Welcome back to Scavenger Hunt Sunday and Happy Mother’s Day! I will be enjoying my very first mother’s day with my little family of three…and I hope that each of you will be doing something equally fun. I also still have a lot of editing ahead of me. I always knew that May would be a busy month for me but WOW. Anyways, if this is your first time joining us, welcome aboard. If you’ve been a part of the hunt before, I hope this week’s list inspired you. Next week’s list is sponsored by Susan of Happy No Ears.

The rules are simple:

1. Anyone can participate.
2. You’re encouraged to take five new photos this week for the challenge. Creativity is also encouraged!
3. 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).
4. Link up here on Sunday (or Tuesday at the latest) – you can use the button above.
5. Leave comments for at least five entries around yours (with so many new participants each week, it’s the only way I know to be inclusive
6. Have fun!
 

Without further discussion…here are my interpretations this week:

1. Perspective

I did a Google search for “perspective” and saw a number of images that looked very similar to the one I’m using today. This is a photo of my pregnant friend, Kellie, during our maternity shoot last weekend. Isn’t she beautiful? I do love this perspective…and the leading lines.

2. Golden

I rarely get out during the golden hour anymore…and that’s all I can think of when I hear “golden.” So, I edited a recent photo of Felicity to look as if it might have been taken during the golden hour.

3. Bloom

Our perennials are just starting to bloom in our front yard. This particular one was covered in ants when I first walked over to photograph it. I can’t wait to see it in full bloom.

4. Dark

First of all, I have no idea what I was thinking when I added in the side panels to this image. With that said, this is the night light we keep in our room so that if we have to wake up to tend to Felicity…we don’t trip over anything. Unfortunately, I have to unplug it every morning because of one very curious 10 month old.

5. Local

When I got pregnant last year with Felicity, I joined a message board for women expecting in August 2012. That group of women are still connected and one of them lives about 2 miles away from me. We got together recently so I could photograph her son on his nine month old birthday. He got rather tickled with himself at one point during the session. Let’s pretend that I asked him, “how much do you love your mommy?” And he responded “this…much!” You’ll see more of this little guy on Friday.

So, what were your interpretations of the items this week? Be sure to load your pictures on your blog (or your Flickr photostream) and link up at the bottom of this post. Feel free to grab a button to display on your blog along with your scavenger hunt items. The linky will be open until Tuesday night at midnight (EST).

Thanks again Susan for the great Scavenger Hunt prompts. If you’d like to contribute items to the list, just send me an email with your suggestions (I can better keep track of them this way). Each week, I will select one reader’s prompt list and give the selected reader a shout out on my blog during Scavenger Hunt Sunday.

Happy Shooting!
