And each week I think to myself, self this week I will start earlier.
And well, as usual I left my prompts until last minute.
But I did manage to get a few while we were in Galveston this weekend
to watch a reenactment of the Battle of Galveston, so here we go . . .
1. Stacked: A kettle on an iron grate stacked on top of some stacked firewood. A double stack, yeah me!
2. Winter Wonderland: Well, if I lived in the Panhandle of Texas that would be easy...but I'm on the coast and the only snow I've seen was when they brought in a snow machine to Galveston at Christmas. So the next best thing - take a tree scene, turn it into a black and white and invert it - and bingo, a winter wonderland!
3. Sweet: After our little adventure today, we stopped in to my favorite chocolate store and lucky for me everyone else had the same idea because that meant I could stand in line a little longer to shoot a few of these....raspberry truffles! (SOOC and slightly cropped)
4. Hole: Before the reenactment we visited the living history enampments where they were preparing their guns with gunpowder. This gentleman was a little surprised when I asked him if I could get a pic of the front of the gun . . . come to think of it, I was too!
5. Frozen: I thought I was going to have to pull out an archive on this one until I remembered the other morning and how I entertained myself with my coffee, again! Here you have steam, that I froze with my camera. Yes, I'm easily amused, lol!
Oh, boy I'm excited! I'm pretty sure I'll have most of my prompts before Saturday this week!
Continue to fun, go check out more scavenger hunts over at Ashley's . . .
Love, Kim

Good morning Kim,
What a wonderful collection. I love the thought that has gone into these and the photos are beautiful.
I love the winter wonderland...and the hole startled me, but is really a fantastic image! Great set!
That winter wonderland is so creative - what a great idea. And that is such a great SOOC shot for sweet - I actually though it was cross-processed because of the lovely light.
So cool what you did for the Winter Wonderland shot. Great capture of the "frozen" steam, too! Wonderful set. =)
Fabulous!!! As I scrolled down, each photo kept outdoing the previous. I looove that 'sweet'...doubly amazing that it's SOOC :) The DoF in 'hole' works perfectly, and the frozen steam...breathtaking! (I'd be amused by that activity, too ;D) Great job!!
There's such quality amongst all your photos here - the fact that I'm mentioning a couple doesn't dismiss at all that I'm pretty much in awe of them all, but I especially would like to note your winterland and frozen shot.
Wow, great set, I feel like this week I am really playing in the big leagues! Everyone's sets are amazing! Love the hole shot...a little nerve wracking but good.
Amazing shots!I like frozen capture!
Nice day, kisses:)
Creative idea with Winter Wonderland! I really like your sweet shot. Awesome SOOC.

Kim, that steam is just amazing!! I tried to capture my breath, but alas! So I will live vicariously through you!
Winter Wonderland: now who's the clever one? :)

Kim, Kim, Kim...couldn't wait to get back from NYC today to see your colection. FIRST of all..those truffles...are they Godiva? haha.....because they LOOK like it and if so...Raspberry Truffles are my FAV!!!! And I have to say, inverting your photo for a winter wonderland is such a BRILLIANT idea! And your result if just FABULOUS! Seriously...awe inspiring.

I'd give my right arm if I could capture steam like this....wow! ANd that hole....wow....that is super cool. And can i just say....those Truffles look truly scrumptious!
Wow Kim! I love-love the winter scene--I may have to try that-but living in the North-I can probably get some snow shots-we spend Jan and Feb in Florida-but somehow Palm trees and snow scenes don't mix:)
How do you capture steam? slow shutter speed?? I may have to see what I can do-even in Florida:)
WOW... amazing shots! (ha ha ha...the gun... never mind...) =) I love love the steam!~
That winter wonderland is PHENOMENAL!!!
