Scavenger Hunt Sunday - The June 3, 2012 Edition

Oh goody, goody another Scavenger Hunt.  Yesterday  was dress rehearsal for my daughter's (who owns a dance studio) spring dance recital.  I have always taken my camera to the "real" performance, but this year I decided to try taking pictures at the dress rehearsal instead.  Let's see...how many years did it take me to figure this out that if I took my camera to dress rehearsal I can move about, walk real close to the stage, get much better shots and now enjoy the real performance without a camera stuck on my face the whole show.  Sometimes I surprise myself with my "ta-da" moments.  Anyway, this week the images for this week's challenges all come from the dress rehearsal and they are:
  • Shine
  • Fast
  • Left
  • Peace
  • Plain
So here we go...shine, there was so much shine going on today it was hard to choose, but I settled on this one...the shiny tap shoes and that shiny floor causing many a wee one to slip and slide


Fast....there were many a fast dance happening


Lisa has an adult dance class where she always tests their stamina....don't they look like they are having a great time?



Left....Look at this little cutie with her left arm up and her tongue out...she is having one great time.


Peace....Nuns are peaceful, right? (except when they are my granddaughter.  Casting her as Mother Superior is almost laughable)  See her encore at the finale of the show, that is more like my Bailey.


These are fake beer mugs, Bailey thought it would be appropriate for her since clearly she is not a NUN...it got a big laugh.


And finally plain...well there is usually not much that is plain when it comes to a dance recital, but this one was based on "The Sound of Music" so alot of costumes were not flashy but rather plain.


I took over 1,000 pictures that I will be looking at for days to come.  Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.  Be sure and check for more of these challenges at Ashley's Scavenger Hunt Sunday.



Until next time....
