Summertime Photography Photo Hunt: Part 1, the easy ones!

Today I'm joining Rinda Ontiveros at Gallo Origanico during her annual summer scavenger hunt.   Last year was my first, because I'd never had a camera good enough to take photos before.  But I simply love this challenge, especially now that I have a camera where the images are actually visible and legible. 

For my first entry, I have the easy ones: the ones I could get without too much trouble.

1.  A bouquet of flowers:

I found these while grocery shopping.

3.  Person walking a dog (or other animal):

I watched this guy walk past my house, then had forethought to grab my camera and get a picture of him and his little dog.

5.  Architectural columns:

I took this photo from the side of the building because the street in front was very, very busy.  The columns are even more impressive from the front, but I wasn't about to risk life and limb for a photo.  After all, I thought this view was pretty spectacular.

6.  A metal bridge:

My friend and I drove by our new airport and I shot this thinking it looked like a bridge that went nowhere.

Then I found this metal bridge, which actually DID go somewhere.

 7.  A turtle:

Originally I turned these three photos into a mosaic, but the mosaic was so low-res, I decided to show all three photos of the turtle as s/he began to hide right in front of my camera.

11. A cell tower or a TV satellite dish:

At one of the local TV stations, I got both satellite dishes and towers.

12.  A public restroom, bath room, or toilet:

While at a restaurant, I took this photo.  Not the prettiest restroom in town, but convenient.

14. A traffic signal:

This was probably the easiest of all the photos.  Note I got not ONE set of traffic lights, but an entire bank of them down a busy street.

15. A flag pole with at least three flags on it:

I completely misread this prompt.  I thought it was to find at least three flag poles, which is what I found.  I even looked far and wide for this one, too.

16. A panoramic view while taken someplace high in the air.

First of all, I live in Kansas, where you can actually see the declination of the earth if standing on a mound.  So to say Kansas is flat is like saying a bear hibernates.  Second, I'm deathly afraid of heights, and don't like to be anywhere high.  This was as high as I was willing to get, which is on a bridge overlooking this koi pond.  And it looks rather panoramic to me, at least when I use my imagination and hold onto the rail.

17. At least two people wearing matching uniforms: 

While at a local restaurant, I noticed all the wait staff were dressed alike.  So I took a photo where two were dressed the same.

19. A ticket booth:
While at the zoo, I took two photos of the ticket booths.  However, when I put them together,

the photos were cut off and were quite low-res.

I decided to show them as I thought they should be shown.

20. A natural body of water:

One of the rivers near my house was high when I visited and took these two photos.

I headed toward the bank and shot photos of the wildlife around the river.   I was quite pleased and decided to use two photos for this prompt.

These were the easy photos.  Now for the ones I may or may not be able to find!  Thanks for joining me on this summertime photographic adventure.
