Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With: scavenger hunt sunday

I used to participate in Scavenger Hunt Sunday with Ashley Sisk all the time. Then I got busy and stopped joining in. I have decided I want to get back to taking photos for myself and stretching my creative skills.

Looking Up

DSC_5671 copy

Our dog Dudley looking up at me. I love the details of the snow/water on his face and whiskers. He did enjoy playing in the snow, though he would rather be inside.

Light

DSC_5578 copy

The little light peaking through the leaves were just gorgeous. I could not pass up capturing this photo.

Favorite Mobile Device

DSC_5469 copy

The favorite mobile device in our family is definitely Carsyn’s iPad. It is something he can play with independently and it keeps he very entertained.

Outside

DSC_5536 copy

We have been having a very snowy winter compared to normal. Therefore I have been spending a lot more time outside making sure I capture some photos.

Inside

DSC_6075 copy

Super D and Super T-Bear to the rescue. Dustyn has had to use his imagination a lot more the past few weeks. We have been playing inside a great deal more then usually.

Hope you enjoyed my photos! I am planning to take new photos each week and really stretch my photography. If you want to join click the button below to be taken to Ashley’s blog.

    So glad you joined back in the Scavenger Hunt. It's one of my favorite memes because it does give me a real challenge to the photography skills. I love the shot of light and outside. Of course, they are all great!

    What great photos, I like them all. I should do this, I got a dslr in October and a 50mm 1.4 lens for Christmas and I have yet to get out there and snap, I have a lot to learn just to figure out how to work the darn thing.
    • Sarah says

      February 15, 2014 at 1:44 pm

      Thanks so much! This will help you learn for sure. I also love the book Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
