Photo Scavenger Hunt

Hello all!  I thought of many, many ideas for this week's hunt.  The world is made up of shapes!!!  I had to think of some things that might be interesting.  That is what became hard for me.  I have a few pictures here.  Perhaps I should only have two or three.  I had a hard time figuring out which ones to post and which ones not to.  Well, here they are:

The first two I chose were for my love of quilts.

                          This is a shot of a quilt that my Mama gave me when I moved to a new apartment a few years ago.  It has baskets on it.  I forget the name of the pattern, but it is made out of triangles - a shape.  The next pic, is of a star quilt made up of diamonds with a circle in the center.  This is Honey's favorite place to sit.  She usually sits and looks out of the window, but she is not in this shot, as it is night-time, so she is staring into space.  An Amish lady friend, Katie, made this special quilt.  Katie and her husband Eli were written up in a past entry.  They are wonderful people!

                    

The next pic is of a local church.  It has many shapes in its architecture.  I like the stained-glass circular window in the front.

              

I also included my new kitty, JoJo in this photo hunt, as he has shapes on his body.  He has a circle on his back (and a couple of circles other places) as well as a cute, pink triangular nose and a white triangle-like forehead.

                     

I also chose my favorite round paperweight from childhood.  I remember loving to stare and this.  My Mama gave this to me later as an adult.

                 

And lastly, I chose a strange, oval-shaped thinga-ma-bob, growing out the side of a tree that is growing in my back yard.  Hope everyone enjoyed my "shapes" today!

  6. Another awesome entry by VAL! Nailed it. Love the paperweight, and the way the green swirls about. I almost took some shots of a local church but changed my mind at the last minute... it even resembled your photo. What a cutie kitty JoJo is. HOW on Earth did you get him to sit still long enough to photograph? Our kitties used to streak around the house like maniacs until they'd pass out in the weirdest places. Love his markings. Oh man those quilts look soooooo warm. Reminds me it's time to go snuggle under the blankets. Thanks for sharing.

  8. Great pics but I must admit that I am partial to the JoJo picture.  I'm just a sucker for  fur babies.  LOL

  9. Great pictures!  JoJo is adorable, he looks surprisingly similar to our Number Six!  He has georgeous eyes, and I love little pink noses!  Does he have spots on his pads?  What a cutie....the other pictures are great too!  I love the church.
