Scavenger Hunt Sunday - March 3, 2013

Welcome!  It's time to join in on the fun of Scavenger Hunt Sunday.  You know the drill if you've been by for the hunt at some point.  If not the idea is that we are give 5 prompts that we take pictures of and then post them on Sunday on Ashley's blog, Ramblings and Photos.

This weeks prompts were colors:  Red, Orange, Yellow, Green & Blue.

RED:

Coleen asked me to hold on to her apple while she was swinging and I set it down on the bench.  I thought the RED of the apple looked great on the RED bench that I was sitting on.  Originally I was going to use a picture of the playground equipment that was red and white but I think I'll save that for another time.

                                                                                                                                    
ORANGE: 

Not much ORANGE left on these old Chinese lantern plants but there's just enough to qualify them for the prompt.

YELLOW:

My YELLOW daffodils are starting to bloom!  Yeah, spring is on the way!!!

GREEN:  Couldn't make up my mind on this prompts so you get 2 photos.

The neighbors cat, Fluffy (now known as Fluffy the Floozy, it's a long story) has lovely GREEN eyes.

Coleen in her GREEN shirt, GREEN jacket and a lot of GREEN leaves and moss.

BLUE:  This one is an Archived photo and not because I couldn't find anything blue to take a picture of.  I took this last summer and just hadn't had a chance to post and it's just to pretty not to share.

I spotted these gorgeous BLUE Morning Glory flowers one day on the way home from the library.  I had to stop and take a picture of them.  There was an entire cascade of these lovely blue flowers but I love this close-up shot of them.

Have a great week and don't forget to check out the other particpants enteries.

Orange You Glad It's Friday #3

Welcome! - Well this post has taken me FOREVER to get up and running.  I had it all ready to go but wanted to include a link to my other blog and somehow after I finished the post for the other blog I ended up deleting the original post for this blog so had to start all over again.  Plus I've had 4 different phone calls this morning while trying to get this post up, no one every calls unless I'm trying to do something.  Needless to say I'm a bit frustrated at this point.

If you are here to view my Flower Art or Photo Art Friday entries PLEASE click on the provided link and you will be taken to that entry.

Now it's time to join me for:



I was out taking a short walk with my mom and Coleen this week and we happened upon something that brought back memories from my childhood.  One of my Aunts use to grow this plant and I loved them as a kid and was just delighted to have spotted them growing in some one's flower bed near where I live.  They were perfect for this prompt. 

So what is this plant?  It's called, Chinese Lantern Plant and you can read about them by clicking on the link.

Here is my favorite photo and I'll be sharing a couple more as well.

Inside these wonderful orange pods are small reddish orange fruits that look like cherry tomatoes.

These are such colorful and decorative plants.  I need to find some seeds and plant a few in my own garden next year to enjoy.

Don't forget to stop by Sarah's blog and check out all the other entries for your "orange" fix.

Also I have a card up on my other blog today that has the color orange in it.  You can check it out HERE if you'd like but I'll include a small photo of the card here as well.

Have a fantastic weekend. - I hope to get around to visiting your blogs  and commenting as soon as I can.
