Hip, Hip Hooray - I am "finally" joining the fun of: SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY hosted by Ashley Sisk (Ramblings and Photos)
The prompts this week were:
Favorite, Angled, Curved, Cropped and Texture.
Click to Enlarge Photos
My first photo also serves as the last of the 3 Day Quote Challenge I was nominated to participate in.
I'm foregoing nominating people today. If you feel you'd like to give this a try go ahead and post to your blog and let me know you took up the challenge.
FAVORITE:
I took this shot of Coleen at Bennington lake recently and just loved the way it turned out. It's one of my "favorite" photos of her.
ANGLED:
I did an "angled" shot of Bandit sleeping on the couch. You will also notice the odd angle that he's sleeping at. I don't know how cats manage to be comfortable in such weird positions.
CURVED:
I loved the "curved" roof/porch on this house. It's so different.
CROPPED:
I took this picture of a crow in some tree branches and then "cropped" it to show the details of the crow better.
TEXTURE:
I'm loving the "texture"of the moss, grass and Ivy in this shot.
It was fun finally finding all the prompts for the week and joining in. I hope to do so more often this year.
For those who might want to participate next week here are the prompts:
Joining Eileen today for SATURDAY'S CRITTERS and participating in Day 2 of the Quote Challenge
Meet....Gwen. She belongs to the same people who owned Eric the cat that sadly we lost last year when he was hit by a car. He was featured many times on my blog. - Gwen is very "shy" so it's hard to get good pictures of her. I caught this one of her from across the street. As soon as I tried to get closer she took off and headed back around the corner of the house.
I followed her around the house though and very caustiously snapped a couple of close-up photos of her.
Isn't she a beautiful cat. Those eyes are so pretty.
So today I am not going to nominate the following people for the quote challenge. Remember you do not have to take up the challenge if you don't want to.
1. Have you ever noticed how cats seem to enjoy cramming themselves into cardboard boxes. This one was on the floor the other night and several of the cats decided to get inside. This is Harley one of the "larger" cats we have. I love how his paw is draped outside the box.
Did you know "Big Cats" like boxes too? - Check out this video
So I'll also be using this photo for FELINE ART - Altered to this version:
2. We haven't had a lot of snow here this winter (I'm so thankful for that) but we have had some and lots of rain lately. A couple of weeks ago I showed photos of Bennington Lake and the mountains but I did share this shot I took. It's part of the lake itself.
I don't think many people are going to head out onto the lake with thin ice but hey the warnings signs are a good thing.
3. During one of the better weather days last week Coleen, her mom & I took a little walk around the neighborhood. We spotted these bushes in someones yard. The white things looked a lot like blooms from a distance but actually turned out to be white berries. Reminds me of popcorn. It could also remind one of snow I suppose. Sort of "artsy" I think.
If you like snow and art check out this LINK - You'll be amazed for sure.
4. Last week Coleen turned 11 years old. Hard to believe she's almost a teenager. - With part of her birthday money she bought a watch. On the way home she suddendly says: "Well that was rather insulting!" - I'm think what are you talking about so I ask her.
She replies: "The box says, This is NOT a toy. Not intended for children under the age of 12!" Yep, I'd say they goofed on that warning for sure.
This is her and her mom laughing before she blew out the birthday candles.
5. Finally I was nominated yesterday (McGuffy's Reader) for a Quote Challenge - I love adding quotes to my photos so I had to participate in this one.
I've always liked that quote by Anne Frank every since Junior High (now known as Middle School) when I read the book, The Diary of Anne Frank.
It amazes me that even with all she went through and dying at such a young age she was so wise beyond her years.
The rules of the challenge are simple. They are as follows:
1. Post for three consecutive days. 2. Choose and share one or three quotes each day. 3. Challenge three additional bloggers each day.
