SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY 1.20.13


Oh how I love SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY!
I type the words into the NOTES app of my i-Phone &
promptly forget to check the list...
(although I have good intentions every week)
then... on Saturday or Sunday,
I scramble like crazy to find pictures.
Well, I DO have some pictures to share for this week's words:
BASKET, PARK, AUTO, RECYCLE & PEOPLE WATCHING

BASKET

ACE (youngest daughter) loved collecting tiny --- miniature --- things. Here's a BASKET next to two tiny mice. The penny is there to demonstrate the actual size of the items. (sorry for the blur - in a hurry).
PARK
Perfect weather... for a morning walk at the PARK... we visited the Santa Barbara Botanical Gardens (Friday).

AUTO
An old AUTO... a Chrysler with a new antenna. It must be hard to find parts for older cars... JPE noticed a modern antenna on this old car!!

RECYCLE
JPE is proud of his compost! and our roses love the rich, dark soil with its natural nutrients. We RECYCLE coffee grounds, tea leaves, egg shells, fruit & vegetable waste... into a small, open-air bin behind our condo.

PEOPLE WATCHING
We did some PEOPLE WATCHING at Alice Keck Park... the three children were feeding the ducks stale bread & donuts. One bite for them... one tossed bite for the ducks... very cute!

I'll be typing these words into my i-Phone: LACE, BLING, WOOD, FUZZY & FABRIC --- hope you'll consider joining SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY.

  2. I love your park shot - very tranquil! I'm also impressed by people who compost; I keep thinking that I should start, but I guess I'm just lazy. LOL

  3. Your people watching shot in the park is quite the contrast to my empty park one due to the cold temps here in Michigan.
    Great set!

  4. My daughter loves mini things too. She has many little collections. So cute! I type the prompts in my phone as well to help me remember to capture the prompts, but always wait until the day before.

  5. Great post, I love the car, the botannical garden shot and the people watching shot. Oh shoot (as we say in Oklahoma) I love them all.

    I always enjoy your profile pic. Very creative.

  6. Love your photos - especially the sunshine in your park photo! We took a walk through the park yesterday, but it was COLD! We're hoping to start composting here in New England when the temps warm up and we can start working in the yard.

  12. Great set. My goodness that is a tiny little basket.
    The Park shot is so pretty with the sparkle in the water and I enjoyed the People watching shot as well. We aren't allowed to feed the ducks now at our local park.

    Lovely photos this week, even if they were rushed. What a beautiful classic car. Looks like ACE has a fun little hobby. I would love to stroll through Botanical Gardens, especially this time of year. So much color and beauty!

    Your recycle idea is great! Last year I saved coffee grounds and egg shells to put in my container garden. It was a good theory until J's puppy smelled egg shells and started digging. I take our fruit & vegetable waste to the chickens. I might need to reconsider and start small compost pile. Thanks for the brainstorming idea.

  14. Thanks for stopping by Driller's Place and scrolling through a few posts. Yes, the girl in the track meet in our oldest grand daughter. She won that heat. In a couple of weeks she will compete in the state high school indoor meet. She's a Junior.
    Since I am a sucker for antique and classic cars, the Auto capture really appeals to me. Very nice work.

    After reading your post, I immediately keyed in the prompts into my phone...I always forget when I'm out. :)
