Scavenger Hunt Sunday!

Another Sunday, time for the Scavenger Hunt!

1. Classic Still Life

I'm guessing classic still life was meant to be something more along the lines of a fruit bowl or vase of flowers, lol but I ran out of time so you get this instead :D My friend asked me to get a nice picture of her two boys 'special' toys, the ones they take everywhere with them, so that she'll always have a little reminder of them incase they become a little too well loved ;)

2. Self Portrait

Ugh I hate self portraits, lol. I took this while on holidays at a butterfly house...I was aiming for the butterfly on my shoulder but got half my face instead! I kinda like it but think I should start wearing makeup :P


3. On The Floor

Another from our holiday, we had a huge spa bath in our room which the kids decided to take advantage of every night! Somebody went a little overboard when squirting the bubble bath in and as a result the bubbles spilled over onto the floor!
I won't tell you about the nice little "gift" William left in there on the last night for me to scoop out...oh wait I just did ;D

4. Lines


We've had a beautiful sunset every night this week. So when I decided to go outside and take a picture of the power lines for the scavenger hunt, of course there were great big rain clouds sweeping in :/ 

5. Fresh

There are no words for how fresh and zesty this lime shower gel is. It.smells.SO.GOOD!
I love it :D





And some exciting news (well, exciting to me haha!) my muddy puddle photos of Charlotte won the 'Outdoors' Challenge for Perceptive Perspective, yay!




AND

one of my coloured pencil shots made the Top 10 for this months 'I Clicked It Up A Notch' challenge!
If you'd like to vote for me just click on Photography by Michelle in the poll HERE :)




Thank you!

    OK those are seriously good pictures in your muddle puddle storyboard - I just love them .........she sure had some fun.

    Congratulations on making it to the top 10 for your pencil shot too.

    Who needs make-up when you have beautiful skin? Really, you look wonderful without make-up!

    Those muddy shots were wayyyyy good --congrats!

    William looks absolutely adorable in that shot. :)

    These are all outstanding! I love your selfie.... so cool with the butterfly and only half of your face. I cracked up at the bubble shot. My boys need close supervision when adding bubbles to the tub. They tend to get a little heavy handed. And congrats on the photo winnings. I adore those mud shots ;D The one with her poring mud out of her boot - whahahahah!

    Your on the floor shot is so great - and I like your selfie. I would never have known that you weren't wearing makeup. You look beautiful.

    I love all of your photos, they are always so well composed and put together. Those mud puddle ones too cute I would definitely hang those up in a collage frame.

    I love your entries. I also had a different interpretation for classic still life, but hey, it is your own view, right?
    The bubbles shot is just too much, soooo cute.

    Such a CUTE still life! Love the on he floor and while I'm sure a whole picture of you would also be lovely, I do have a fondness for butterflies! Terrific set! (and I'm not surprised you won the outdoor challenge you mentioned--those are fantastic, fun shots!)
