Scavenger Hunt Sunday - The November 6th Edition

Oh good grief, the days are flying by, just like the leaves are flying off of the big maple tree in the front yard.  I didn't join last week, it flew by me.  But this week, I am ready teddy (now who thought that up, maybe Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders, he seemed to always be ready)  Oh there I go again, digressing from the subject at hand...the hunt.  This week our hunt included FOOD, PURPLE, IN DISGUISE, SHAPES AND PHOTOGRAPHER'S CHOICE.  


FOOD - You know what they say...."an apple a day..."



PURPLE - Fall cleaning in the yard yesterday I came upon this beauty.  A single impatient hanging on after several frosts, just begging for some attention. 



IN DISGUISE - This is my sweet neighbor, Kellie, trying desperately to disguise herself as a Vampire for Halloween, but I saw right thru those fangs. 



SHAPES - Love the shape of this vase and the shape of leaves



PHOTOGRAPHER'S CHOICE - Currently I am taking a class from Tracey Clark, the founder of "The Shutter Sisters" entitled "The Art of Composition".  This week our focus is on b&w.  These leaves are a beautiful shade of orange, but in coverting this to b&w they took on a whole different look.  I don't normally convert many of my pics to b&w, but Tracey is helping us to realize that even without color there is beauty.

So there you have it, another Sunday, another Scavenger Hunt.  Hop on over to Ashley's place for more great finds.....


Until next time......

  3. Wow Deanna, all of these are just stunning! I love the textures on your first two, and I quite fancy the b&w -I think black and white allows you to see what you would otherwise miss if it were in color and can be more thought provoking.

  15. Tracy's class sounds really interesting. Is it an on-line class or in person. Amazing how the black and white conversion really had an interesting impact on the photo.
