Scavenger Hunt Sunday {Feb.5.2012}
I’ve been admiring Krista’s shots for a while now every Sunday when she participates in Scavenger Hunt Sunday – a little weekly photography exercise with prompts that you photograph however you wish to interpret them. I’ve always thought it would be fun to join in, but I’m so scatterbrained these days that I never remember to actually work on it through the week. Today though, I decided to just throw it together this morning before breakfast, with whatever I could find around the house. Also – I needed some pretty in my day after my flop of a blog post rant yesterday which garnered exactly zero comments. Bah humbug. Perhaps a little eye candy is more my readers’ style for today.
So, without further blah blah blah, here we are:

{The Prompts}
- Strike a Pose
- Footwear
- Hobby
- Shiny
- Colour me Green
{The Photos}

- {Strike a Pose} Well, having not even had a shower yet this morning I certainly wasn’t about to photograph myself. So, I decided to capture my kids in their natural state – lately these are the exact same faces I get every.single.time. I get out the camera. The smiles are kind of contagious, don’t you think?

{Footwear} With baby number three on the way and due in June, the footwear in this house that I find most exciting are the tiny little adorable newborn size shoes that are waiting for tiny scrumptious baby toes to fill them. PS, no we don't know the gender, but girl shoes are way more fun, let's be honest!

{Hobby} I am a true amateur at several different pursuits, which drives me nuts sometimes. I don't know if I'll ever be good enough at any of them to be called a professional. One of my most favourite things is writing, which I do on this keyboard.

{Shiny} The morning sun just sings its brilliance through my east-facing windows every morning (We are so lucky to have sunny blue skies almost year round. It totally makes up for the minus forty in the winter...). This is an antique candy dish which is part of a set that was given to me by my great-aunt before she died. I love the sunlight shining on my shelf of thrifted and antique dishes.

{Colour Me Green} While I seem to definitely possess the black thumb of death when it comes to houseplants, I am making a final last-ditch effort to revive these half-dead ones that I got from IKEA a couple of years ago. I always ALWAYS forget to water them, so I decided to keep them at my sink where I remember to give them water, under the windowsill with lots of brilliant sun. Miracles of all miracles - they are coming back to life, with more green and less brown every day
I’m also linking up today with A Rural Journal‘s Sunday Best, where you can show off your best shot of the week, as well as The View From Right Here‘s Weekly Top Shot. I’m going to have to say that the shot of my kiddos is my fave (of course), but really I was pretty happy with all them, especially considering it was a total last-minute thing.
Anyone have any fun and cozy plans for today? What? There’s some sport thing going on? Oh, uh, right. I guess it’s a good excuse for yummy food…?
