Scavenger Hunt and I Heart Macro on Monday (8/20/12)

Welcome to another edition of the photo Scavenger Hunt and I Heart Macro!  Enjoy!

1) Forest
A little dose of nature in Milwaukee.

2) Morning Light
Light coming in our front room in the morning.  I took the picture through our French doors.

3) Touch
I took a short trip to Chicago this week for a concert. I knew that the Crown Fountain in Millennium Park would be a perfect place to get the photo for this prompt.

4) Newspaper
I really want to write an article about newspaper gift wrap options and want a few original photos for it. I thought that this would be a good opportunity to try those rolled paper flowers that you see everywhere online.

5) Coffee or Tea

I have shot a handful of both coffee and tea pictures for articles this summer, but I got inspired to try something new for the prompt this time.

I'm using this for my I Heart Macro shot this week.

Here's your weekly dose of Angel this week. The past couple months, she's been hanging out by this basement pole a lot and often keeps her paws on it as though some one is going to take it away.

  9. Neat! I really like your paper flowers. Love that you used paper with type. Also, the picture of the sunlight through the door is interesting because of the bevel in the glass. Great job all around!

  12. Great photos! When I first saw the morning sun photo I wasn't sure what it was or what I thought of it. After you said it was the morning sun, I gained a great appreciation for it.
