Welcome back to Scavenger Hunt Sunday and Happy 4th of July. We’ve had a busy week of playing and vacationing. Right now, we’re on our way back from a long weekend at the lake. We had such a great time, but it’s always nice to go home. Anyways, if you didn’t participate this week in my scavenger hunt, but want to participate next week…next week’s list is an Ashley original. Enjoy!

The rules are simple:

• Anyone can participate.
• You’re encouraged to take five new photos this week for the challenge. Creativity is also encouraged!
• 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.
• 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
• Have fun!
 

Without further discussion…here are my interpretations this week:

1. Red

The other day, we were picking a few things up from Walmart. Felicity spotted “Minnie Mouse” off in the distance and wouldn’t stop saying “MinMow” until this little outfit was in our cart. I’m not really a fan of character outfits, but man…it makes this little girl happy.

2. White

On Tuesday, I drove to Tarboro to photograph my friend’s new dental practice. Dr. Gray Bailey, D.M.D., P.A. of Tarboro Family Dentistry is now open for business. This particular room is nice and WHITE…and his staff is so friendly, you’ll forget you’re having your teeth cleaned. I’m hoping to post a few more photos from my visit later in the week.

3. Blue

On Wednesday, we met up with Michelle and Maddie to take some “4th of July” photos. Felicity was much more interest in playing, but we did manage to work a few shots out of her. I love this one.

4. Play

The past few days, we’ve played HARD. On Friday, the resort we’ve been staying at hosted all these activities for families to enjoy. She wasn’t too thrilled to be on the big bouncy houses, but Felicity’s daddy took her down one time. Then we played at the playground…and then played at the pool. I’m actually writing today’s scavenger hunt as they are back at the pool. Good times.

5. Sparkle

Fireworks are incredibly hard for me to photograph. I’ve been trying for years to get it right. This year, I came armed with my tripod, remote and this tutorial on how to photograph fireworks. The fireworks were coming so fast and so many at a time, that most of my shots look like a ball of goo…but this one is alright. It sparkles.

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). If you didn’t participate this week, but want to participate next week, here’s your list:

• 1. Sunglasses
• 2. Summer
• 3. Outside
• 4. Green
• 5. Healing

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!
