Scavenger Hunt #3 (for me)

Here we go, these are all pictures I took sometime in the last week.

LIGHTS

This is one of the student’s “Christmas Sweater”.  Granted it’s a jacket, not a sweater, which is why he was disqualified from the contest, but I still liked the duct-tape and Christmas light look.  I saw it later when he had a place to plug it in, unfortunately I didn’t have my camera with me at the time.

TREE

I got this shot of one of the trees out in front of the school from a 3rd floor classroom window.  I liked the way it looked all covered in snow.

BIG

I found a big snow pile to drive up when I was out with a friend the other day.

MAKES ME FEEL MERRY

I may not like the cold and winter is my least favorite season.  Despite all that, I love it when it snows.

ON THE DOOR

Welcome: Enjoy the play and subsequent lung cancer.  There were 5 other doors on the front of this auditorium, I thought it was ironic that they decided to put one of the two warning signs right next to the welcome sign.

Scavenger Sunday–My Second Attempt

This is kind of fun – going out and trying to figure out what to take pictures of to fit the list we’re given.  Here’s what I came up with for this week.

THE WEATHER TODAY

A weather front must have come in overnight, I saw shadows for the first time in a week.  No, it hasn’t been cloudy all week, in fact these are the first clouds that have come across the valley, and that’s why it was so bleak.  I live in a valley and in the winter we get inversions, where high pressure sets in over the valley and traps colder air under a blanket of warmer air.  All the car, industrial and heating exhausts get trapped along with the cold air and it gets yucky.  Weather that brings the clouds usually brings the winds also, which scour out the valley.  This one was a weak one, but at least it cleaned things up a little bit.

 

R IS FOR…RAIL

The new Sugarhouse Streetcar, just started taking passengers last weekend.  These are either rails that were accidentally bent and left laying around, or some sort of artwork for the McClelland St. stop.

GREEN

Need I explain?

JOY

Ok, not my idea of joy (I don’t like the cold), but they seem to be having fun, even the couple watching them go by.

DRINK

But, a hot cup of coffee on a cold day is my idea of perfect.

My first time.

I found a new photo group to add to my repertoire: Scavenger Hunt Sunday.

We get a list of 5 things to scavenge pictures of over the following week.  Here’s what I came up with for this week:

WHERE I STOOD

My friends and I spent a lot of time standing out in front of this 7-Eleven during the three years we spent at the high school.

SILVER

Ahhh, an electric coffee warmer that plugs into your car’s outlet.  Great for those long drives.

TINY

A 1/4” model I build of a house I designed back in high school.

IN THE CUPBOARD

is my set of Denny’s coffee cups.

SHADOW

Shadow of the light post over the dried pond at Sugarhouse Park.  In the winter, most of the water remains in the mountains, so the creeks and ponds tend to dry up.
