It’s time for Ashley Sisk’s Scavenger Hunt Sunday.  So without further ado, lets get to it.

1. Two Things

Well, a double exposure is two things right? I always allow myself plenty of leeway on these posts. This is one of my favorite creations. It is a statue of the great spirit, then double exposed against a tree.

2. Animal

Son Logan has horseback riding lessons almost every Saturday morning. I love watching the lessons.

3. Handwriting

Now, you all (as we say in Oklahoma) got to promise to keep this on the QT, deal? Okay, my real job is that I lead a group of people (Gas Supply Reps) in an effort to get natural gas producers in Oklahoma to connect their wells to my employers pipeline system. This is an application that I got one year when I had an opening. I’m sure that I’m violating all sorts of policies and procedures. So don’t tell anybody okay. No, I didn’t make this up. As my wife and all my coworkers and former teachers can attest, my handwriting is unreadable. It would probably make a great code in case we go to war again. The only problem is that nobody can break the code.

As far as whether the qualifications listed are still accurate, all I can say is that the last woman I chased I married about 24 years and eleven months ago and I last played golf about five years ago or so.

4. Frozen/li>

I hate being cold but I was warm when I took this picture of frozen Mount Rainier in Washington a few years ago.

5. Naptime

This is our fat dog, Abby, and our fat cat Chrissy doing some synchronized napping. Unfortunately, Chrissy is no longer with us and I still miss her.

Well that’s about it for this week’s edition.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

have been traveling and not participating in Ashley Sisk’s  Scavenger Hunt Sunday one of my most favorite meme’s but I’m back so without further ado lets get down to the Hunt!!

1. Eyes

I try and learn things from other people, especially people who are smarter than me, like my sister Ellen. She took a photography class and one of the things she learned is that it is important to capture an animals eyes. This is an elephant in the San Diego Zoo. I found its eyes and the eyes of almost all elephants I’ve seen (and they have all been in captivity) to be sad.

I captured this lion at the Tautphaus Park Zoo in Idaho Falls, Idaho last weekend. He looks pretty healthy. He has kind of a vacant stare. I’m glad that though that he wasn’t looking at me. That would be pretty scary.

2. Upside Down

I have a whole bunch of different type film cameras including an old funky Minolta that uses 110 film cartridges. I sent the film off to Cal-I-Forn-I-A (as we say in Oklahoma) for processing and they sent back a disk with the images. It took me a while to figure out what happened. Turns out that I liked they way they turned out.

3. From Behind

I run in several races every year. I take my camera with me and try and capture some of the experience. My favorite race is the Tulsa Run 15K. I was running along at the start of the race and came up upon this woman with a strange sign on her back.

So I got up along side her and talked with her a little bit and sure enough she was pregnant and the day of the race was her due date! I thought that was something awesome. Running a nine mile race on your due date! Of course, me being me, thought that this is one person that I could beat in the race. I’m so ashamed of thinking such base thoughts, but I do.

4. Sunshine

Hey, Okay, how about some KC and the Sunshine Band? Is that good enough sunshine for you?

Oh do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight
Do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight, baby

(I am really glad that the 70’s are over!! You can have them. Give me Five Finger Death Punch any day, is what I say.

Here is KC, all cool and slick and separated from his fans by a big wide table. Heather wasn’t going to let that stop her though.

The band members were pretty cool though.

5. Cup

Double Tall Latte for me please!! I love designs like this.

That’s it for this week folks. Come back soon!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

1. Sunglasses

These sunglasses belong to Irv, the wolrd’s great BIL. He puts up with a lot from his BIL is what I think.

2. Summer

We just got back from vacation on the Gulf Coast. We all got sand between our toes.

3. Outside

This is a “Tiny Planet” view of the beach. Tiny Planet takes a photograph and kind of folds it in on itself. There are various websites and phone apps that can do it.

4. Green

I saw this dude on Turkey Mountain a couple weeks ago. I could almost outrun him. I got winded and had to stop and rest or I would have kept up with him better.

5. Healing

Running the trails of Turkey Mountain is my Happy and Healing Place.

What about you? Where is your Happy Place?
