Scavenger Hunt Sunday - The July 22, 2012 Edition

Here we go again with another Sunday full of challenges for Ashley Sisk's Scavenger Hunt Sunday.  I went to the country again yesterday and managed to capture all of the prompts while there.  Ofcourse, did I take the prompts with me?? NO, but somehow I was able to fulfill all the challenges with just a little teeny stretch.  This week the challenges are:
  • Wrapped
  • Time together
  • Tell Me A Story
  • Love or Couple
  • Duplicated
WRAPPED....This field was wrapped in blues and whites, the colors of the wildflowers blooming profusely in the fields.  Linking this up to  Rebecca's "The Simple Things"




TIME TOGETHER....The cows were enjoying themselves as together they luxuriated  in the coolness of the stream.  The lone one was headed their way to join them as soon as he ate his last bitefull of grass.  


TELL ME A STORY....hmmm "Once upon a time, Mrs. Jones having saved sunflowers seeds from the summer before, decided to throw them into the garden to see what would happen.  And lo and behold, beautiful, golden sunflowers delighted all who passed by."  (OK that was your story, are you happy?)


LOVE OR COUPLE...Here is a couple of couples...love birds or doves that always pair up and become a couple.


DUPLICATION....There is a continuous duplication of fences throughout the countryside, most being a combination of wire and wood.


But I want to show you one more fence that was a real shock and I mean that literally.  We had stopped to take pictures of an old barn and I noticed this fence that looked so "industrial" which is a little out of the norm for the countryside.  And just as I made that comment to Catherine my arm brushed the fence and pow did I get a shock, yowza...the fence was industrial & wired with electricity.   I almost, just almost peed in my pants (had to go anyway and this almost did it)  It's a good thing neither one of us grabbed it or ?? 


So that is it for another fun, fun week at Ashley's Scavenger Hunt Sunday.  Stop over and see what other's are showing.  

Adding one last shot for Nancy's "My Sunday Best" loved the look of all this clover blooming along the roadside








Until next time....

  1. Great shots for the hunt. My sister and I were visiting a local farm and she too accidentally got too close to the 'wired' fence and the current jumped to her arm - she got a little pinch and stepped away quickly.

    PS - love the sunflower story, thank you!

  3. Great shots Deanna you got all the prompts so well! Ouch getting shocked by the fence. We have always had them at the farm. I've had my share of shocks. Thank goodness we don't need them for the alpacas, but my parents have had them around their gardens to successfully keep the critters out. As kids we used to hold hands with all our friends and make a long line (yes we were stupid) and then the first person would touch the fence and we would see how many people got shocked at once. Oh the fun of living on the farm.

  9. Great shots as always Deanna! I accidently backed into one of those electrical fences and it shocked the heck out of me. I paid more attention after that. Your last shot is gorgeous. Love the depth of field on it.

  10. That would be a shocker...ouch! Great photos as always...the last one with a glimpse of the road through the clover is my favorite.

  12. Love this photo of the clover along the roadside. It is just gorgeous, and perfect depth of field. Yes you do have to look out for those "industrial fences". Made me laugh when I read this. I was with a group of people one day at a horse farm, and there was an electical fence. I turned around to warn everyone it was there, and when i turned back around, ran right into it with my nose. I can definitely appreciate what nearly happened to you. The good new is that it usually happens only one time! Glad to see you on my google friends and will look forward to seeing you there!

  13. Oh my goodness these are just delightful.
    The Wrapped photo is so pretty - It reminds me of an Impressionist Painting.
    Loved your Sunflower and the "story" about it!
    Couple - This I think is my favorite of your set. There is just something about it that is so appealing.
    Great shots of the fences and "Ouch" on that shock. The lengths we go for to get a good shot!

  14. All really great shots, Deanna . . . wrapped and duplicated are my faves.

  15. I remember as a kid growing up in the country we would "double dare" each other to touch the electric fence & see who could hold it the longest. Duh...I know better now.
    Don't you just love Sunflower Fields?
    Wonderful set this week!

  24. You always have some creative posts for the scavenger hunt. The last shot is really a standout for me with that beautiful blur. Reminds me of a Georgianna Lane photo.

    My uncle put an electronic fence around his garden to keep the deer from eating everything. He always reminds me 2 or 3 times not to touch it. But I really think there should be a sign or warning of some kind. Sorry you got shocked.

  25. Perfect photos for the prompts this week, which I think were widely interpreted by all, and fun none the less! I really enjoyed the ride in the countryside with you - those cows in the water - and that last one with the purple flowers ( hard to tell if they are clover or something else? ) are my fav's.

  26. I got a kick out of your cow shots! and that electric fence - really - is that necessary? ouch!

  27. Your scavenger hunt photos are priceless! My fave is the duplication - birds together in two places! Looks like you had fun in the country, which is such a wonderful place to be. Have a lovely week.
