Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Whimsy

I love a touch of whimsy!

Create

This cute pup was created by a lab and a beagle. 

Dust

"Eat my dust!"

Sprout

A sprout is a sign of beautiful things to come.

Drop(s)

If you look closely you may be able to decipher what the reflection in the drops actually is.

Have a fantastic week ya'll!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I really love Ashley’s SHS. I look forward to it all week! Here are my interpretations for the week.

Glimpse

This is a glimpse of the beauty of Virginia Hylton park. We have loved this park from the day we moved to SC over seven years ago. It’s a park that has grown with us. It served us well when the boys were just toddlers and offers great exploration opportunities for the boys now.

Crossed

This is the little creek at the afore mentioned park. The fun used to be the play structures; now the fun is seeing who can cross the creek without touching the water.

Handwritten

This is handwritten in the fact that it is writing and it’s made by hand. For the complete word string art tutorial, see this Project Pinterest post.

Bliss

A few nights ago the four of us were getting pretty antsy at home. We decided to head to Gibson Pond Park to watch the sunset and play a bit. We all sat on a swinging bench to absorb all of God’s beauty around us. It was truly bliss!

Gray

Yet another beautiful sight at Gibson Pond Park!

Have a great week everyone!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday–Pictures, Poems, and Thoughts on the Nativity Scene

I just counted and this will be my 35th Scavenger Hunt Sunday!

Less is more

Sometimes the most simple things are the most amazing. After having my dslr for a year, I finally bought myself a new lens! I’m thrilled with its capabilities and am so exited that I finally went ahead and bought the darn thing so I can capture God’s simple wonders, like the moon.

 

Christmas lights

 

Ornaments

 

Nativity

We have multiple nativity sets at our house. Unfortunately, our dog has a craving for Jesus because he has eaten all of the Jesus’ figures from our various sets. I even tried to mix and match sets to have a full nativity scene, but in everyone, Jesus was missing. That holy dog!

Even though I don’t have an actual nativity scene shot, what I do have is very special. Have you ever noticed that the sunsets in December are remarkable? I had to pull off the side of the road to take this shot and the thought crossed my mind that perhaps, this is what Mary and Joseph’s trek looked like as they were walking to Bethlehem in preparation for the birth of the Savior, Jesus Christ. It’s so comforting to know that this could’ve been a very similar backdrop over 2000 years ago; how things are so very different, yet still so the same. Profound!

 

Cup of Cheer

***Please read my cinquain about my Cup of Cheer.***

No cup,

No shot of cheer,

No cup of cheer for me.

I can not find a cup of cheer.

No cheer.

  Have a wonderful week!   Sarah :)

Scavenger Hunt Sunday – November 27, 2011

Waiting

We have been waiting and waiting for Ruckus to resurface. We knew it wasn’t lost, lost, just lost. The boys and Kurt cleaned out the garage and found Ruckus in our “donate” pile. What a tragedy that would have been; this is seriously one of the most fun games ever! You don’t have to take turns and you just grab, grab, grab!

 

Foliage

 

Candid

 

Fork

This looks like an ordinary fork, doesn't it? Look closer. This fork was a wedding present. We got married in 1999. This fork has lived in three homes. This fork has been used literally thousands of times.

 

Rule of Thirds

Don’t forget to join Katie Lloyd and me for Project Pinterest every Thursday!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday–Saluda River Edition

Mainly One Color

I nearly always have my camera with me. I was thankful the other night when it down poured and I had my camera with me to get night with rain shots.

Around the Home

Around our home this week has been filled with all things ankylosing spondylitis. Sometimes the treatments are as bad as the disease itself, but unfortunately it’s essential to take the meds. This past month I’ve been plagued by stomach pain. Turns out I have a bleeding ulcer from years of NSAID for the inflammation and H. Pylori bacteria (that most people do have) in the stomach that turned infectious due to my lowered immunity from the Humira. Ugh! It’s hard to not get down about me health and lack of control over it, so I continually give it to God and know that He has plans to prosper me and not harm me and plans for my future.

Oh, and I knew about that white dog hair on the bracelet. My dog, God love him, sheds like a crazy and his fur is everywhere.

Water

Remember when these were all the rage in the blogosphere? This one features the Saluda River.

Reflection

Another Saluda River shot.

Words

See where it says “water”. Yeah, I could’ve used this shot for water too.

  Have a great week!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday and Watermarking Photos

After reading several posts about the importance of watermarking photos, I have decided to start doing it. I was hesitant because I did not want to appear like I think my shots are the bomb and therefore watermark them because people were just dying to get their hands on them. Now, however, I see it a little differently. I don’t want to be like the family who saw themselves in an Ikea ad and they had no idea that their picture was being used by anyone, much less a major company.

Little Features

What pair of shoes should I wear?

Custom bokeh

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Happy Sunday ya’ll!

Purple

Have I ever mentioned that purple is my favorite color? It is!

Food

Ryan’s favorite candy is Almond Joy. I don’t know how I birthed this child that loves coconut.

***Please don’t be too grossed out by his dirty fingernails. He is an 8-year-old boy and as much as I try to keep up with this, there was no way he was going to let me help him clean out his fingernails before he tore into his Halloween candy.***

Shapes

I made this from paint samples and it’s on my mantle. I love it!

Photographer’s Choice

Although I prefer Diet Mt. Dew to Coca-Cola any day, an old Diet Mt. Dew sign just doesn’t compare in coolness to a Coca-Cola sign.

In Disguise

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s SuperDog!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday and Project Pinterest Reminder

 

Let’s be honest, all of my shots this week are kind of weird. Weird in just, well, a weird way.

I can’t explain it, so I’ll just get on with it and show you my shots.

Macro

Any guess on what this is a macro shot of?

 

Found Texture

Again, any guess what this found texture is?

 

Home

What kind of soil do you have? We have red clay and it drives me nuts because it is EVERYWHERE!

 

Cover

Most are red. Some are blue. It’s comforting to know we have a fire hydrant in our side yard.

 

Tree

We have one tree. :( When we saw this lot we like it because it was all trees. We assumed they’d keep at least some of the trees, but we assumed wrong.

Project Pinterest, hosted by Katie and me, will start this week!
