  Prompts this week at Ashley's site are routine, music, technology, show me your style, and mismatch..

          Scavenger Hunt Sunday                           

Routine...
These days I am especially conscious of care of my feet and these are some of the tools used to keep them healthy, plus at night it's good to hydrate them by applying lotion and wearing socks to bed.

                                                                                                                                                                 

Music...

Whenever my granddaughter is here she likes to play the piano.

                                                                                                                                                           

                                                         

Technology...

CDs and DVDs are soon going to be obsolete, no doubt.

Show me your style...
Antique pitcher, mirror, lace and pearls.

                         Mismatched paisley and striped scarves.

                                      

Scavenger Hunt Sunday ..2-19-12...

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Today we were supposed to take photos using these word prompts:  Love, Duplicated, Trendy, Paper and Plastic:

I combined Love and Paper...

I was lucky when I found this old Valentine in a scrapbook of my great Aunt Bessie.  It is made with painted paper that has a starchy quality and is well preserved, is addressed to her in Butte, Montana in Jan. of 1908, postage, 2cents. On the back is a colored pencil drawing of an elegant lady which it titled A Girl From Butte.

It goes on with quotes: "Tell me pretty maiden, is there any more at home like you?" "Are yez commin out tonight?"  "Miss Montana", "Hang on to yourself", signed "Duff".  All her photos suggest she was a lively lady.

Duplicated...

Went to my granddaughter's volleyball tournament today when I took this photo with an unsteady hand...

I combined Trendy and Plastic...

Lego is back as a popular passtime for kids of all ages, to the point of making robots and programming them.  The light was poor for this one.

Please check out the other great entries to this weekly posting of photographic art at Ashley Sisk's web site. Most have learned the details of using texture to alter or enhance their works.  When I am able to free up more disc space on my computer, I will be able to download tutorials on the subject, but for now, I'm afraid I am having to stick to the SOOC mode. Prompts are below...
                                

1.  Stacked up...

Just a few of the stacks of books I have scattered around the house that I have not finished or intend to read, purposely faded to a lavendered hue...


2.  Winter Wonderland....

Poor St. Francis gets the brunt of the weather where he stands in my garden bed...today he has a hat of snow and the birds he holds actually look a bit warmer because he is holding them...

3.  Sweet

Ordinary whole wheat toast with raspberry jam and butter...there is a lack of 'sweets' in this house right now...

4.  Hole...  a keyhole

      

Frozen...

This little man is in the music box I haul out every Christmas, so it's a recent picture...he is skating (not so swiftly) on an icy pond.                                  Scavenger Hunt Sunday
