Scavenger Hunt Sunday - The July 15, 2012 Edition

After several days of being totally uninspired which I am sure is due to our intense heat and little rain which has pretty much dried up all the lawns and gardens in our area leaving little beauty to photograph, my buddy, Catherine and I took a run to the country today.  Driving to places we had never seen before, discovering little gems along the way.  Decided to try and complete each challenge with what I captured today (should have taken the list with me, probably would have made it a bit easier.)  Some of these are a pretty far stretch, but that's what this is all about, one's interpretations, right?  The challenges this week are:

• Water
• Petal
• Fresh
• Eight
• Calm

Water - OK this is my first stretch....these beautiful Queen Anne's Lace grow profusely without the need for any water whatsoever.  They are absolutely gorgeous this year, probably due to the lack of water.

Petal - OK, another stretch, but I just thought this was too good to pass up....look at this horse enjoying this field, wandering thru all the petals of the flowers blooming and totally surrounding him...

And this little one that is really surrounded by petals...and linking up to

Fresh....Oh boy, here comes another stretch....these chickens probably provide fresh eggs every day.  Well, maybe not the rooster, but surely the hen....

Now this one is no stretch...had to have at least one that was right on....eight birds on a wire.  Almost had nine, but thankfully one decided to fly away so only eight remained.

And finally calm.  The skies were calm today, with big puffy white clouds that created wonderful backgrounds for the fields and farms.....

And, I think this week we are back at Ashley's blog after she took a couple of weeks break due to the unexpected early delivery of her baby girl, Felicity.  Mom and baby are doing fine...so hop on over and maybe we will see a photo or two of the new little one....

Until next time....
