery board this week while I was using it!
The wide open countryside...I miss it.
These are fantastic, Ida! Love the wind turbines!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Ida. This week was very challenging for me too - especially effort. I think I redid my post a dozen times. Colleen's craft picture is so cute and the countryside is truly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThose last two are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI like your set. Coleen is a great helper and see she's got the photobug already. My fave is the blessings shot-a gorgeous landscape. And thanks for mentioning that cute little face under the blanket fort, I might have missed it.
ReplyDeleteColeen is a very talented photographer!
ReplyDeleteLoved the project she was working in. And I could spot her in the little fort she built. I liked building them too when was a child. :)
Your (and Colleen's) photos just keep getting better and better Ida. Well done!
ReplyDeleteNo doubt some nice pictures, I love those landscapes! Best regards!
ReplyDeleteYour landscape shots are fabulous and it is always fun to see what Coleen is up to.
ReplyDeleteGreat set! The prompts for the last few weeks have been hard for me, too! I know Colleen enjoys crafting with you, love her dog. You've captured some beautiful skies in the last two images. There's a plant near by that makes these wind turbines. I've passed them on the highway many times. It takes a very, very long trailer to just carry one "wing." Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love your blessing picture! It is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIda, Glad you had an opportunity to spend time with your Mom and Daughter. Your blessings picture is great!

Ida, I don't know where you live, but the landscape there is stunning. I love "Blessing" - those rolling fields and wonderful clouds. And Coleen did a terrific job on the wind turbines. I love that you gave her credit and an official copyright notice.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots - that blanket is fun all by itself!
ReplyDeleteI love that picture of the field and the clouds. Very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots all and I love your blessing shot especially

ReplyDeleteLove Colleens cotton ball dog...and great job on the wind turbines.
ReplyDeleteIda-your country looks so much like my neighborhood-down to the wind turbines even!!!
ReplyDeletei really love the last two.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE your "blessings" shot--gorgeous!! Looks like you had a beautiful day to enjoy your excursion. Where (which state) do you live, if you don't mind my asking? The landscape of your last photos remind me of when we lived in northeastern Montana--if you saw any trees, it's because there was a house nearby. (Living in Montana was the first time I'd heard the expression "domesticated trees," too!)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! I love the little cotton ball dog!! How fun to sleep in a fort! Those were the days!
ReplyDeleteHad a hard time finding Coleen in that shot but I finally did. I love, love, love that Blessing Shot. Have a great week, Ida!
ReplyDeleteStunning countryside shot! Beautiful!
