Photo Scavenger Hunt

As I have mentioned before I have been looking for any excuse to bring my camera with me anywhere I go.  That way Chris can't role his eyes when I say "I'm bringing my camera" and give me a hard time about it... MUAHAHAHAHA!

Anyway, browsing the blogs I follow I found one.  It's called Sunday Scavenger Hunt from Ashley Sisk's Ramblings and Photos.  Each week you are given 5 ideas to photograph and you photograph them throughout the following week.  This past week was the first week I decided to participate.

(And yes, I do realize the photo challenge is called Sunday Scavenger Hunt and I do know today is Monday not Sunday.  Luckily, you are given to Tuesday night to upload the photos to your blog and link it to Ramblings and Photos.  My excuse is I was out of town;))
1. Glimpse
This was taken while driving to work one morning last week.  A glimpse behind me told me it was going to be a beautiful day. 
2. Bliss
Remember being a child and how happy you were on those warm days when you were free to escape for a few hours before the sun went down in late winter months?  Pure bliss
 3. Gray
Weather in Pittsburgh this year has been strangely mild.  Lately, it has been even a little warmer.  I went out for a photo walk on my lunch break to take advantage of the gorgeous day before having to spend another 3.5 hours in the basement/dungeon office.  I cut through this playground back to work. 
 4. Crossed
This past weekend Chris and I went to Ann Arbor to visit my sister.  We were getting a little stir crazy and decided to take a walk (cough cough) around the University of Michigan campus.  What a beautiful campus.  The vine covered walls of most the buildings are my favorite.  
 5. Handwritten
The 47 images I am in the process of editing from a Senior Portrait Session for a week and a half ago.  

Have you been looking for an excuse to carry your camera around with you?  Isn't this the perfect one?  I have learned so much in the past weeks just experimenting with the different settings on my camera.

  2. Well spotted on your photos for this week's scavenger hunt. I certainly do remember the bliss of see-sawing on the playground - believe they declared them a "safety hazard" and removed them from all the local playgrounds. Bummers!

    1. Thank you so much, Nancy! When I'm in a funk spending time at a play ground (abandoned or not) can really lift my mood thinking of all the great times I had as a child.

    1. Thank you for back tracking a little and taking a look at this post and commenting! Driving to work in the morning can sometimes be depressing but only until I look behind me and see the sun coming up:)
