Rinda's Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt Round Up

 

Wow! That title was a bit of a mouthful, but it says what needs saying. Yes, it is the end of summer and so today is the day to share all the photos I managed to find from Rinda's list. I thoroughly enjoyed taking part this year. I have been a watcher the previous two years, always wishing towards the end that I had joined in and I am so happy to have been part of this great party this year!

So, what did I manage to get? Well, I have been posting all my finds over on my Scavenger Hunt page (link above), but I thought I would do another post here with them all on. I managed to find all 21 items and one of the reserves, so I am mightily pleased! On my other page I do have multiples of some items, so below you will see which ones I have actually chosen!

Bonus/substitute items. If you find any of the above items too difficult, feel free to substitute either (or both) of these items. You can substitute up to two items, but you cannot substitute Item #21:
A person wearing an outfit (or item of clothing) that symbolizes your country - did not get this :(
A sundial

Half a sundial at a temple in Pompeii

What I really like is that they tell the story of my summer. The trips out with Penny, having Ben home for a short while, a holiday with Hugh, walks with Hugh and Penny and a couple of trips by myself just to get items on the list.

So, what am I going to do with these photos? Well, I am going to make a mini album with them and document about each photo - where it was taken and why it was a special part of summer. I will make it over the course of the next couple of months when I go to my Tuesday scrapbooking with Wendy and Sue as something small to work on is usually better than a 12x12 as we don't always have a lot of space to work on! Well, there is quite a bit of space, but not loads for three of us to spread out widely as I do when I scrapbook!

So, here ends summer! Thank you so much Rinda for organising this. I do hope that you do it again next year, as I for one will be joining in again! Please hop on over to Rinda's blog to see what everyone else has managed to find this year.
