Photo Board Assignment: Summer Scavenger Hunt, June-September, 2012

[Pea-n-Me]

Hi am I too late to join?

No, hop in anytime!!

 

[2Tiggies]

No, hop in anytime!!

Thank you so much I'm not a great photographer (yet, she says hopefully) but this looks like such a lovely way to force myself to get out and learn. I will be back with my pics

 

[2Tiggies]

Typical me, starting with Z but I only have a few that are very recent

Zigzag

I think I need to resize these!!

Category stretching.....because I'm never going to find one of these wandering about in Oz.




Wild Turkey - Chilled. And check out the Century!

Great minds think alike Princess! I had asked around to see if any of my friends had some of this so I could use it for my picture. The odds of me catching a real wild turkey seem to be small, and I thought this was a great way to stretch the category. I love the other two categories you thought of to go with the picture! Very jealous!

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Love the maritime photos! Great getting out there!

Princess, DD and I were LOL at your photos, especially the Navajo and the Wild Turkey.

Great minds indeed! Still plenty of room for the same category stretch on this thread; afterall, the item is Wild Turkey.

If I didn't know better......I might be .




But I *think* I know what you mean......Glad you appreciated the humour.

Aways amazed at some of the things you come up with - in a good way!

I got my own Navojo this week, too.

If it's any consolation...when I saw "Wild Turkey" I did not even think of the animal and was trying to figure out if the liquor store was going to let me take pictures inside

For other stuff, I really gotta get out shooting. Work's been hectic and we've had thuderstorms and rain pretty much every evening after work lately (we got roughly 15 inches (38.1 cm for Princess) of rain over this weekend too...)

Sounds like the real category stretcher so far is dcg0317. He's the only one with the "wild turkey" taken NOT from the bottle.


Hope you stay dry. That is a whole lotta rain.....but...was there any lightning???

Category Stretch for this week! How many can I combine?


What Is it?
The Symphony of Lights, Hong Kong is a 15 minute show with lights set in Harmony to music. You could say it was high Rise and Shine, with the I-Beams creating an Illumination of the sky, with some of the buildings "Light(e)ning up in a Zigzag pattern, and the Tall Ships creating Light Trails across the Harbour.

 

[PrincessInOz]

What is this a statue of?

Simpson and his Pony. He was a private and he and his pony took wounded soldiers out of the killing fields and brought water to them. He was killed whilst crossing a field. I've got the details of the plaque, so I'll post that here (as soon as I get it loaded).

Here's some from a local town celebration today. I'm a little mad at myself- I forgot snow cone was on the list, and I ate mine before taking a picture, so I missed that one.

Wild turkey (Well, he can be wild, and he is kind of a turkey... so we'll call that one a stretch!)
