It was a fun week to capture these photos, I actually had to write them down my brain was going a million miles a minute! Hop on over to Ashley's Blog to check out her great photos and many more! If you like this, hook up next week and try it out!

The rules are simple:

1. Anyone can participate.
2. You're encouraged to take five new photos this week for the challenge.
3. If you get stumped, you may use one photo from your archive (although I'm not too strict about it - I do my best to take fresh shots).
4. Link up here on Sunday (or Tuesday at the latest) - you can use the button above.
5. Have fun!

Now for my interpretation of the items this week:

1. DREAM. I was driving around last night, came around the corner and saw this sunset...looks like it was out of a dream!

2. CLEAN. I love it when my house is dusted...then I get clean looking surfaces:-)

3. CURRENCY. Here is some left over money from our trip to Antigua...wish I still knew how much it was worth in Dollars. (added the painting in the background from there also)

4. PAIR. My pair of boys

5. SQUARES. My rug!

Here is next weeks list:

1. Miniature
2. Water Droplet
3. Bedhead
4. Colorful
5. Eyes

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

This week was hard to get the photos done! I had a bunch in archive that I wanted to share, but I only did that for one shot.

Hop on over to Ashley's blog to enjoy many more great photos. Any one please feel free to join in next week. You don't have to be a professional photographer to do it! I am surely not! It is fun to try and be creative for once:-) Here are my ideas for this week:

LANDSCAPE: This was the only one from archive, again I LOVE it and it is also from Big Meadows, VA.

POWERLINES: I really, really wanted to climb up to the top to get a creative angle, but that wasn't going to happen safely:-) There are so many powerlines near our house (even though ours doesn't use one directly) and they are constantly getting broken by the trees around it!

NEWSPAPER: I actually had this newspaper lying around because it was the one delivered the day my hubby left for deployment AND the front page article was about his exact job! (see the picture)

POSE: I had to look back on the pictures taken this week, and found this great one of Logan at the playground. Silly man poses for everything:-)

HOBBY: I have this crazy hobby of trying DIY projects. Some turn out real cheesy and others pretty good. I am not this creative, but saw it in a magazine so I copied it! Pretty easy! I will post a blog about how to make it. Here is my fall wreath.

Here are next weeks line up:

1. Wish/Dream
2. Clean
3. Currency
4. Pair
5. Square

Have a great Sunday everyone!

Sunday's Scavenger Hunt:-)

Had another fun week doing a scavenger hunt! Hop on over to Ramblings and Photos to check out more pics!

The rules are simple:

1. Anyone can participate.
2. You're encouraged to take five new photos this week for the challenge.
3. If you get stumped, you may use one photo from your archive (although I'm not too strict about it - I do my best to take fresh shots).
4. Link up here on Sunday (or Monday at the latest) - you can use the new button.
5. Have fun!

Now for my interpretation of the items this week:

1. BOKEH. I saw this word and had NO idea what it was...after some researching and having some fun with the hubs this is what we came up with! I think the reason why my subject is so dark is due to the aperture. I don't have a macro or prime lens, so this is the best I got with a 5.6F. I made my own filter to put over the camera to make the cross shapes.

2. BUSINESS. (this store is closed...ha!)

3. REPETITION. All I could think of is when you look into a mirror and see a repeating image.

4. MUSIC. I don't have any instruments in our house at this time in our lives (someday I WILL bring a piano back in:-)) but the Psalms are music to my ears. I love to read them and sing them:-)

5. ECO FRIENDLY. It was our first year with a garden! We are growing Red Bell Peppers, Green Beans, and tried pumpkins. Our Bell Pepper plant is awesome right now! We have about 12 or more peppers growing at this moment!
I will tell you the taste of this pepper was unlike any other! Can't wait to share some more!
Join us next week with these ideas. It's not hard...just lots of fun!

1. Red (also your POTW theme)
2. Homespace
3. Fence
4. Rock
5. Sharp

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I had fun thinking about the pictures for this week...had some great ideas and help with the photos! Check them out!

1. LEADING LINES. My husband helped me get creative in where the lines point to...my belly!

2. COMFORTABLE. Newly bought pillows that actually ended up being awesome!
3. FEET
4. SIGHT. I love how you can see his eyes through the binoculars.
5. SWEET. two things that are sweet...my little man and the ice cream that is melting all over him!

Thank you for checking out my interpretations! Please join in with us and link up at Ramblings and Photos for some fun! She is also a fun photographer to follow:-) Next weeks ideas are:

1. Bokeh (also your POTW theme)
2. Business (August 2010 Photo Hunt item)
3. Eco-Friendly (August 2010 Photo Hunt item)
4. Repetition (August 2010 Photo Hunt Item)
5. Music

Scavenger Hunt Sunday (or Monday in my case)

I have found some other amazing photography blogs that I just love to stare at and enjoy their creativity. One fun thing they did yesterday was this Scavenger Hunt for different photos. I decided I will join in because as I have enjoyed photography more I feel like I see the world through an "angled" lens (meaning I see different ways to take pictures around me). Hope you find it fun too!

To play along, visit Ashley's blog, Ramblings and Photos to see other Sunday Scavenger Hunts photo interpretations.

This weeks hunt:

• Mood
• Something Feminine
• Something Masculine
• Architecture
• First of Last Initial

Here are my interpretations:

MOOD: Here is our dog Otis waiting by, and enjoying, the new storm door we just put in. I can only imagine his mood:-)

SOMETHING MASCULINE: Here are my hubby's uniforms. The boots are nice and clean; getting ready for the upcoming deployment. I love to see the patches on his blouse which remind me of all that he has accomplished and our history as a military family.

SOMETHING FEMININE: I found this at my beloved store, TJ Maxx. I love how elegant and creamy it is. I couldn't believe that I found a place to put it! Here it hangs my jewelry.

FIRST or LAST INITIAL: I realized after trying to find my first or last initial that I didn't have any Monograms around the house! So I just found a large letter "E". I love this decoration because I made it from scratch! (no I did not cut out the letters...but basically everything else!)

ARCHITECTURE: Since I found this Scavenger Hunt yesterday, I didn't have time to find a neat building. This shot was taken this summer at a local plantation/historical home in Norfolk. It was a gorgeous building and had many creative angles!
