scavenger hunt

this afternoon i left school with nothing in my hands but my keys and my purse.  i didn't bring home any papers to grade or anything related to school.  i just didn't want to work on any of that stuff.  i wanted to play!  and i wanted to be creative!

so i created a list of ten things to photograph, and the varmints and i went on a photo scavenger hunt.  fun!  these are the items were hunting:  an insect, a flower, a frog, something red, a cloud, a footprint, something broken, a rock, a tree, and something that makes you smile.  

colby was all about this hunt!  it took spencer a while to get into the spirit of things.  he asked if the best picture could be my photo of the day, and i said sure!  daryl looked at all the pictures on all 3 cameras and chose his favorite from each camera.  then he chose his favorite pictures out of the 3. it's funny...out of the 3 finalists, i would have picked a different winner! (and no, it wasn't my picture!)

these ugly teeth were out in the middle of the field between 2 ponds!  i'm not kidding!  i didn't place them there so i could get a weird, or as daryl put it...disturbing, picture!  i was looking across the pond trying to find a frog, i turned around and there they were!!!  how funny is that?

quote of the day:  "As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs." ~Sam Abell
