Scavenger Hunt Sunday

On the hunt with Ashley again!

It's hard to believe January has passed and February is in full swing.  As I get older I think time is starting to move quicker...is that even possible?

I am loving participating in SHS and this week was no different.  I love being forced to think outside of the box and find new things to capture.  In fact, this week I was driving by a building and thought, I can't wait until there is a prompt that I use that for.  (Little did I know this was the week!!!!)  

1.  STRIKE A POSE

 You might remember this guy from last week's smile pose.  I actually took many pictures this week that I could use for strike a pose however, this one makes me smile every time I look at it so he won. 

 2.  FOOTWEAR

It's a what?

It's a shoe house....yes it's an actual house!  This house has quite the history behind it.  I grew up a few miles up the road from this unique building but I have never had the privilege of stepping inside.  Today you can stop in for some hand dipped Hershey's Ice Cream on the weekends or tour the old shoe. You may have seen this footwear on The Amazing Race a few years ago.  It has also been featured in many articles and television shows.  If you are ever in the area, be sure to stop by and check it out!  
(There is even a shoe shaped dog house out back...)

3.  HOBBY

 This was a hard one for me because I have many things I like to do.  However, there are two things that I would consider hobbies...photography and knitting.  Last week, I took a day off from work and hooked up with a friend and we spent the day taking pictures.  It was one of the best days of 2012!  While we were out and about we stumbled upon a yarn store.  This store had tons of cubbies filled with colorful yarn.  I just wanted to keep taking pictures of it!  I almost used this picture last week for artificial because of all the "artificial" colors of yarn. 

4.  SHINY

 I met up with some friends at Cracker Barrel last Sunday after church.  While we were waiting for our table we nosed around the General Store.  I love looking around in the store you never know what you are going to find!  I happened to look up and see tons of antiques hanging from the ceiling.  I did not have my camera with me so I turned to my friend and suggested she take some pictures of the unique things.  She was afraid she wouldn't be allowed but offered her camera to me.  I just started snapping away and totally forgot about the pictures until this Friday when she asked me if I found my shiny picture yet.  

I learned two things that day...

1.  Never leave home without your camera 

and

2.  If you do leave home without your camera be sure you are with your bestest bud who never leaves home without her camera!

5.  COLOR ME GREEN

 Color me green could mean so many things.  I however, wanted to think outside of the box and find something that was being colored by nature.  I stumbled on this wall while my friend was snapping his shiny picture. 

This used to be a fenced in tennis court complete with lights in someone's backyard.  I can remember driving past here when I was a kid thinking how lucky the people who lived there were because they had their very own tennis court.  Today all that remains of the court is a rusty basketball net.  Even the fence is gone.  

Thanks for stopping by and as always I'd love to hear your comments!

Much love to all,
