Scavenger Hunt

1. Small things

Welcome to Scavenger Hunt Sunday.

Snow and cow hair on barbed wire fence.

2.  Illustration

Well, I cannot draw well so this outdoor skating rink was worked in Photoshop Elements to illustrate what some Canadian children (and their dads) do outdoors in February.

3. Valentine

Obviously the violet is from my archives! I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day.

4. Work of Art

Mother Nature is an amazing artist.

Window of Beauty

This ephemeral beauty on my sun room window melted when the sun came out.

  20. You've got some wonderful submissions here for SHS. love the ice/frost art, although I know winters are not fun for y'all. How neat that you can create a sketch out of a photo in PSE.

  22. Love your frosty photos! The barbed wire fence is cool, as is the window. You did a great job on your illustration photo this week. Some of the prompts this week had me a bit perplexed, but you got them all right!

  24. Re your comment on Ocala: There's another Winn on the boat which you can't see. I don't know where the other Winn was or even if there is another Winn. The Winns may be trying to confuse people. It was very winndy playing golf today - maybe that was the doing of the 4th Winn?
