Scavenger Hunt Sunday - The November 4, 2012 Edition

A two week trip to Palm Springs, CA and Arizona provided me with plenty of images to pick from for this weeks challenges.  And the challenges are:
  • Wild
  • Welcome
  • Adventure
  • Vibrant
  • Classic
They have some pretty wild looking shopping areas in Phoenix...this one had huge signs hanging with all kinds of advertising...I was particularly attracted to "the best margaritas" sign because I do like a good margarita....and that is exactly what I got, a Pina Colada Margarita, yum, yum.


While in Phoenix my hosts were invited to a "dress-up" Halloween party and they insisted that I go...I did, dressed as a Nun (oh the irony) and I welcomed everyone by taking their pictures which I then gave to the party-givers.


What an adventure I had while in Palm Springs.  We took the tram ride to the top of Mt. San Jacinto, approx 8,500 feet above....wow, the views as we rode up the tram to the top of the mountain.   


The vibrant hummingbirds came many, many times a day to the feeder.


And last, this to me, is classic Phoenix with it's rocky mountains, cactus, and blue, blue skies above.


So that's it for another Scavenger Hunt Sunday.  Hop on over to Ashley's blog and get a look at all the other images for this week's challenges.

Until next time....

  7. Well it looks and sounds as if you had a marvelous time on your trip. You make a very cute nun. Loved your entire set but these were my favorites.
    The Vibrant shot of the sweet hummingbird and your Classic shot of Phoenix are both awesome.

  8. If you were truly a nun they would be singing "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Deanna?" So fun! Love the hummingbird and the classic shot. Great set, Deanna.

  13. You look great in your Nun costume. I am loving all your photos. The desert there in Phoenix looks so much prettier than the desert here in Vegas. I think it's the saguaro cactus that make it so beautiful.

    Hugs~
