Scavenger Hunt Sunday - Outsides, Backsides, and More

I'm linking up again with AshleySisk dot com's Scavenger Hunt Sunday where she provides five scavenger hunt items to hunt for ever week. It's tough and challenging and also a lot of fun to see how the various participants interpreted the items. There are lots of creative photographers that participate (and then there is me.)

Without further ado, lets get to work.

1.Outside



I'm happiest outside, headed down a trail. In the woods during Autumn is wonderful but not necessary. The beach, a praire, a city park, downtown, I'm not picky. I love to walk and check things out.

2.Backside



I'm fascinated by alleys, the backsides of building. The front side is where the money is spent and customers come and go. The back is where the electricity and gas connections are, deliveries sent and received, and where the dumpsters are. The alleys are generally a lot more interesting than the front.

3.Little Things



I'm a geocacher. A high tech treasure hunt where "caches" are hidden and the GPS coordinates of the cache are posted on geocaching dot com. The finders download the coordinates and go find them. Usually they are tupperware type containers. Sometimes they are like the cache above which was hidden by the geocaching owner of a high rise in downtown New Orleans. He has the building engineer escort you up to the elevator penthouse for the search. Talk about the mother lode.



The other extreme are these tiny pill containers just a fraction of an inch long. They are extremely hard to find but some of them look like Christmas ornaments.



And some geocaches are hidden deep in the woods inside the homes of elves.

4.A Cup of…



You know I still like it when I order a latte and the barrista takes the time to make a design.

5.Reflect



Son and I went to Natural Falls State Park here in northeast Oklahoma last week. It is a beautiful and serene place with water falls and a nice lake set in a deep canyon. Much of the 1974 film "Where the Red Fern Grows" was filmed in the park.
