Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I love Scavenger Hunt Sunday, each week the prompts give me something new to try and make me get out of my comfort zone. And now that I've got a little more spare time on my hands I can get back into participating each week. Yay!

1. Camera Phone

I don't own an iphone or any such gizmo, just an old cell phone that has a pretty basic camera built in. I'm an avid reader of Mortal Muses and they've been blogging about camera phones being perfect to capture those one-off, everyday memories and this is exactly what I caught when I was packing for a trip and my cat jumped into my suitcase in a galant effort to make me take him with me. So cute and so funny, but he wouldn't have stayed there long enough for me to grab my camera. Good thing I had my phone handy. It's not the most artistic and it's definetly not the best picture ever, but it captured the moment forever and that's what's important.

2. Camera

My 4 year old friend here loved learning about and using my camera. While most of what she took photos of was either exactly the same as the 20 before it, or involved her feet, she did have fun. And I got to take this gorgeous wee photo of her with my camera (from my compact camera that I keep in my handbag 'just in case').

3. Shoes

I didn't think my shoes were that interesting until my 4 year old friend spent hours playing dress ups with them.

4. Chair

I took this photo of my Mum and I love it, but I love how the chair works so well and makes the photo that much more interesting.

5. Imperfection

I did a photo shoot with these three yesterday at the beach. While it was a stunning day it was also windy, meaning we ended up with lots of these unusable photos (or imperfect ones if you will). These imperfect ones gave us some laughs and helped me to determine which photos were the 'perfect' ones. It's the imperfections in life that make life interesting, and it's the imperfections that allow us to recognise the perfections.
