4. Airplane: From my window seat
5. Sunset: Reflected on the aircraft on another leg of my journey.
6. Someone, or something, taking a nap - Paris streets are littered with the homeless. This was the usual sight outside our Paris apartment early in the morning.
7. A sign that is intentionally, or unintentionally, funny : How about several?
a) Budapest
b) Dubai
c) Singapore

10. A bench that is outside: Rustic seating at the Village Museum, Bucharest.
11. An animal in a zoo, nature reserve, or aquarium: A frill-necked lizard, cleverly camouflaged, on a tree in the reserve where we walk each morning.
12: A cloud in the shape of something: Can anyone else see a bunny? This one was much harder than it sounded.
13. A fence: Wonderfully woven fence at the Village Museum, Bucharest.

19. A fisherman: Taken on a recent visit to Mooloolaba.
20. A dinosaur: This nasty looking critter was found in Dubai. He was a feature of The Magic Planet, the largest indoor family entertainment centre in Dubai, located in the Mall Of The Emirates.
21: A photograph of you with an artistic tool or craft supply:
Will a photo of my hand do? Am working on some 4" x 4" canvases for a Christmas exhibition at the Rosebed St Gallery.

Well I'm back...exhausted, exhilarated, and ready to tackle the washing now. THEN I can play with my toys again. Yay!!!
welcome back Jo!!! What an awesome trip-love every one of your photos-and hope to see more! I love travelling vicariously thru others:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to share snippets of your trip. What an adventure....I'm glad you're back safe and sound and inspired to create again. Share more trip pics when you can...
ReplyDeleteA visual feast! So glad you've shared it with us
ReplyDeleteHi Jo! I love your entire collection of photos! Excellent. My blog site just went over 25,000 hits and I was reminded that you are one of my most regular viewers and I haven't heard from you recently. I started to worry. So I checked out your site and saw that you have been traveling. Awesome! Safe travels and glad everything is good. Your friend and fellow artist, Steven.
ReplyDeleteNeat way to show us your trip. Glad you are home safe and sound. Looks like you had fun. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteJo, these photos are wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing so much about your trip. What variety! I can't imagine feeling like standing after this, much less thinking, downloading pictures, posting them on my blog, or anything else! It's obvious you have a lot more energy than I do!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! Wow, what an international scavenger hunt! Thanks for sharing so many amazing photos.
ReplyDeletewonderful to have you back!
ReplyDeleteI remembered that you participated last year in this challenge, so dropped by to see what you came up with this year. Stunning photos, all. I like that, of all my friends who have participated, you showed all yours at the same time. It made it so easy to keep track of.
ReplyDeleteFavorite? The fence. Unique and so different. Loved the lighting and the various trips you took while photographing these, too. Places I will probably never see in person, but you brought them all to life. Thank you, thank you.
Beautiful photos - what a trip - and so many for the hunt. Well done.

Really enjoyed your scavenger pix...
going on holiday with Rinda's list is perfect, isn't it!
I felt really challenged by the cloud search too!
On the day you posted this, 13 Sept we were flying to be by our eldest son's side...scarey to have him all the way across the US in CA when he needed us...
but we made it and it was a great visit.
Now we are enjoying the beach week we had planned some time ago...needed even more than we knew!

Loved all the photos, Jo. Now I have to check out your trip if I can read up on it on your blog. :) I had a couple of items off my list during travels as well, but they were all within the UK. LOVE that windmill!!
ReplyDeletePS: Thanks for having a look at my photos from the Scavenger Hunt.
Hello Jo, thanks for visiting my blog! Wow, you have seriously travelled this Summer! I was in your part of the world, but your European travels look fascinating! I love Budapest, ans now want to fo to Romania!
ReplyDeleteFinally getting around to visit - what an amazing adventure and what great scavenger hunt photos! I have to admit the idea of butt shaped cakes in Dubai is really funny! And I love that old windmill.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along,
Rinda
