April Photo Hunt

I participated in the April Photo Hunt Challenge as prompted by my good friend Jamie! Thanks Jamie! It's been awhile since I participated and it felt good doing so! I like that the number of items to hunt for is down to 12 - much more do-able. :) Enjoy...

1. Animals
2. Bedroom
3. Best from April 16 or 17 ~ I was at a Trade Show working that weekend and didn't bring along my camera anyway - so this isn't really 'the best' but it was a fun shot to get while waiting to cross the street in downtown Seattle
4. In Fashion
5. Lawn & Garden
6. Lazy ~ this is a far-fetch photo for lazy... maybe lazy in that we can get a fish from Pike Place Market in Seattle rather than going fishing for our own?!
7. Playtime
8. Rain & Water
9. Silhouette
10. Something Tiny ~ intricacies of carving a large totem pole (downtown Seattle 'In Memory of John T. Williams')
11. Something Huge
12. Texture (can be real or processedI am linking up to Photo Hunt Challenges - for more delightful photography please head on over there!

Photo Hunt Challenge #6

There was a Photo Challenge in the month of February, and as usual I sign up thinking 'no sweat I can do this', but then it comes to the end and I either scramble to finish finding photos to shoot or run out of time to post photos in time - which was the case this time. Here are a few from some of the challenged items to photograph - mainly taken in Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympics:

6. A clock
11. A mirror image
12. Night image
