Scavenger Hunt Sunday 08.05.12

Time for another Scavenger Hunt!  I wasn't sure I'd make this one, but I scrounged up some photos, even if they are a stretch.  I claim poetic license all the way!  :)
This week's items are Going back in time, Something just for me, Best part of my day, Night & day, and Look up.  And here are my interpretations ...

{going back in time}
going-back-in-time
I went back two years ago and found this photo from August 5, 2010.  Our first Monarch butterfly.  The one that started it all.  That summer we ended up successfully raising 34 Monarch butterflies!  Looking at this photo also reminds me of how much I've learned about photography and editing in the past two years.  Sheesh!

{something just for me}
something-just-for-me
At the lake the other day I was teaching a teenager from our church how to shoot in manual.  (She has the same camera I do.)  We were walking around looking for something other than scantily-clad people (who really shouldn't be) to photograph when this beauty happened by.  I believe God brought him our way just for me.  :)

{best part of my day}
best-part-of-my-day
While we had fun at the lake, probably the best part of my day was showing Alyssa how to shoot in manual.  I love teaching people how to turn that dial from Auto or P to M.  We probably both have this same photo on our cameras.  I'm still waiting for her to turn in her homework.  :)

{night & day}
night-and-day
Or in this case day & night.  :)

{look up}
look-up
Some of our sunflowers are nearly 10 feet tall!  You really have to look up to see them!

Thanks for stopping by!  I really hope to have time to visit blogs this week, but with PTO meetings, doctor visits, and school shopping, plus some fun stuff thrown in there, I may not make it by until later in the week.

Be sure to head over to Ashley's for more great Scavenger Hunt photos and to find out what to look for this week.  Make it a great week!

Beautiful! My favorite is the sunflower. They amaze me....how something so towering can grow from that little seed.

Would you believe that it is only in the past few weeks that I figured out how to shoot in manual mode? I am SO proud of myself and and I am LOVING my new found freedom! It is wonderful.

I love your set this week, especially look up!

I could just sit here & look at these all day. I'm so in awe of what you are capable of pushing your camera to do.
