Am I the only one that is completely over winter? It’s really interfering with my creativity mojo. That…and I allowed myself to get even further behind on my blogging. HOWEVER, I have been busy completing my “wedding reception” processing this week, so a blogging break was needed. I do think the prompts this week were slightly less intimidating. What do you think? Either way, if you’ve been participating in the Scavenger Hunt each week, I hope this week’s items inspired you. If you’re new to the Scavenger Hunt…WELCOME! Next week’s items are sponsored by Paper Heart Camera and the ACoLab.
1. Texture
- Anyone can participate.
- You’re encouraged to take five new photos this week for the challenge.
- If you get stumped, you may use one photo from your archive (although I’m not too strict about it – I do my best to take fresh shots).
- Link up here on Sunday (or Tuesday at the latest) – you can use the button above.
- Have fun!
Without further discussion…here are my interpretations this week:
1. Texture
In an effort to pull myself out of this winter slump, I’ve been going through some of the photos I took last summer…some of which still are in RAW format. For example, I never processed the above photo. So, this week I decided to give it the “textured” treatment. Considering that “texture” was this week’s Scavenger Hunt Sunday and Mortal Muses’ prompt, I ended up having a lot of fun using texture. Be sure to come over and visit me while I’m musing on Tuesday.
2. Fog
2. Fog
Just in case you’re wondering, fog could have been a challenge this week. However, knowing that the chances of capturing a beautiful foggy landscape would be nearly impossible…I decided to get creative. Granted, it is very difficult to capture your own hand in the shower (and not nearly as cute as a little one in the shower), but I think it looks pretty cool. By the way, Kat has opened “Exploring with a Camera: Fog” if you want to link up and/or read more about shooting fog.
My friend, Candace, has an etsy shop called Blue Chair. She makes the most beautiful flower pins (among other cute, crafty things) and sent me a few of her designs about a month ago. I have really been enjoying wearing them…so much so, that Candace and I are teaming up later this week to giveaway some of her newest designs. Stay tuned! In the meantime, I thought I’d share the magnet she sent me. I love this little button!
I wasn’t quite sure what I would photograph for “seventies,” so I am really looking forward to your interpretations on this one. However, Friday afternoon was absolutely beautiful in North Carolina. I thought I would apply Pioneer Woman’s Seventies action to this shot. I love the tones of this image.

Again, thank you to the Paper Heart Camera and the ACoLab for so many great scavenger hunt items. If you’d like to contribute items to the list, just leave me a comment or send me an email with your suggestions. Each week, I will select one reader’s prompt list, add those items to what is currently on tap and give the selected reader a shout out on my blog during Scavenger Hunt Sunday.
Don’t forget to come back tomorrow for Shoot and Edit: Part 1, Week 4. The prompt/theme is “red.” Happy Shooting!
