June scavenger hunt

Kristi is the host of the Sweetsauer Photo Hunt. This is a monthly scavenger hunt for a select group of items she lists each month. I discovered her blog last month but it was too late to gather all the shots. I could not wait to join all the fun this month.

I am posting this a little early because I have out of state house guest arriving and I know I will be to busy to get on the computer until they leave. I will do my best to check out everyones entries as time permits.

I lucked out and managed to capture most of the needed shots during our trip to visit my brother at his cabin in the Missouri Ozark's two weeks ago.
Enlarge for best detail.

1. A View from Above (looking down)---- Crawdad pulled from Table Rock Lake.


2. A Macro Shot --- Black walnut pod on the ground.



3. Laughter--- My only surviving uncle and his wife laughing at one of my sister's stories.


4. Relaxation--- Chilling on the dock while the kiddies swim


5. A Celebration--- My grandson's thirteenth birthday. He choose where we would have lunch.


6. A Sunset--- Taken from my back deck one day last week.


7. Sun/Lens Flare---through the trees.


8. A Bridge --- Bridge crossing an inlet of Table Rock Lake


9. A Shadow--- the Old Salt on the teeter totter with the nieces


10. A Garden--- Neighbor' s vegetable garden. I should retake this shot because since I took this one it has tripled in size. There is almost no dirt showing for the plants now. Amazing what a couple weeks will do.

15. A Summer Treat--- Ice Cream, what better treat.
