I’m linking up again with AshleySisk dot com’s Scavenger Hunt Sunday where she provides five scavenger hunt items to hunt for ever week. It’s tough and challenging and also a lot of fun to see how the various participants interpreted the items. There are lots of creative photographers that participate (and then there is me.)
Without further ado, lets get to work.
1.Outside
I’m happiest outside, headed down a trail. In the woods during Autumn is wonderful but not necessary. The beach, a praire, a city park, downtown, I’m not picky. I love to walk and check things out.
2.Backside
I’m fascinated by alleys, the backsides of building. The front side is where the money is spent and customers come and go. The back is where the electricity and gas connections are, deliveries sent and received, and where the dumpsters are. The alleys are generally a lot more interesting than the front.
3.Little Things
I’m a geocacher. A high tech treasure hunt where “caches” are hidden and the GPS coordinates of the cache are posted on geocaching dot com. The finders download the coordinates and go find them. Usually they are tupperware type containers. Sometimes they are like the cache above which was hidden by the geocaching owner of a high rise in downtown New Orleans. He has the building engineer escort you up to the elevator penthouse for the search. Talk about the mother lode.
The other extreme are these tiny pill containers just a fraction of an inch long. They are extremely hard to find but some of them look like Christmas ornaments.
And some geocaches are hidden deep in the woods inside the homes of elves.
4.A Cup of…
You know I still like it when I order a latte and the barrista takes the time to make a design.
5.Reflect
Son and I went to Natural Falls State Park here in northeast Oklahoma last week. It is a beautiful and serene place with water falls and a nice lake set in a deep canyon. Much of the 1974 film “Where the Red Fern Grows” was filmed in the park.

I really enjoyed your photos today. What did the elf have to say?
Geocaching looks like the perfect hobby to accompany your photography! I’ve heard a lot about it but don’t think I’d have the patience! Love the photo of the alley.
i’ve yet to try geocaching… thought it would be something we could do with our granddaughter? oh, such a novel curiousity – alleys… love the gnome door.
Hey, these are great shots for the day!! Fun! And, yes, what did the elf have to say????
Love the outside shot and I too love a good design in my coffee. 🙂
I love all of the shots and am very interested in Geocaching. I’ve never even heard of it.
I like this entire set and find it very interesting!! I love your cup of latte! Wow, that sounds good right now. I wish I had one!
I hope you have a great week and happy geocaching and hunting!:-)
That little door is so charming! Great set!
The latte shot is just beautiful.
I’ve only heard/seen about geo caching on tv!!! Sounds like fun!
A good job on the scavenger hunt

Always interesting to me to see what you’ll post for the hunt, Yogi – you’re an original! I like alleys, too.
May the closest person to you smack you for inferring you are anything less than the other photographers in the hunt. {Shame on you!} That outside shot – wow, the detail in your cup of latte (and don’t we all love a good design in our latte) – perfect and to get a shot of an alley for ‘backside’ – very creative (and I agree, very interesting).
I’ve often thought a Geocatching hunt would be fun (and my husband carries one of those pill trinkets on his keychain for his heart medicine – they are truly small).
Love the last shot!
You had a great hunt this week. I especially like the tiny pill container hanging in the tree. Does look like an ornament.
Love the scavenger hunt photos, especially the micro cache. You might need to tell me how to get involved with this scavenger hunt.
Love the latte, and I have never had a barista make an effort. Maybe I need a mom and pop shop! It’s a lovely cup.
In that last photo, your landscape looks like ours. I really enjoy when you do this meme. Thanks for the tour!
I’ve always wanted to try geocaching, it looks like a lot of fun
I think your interpretation of “backside” is very creative. I’ll have to check into this adventure.
I too find your “backside” inerpretation of interest. I’m afraid I would have been a bit more earthy in my mind set.
Great interpretations! I admire all of you who participate in this meme, it really does take a lot of effort and creativity and it’s fun to look at the entries. You did great.
The elf behind the door was out when I found it. lol Love the pictures!
My father-in-law geocaches too. I would think you could find some amazing photographic captures on your outings~!
Wonderful collection, Yogi. I have no idea how you find those tiny geocaches! Amazing!
‘Geocacheing’ sounds super fun!!! Cute set!
