August 2010 Photo Scavenger Hunt

I tried really hard to have the sheet w/ the 20 themes on me at all times, but I always seemed to lose it. I must have printed 4-5 times and I still can't find a copy, I had to cheat off one of my buddies (Ashley and Jenny).

Here are my entries...

Flag

N@-Flag

This flag does not represent me but it represents one of the countries I have had the pleasure to visit. I love the Caribbean lifestyle, carefree and happy.

Comfortable

N@-Comfortable
On our anniversary trip, this was the bed in our resort. It was so comfortable and the best part, no alarm.

Something in Season

N@-InSeason

This is an archive from my July photo walk. Tomatoes and potatoes were and still are in season.

Feet

N@-feet

We put up our feet and relaxed watching the waves from our lawn chairs.

Repetition

N@-Repetition

I was looking for something to photograph when I came across these 4 leaves. I loved the lines and the symmetry.

Culture or Ethnicity

N@-Culture

We took a tour of St. Lucia and we were served real St. Lucian cuisine. I think you don't know the country or the culture unless you eat what the locals eat.

Contrast

N@-contrast

I used this sunset as contrast because I love the light as it hits the water and how the sand and shore are in the shadows.

Indulgence

N@-indulgence

Upon our arrival in St. Lucia, we were greeted with this plate of yummy chocolate covered fruit. True indulgence.

Macro or Close up

N@-CloseUp

This is another shot I took on my walk around the resort. I love how delicate the flower looks against the green background.

Masculine

N@-masculine

This another archive, taken in July at the photowalk. Steel is just masculine. And it also reminds me of the Steelers now that it is almost football season.

Feminine

N@-Feminine
Bathing suits. I was looking for a bathing suit right before the trip. And this day I found one.

Light

N@-Light
The sunsets were amazing in St. Lucia. This is one of my favorites because it is as if the light didn't want to burn out.

Eco-friendly

N@-EcoFriendly

This is our recycle bin. I try to recycle everything that can be recycled. Hubby is not so diligent.

Business

N@-Business

This is Leo about to go on a business trip. It was sad to see him go but he will be home soon.

Arrow

N@-arrow

I was walking around downtown Raleigh looking for arrows. I spotted this left turning arrow and took a picture. When I looked closer I noticed I didn't only get one arrow but 9. Can you find them all.

Something wet

N@-wet

Nicolas and Leo were having a blast at the pool. This is Leo trying to teach Nicolas how to swim.

Something Dry

N@-Dry

I went traveling the state observing the corn crop. It has been a dry summer and the corn was looking dry waiting for rain.

Butterfly

N@-Butterfly

This was also taken during field travel. This beautiful huge butterfly decided to sit pretty and pose for me. It was heaven.

Heart-shaped cloud

N@-HeartCloud

So in the literal sense, doesn't this look like a real human heart with the sun rays as veins? No, then look on the right hand side, there is a half a heart. Still don't see it. Then just imagine it. ;)

Strength

N@-Strength

And lastly, this is a picture of my BFF and her hubby. We finished hiking a small mountain. Here pose is just perfect for this theme.

And that is all folks. I don't think I would have been able to get all these pictures if it weren't for my vacation.

I hope you have enjoyed them. To see more entries go here.

Happy Clicking....

  13. Your photos are gorgeous. I've been trying to improve my photography skills, and I'm insanely jealous of your photos. They are way out of my league.

    Of course, people need to have an "eye" for photography (I don't mean to imply anything less), but how important has the camera choice been?
