Scavenger Hunt Sunday - June 30, 2013



Summer has arrived with a bang!  We went from rainy, cool 65 degree weather on Monday to 98 degree weather today with 104 expected for this coming Monday - Talk about a sudden change in climate. 

So let's get started shall we on this week's Scavenger Hunt Sunday.

The prompts this week were:  Tools, Motion, Sweet, Dots and Stripes. - Click to Enlarge photo's.

TOOLS:  -  Caught this shot of hubby last week working with some tools in our back yard area.  He kinda looks a bit weary here me thinks!

MOTION:  You get 2 for this prompt because I liked them both.

My mom's new dog, Pixie running towards me.  Look at her go!

Coleen started her summer swimming lessons this week.  - Look at her go!

SWEET:

Local "sweet" Bing Cherries - Yum!

DOTS:  Our cat, Dottie,  Can you figure out why we named her that?

STRIPES:  Some candy striped petunia's from my garden.  I had a little fun playing around with textures on this photo.


So that's it for me.  -  Coleen is participating this week if you'd like to check out her photo's at  http://creativecoleen.blogspot.com/2013/06/scavenger-hunt-sunday-june-30-2013.html .

  16. I think your hubby might look weary cause that's hard work with those tools. Hope this wasn't in the 98 degree weather. :)
    Colleen is looking like a champ.
    How sweet that your Mom got a new doggie. Lovely little glint in his eye.
    Yummy looking cherries!
    I think your stripes is so perfect! I like the out of the box thought behind it.

  17. Your hubby does look beat! I hope he's not out there working in this heat wave we're havng. Not quite as hot here as there, though. We're in the high 70's - low 80's. Pretty warm for us on the coast and with no air conditioning it hard to get to sleep at night. The temp doesn't drop off much at night. I'm a wimp and want our cooler weather back! Thanks for sharing all your fabulous photos, Ida!

  25. Oh, now I understand. You have a photo of your husband with tools also. LOL. Those bing cherries look so appealing. It can be hard to take good food photos.
