My final photos for Rinda's photo challenge

These are the last of my photos for the 2015 Photography Scavenger Hunt hosted by Rinda at Gallo Organico.  To see part 1, please go here and for part 2, please go here.  To see the entire collection, check out my Previous Collaborations page.

I had two photo prompts I still needed to take, and one I couldn't pass up.  The one below was the hardest of all.

4. People playing a card or board game.

It's hard to get photos of others playing cards or board games when you live alone, and your cats refuse to participate in such nonsense.  So this one was improvised.

I had to go on the internet to determine how to lay out the traditional solitaire game.  I play Freecell, but do so on the computer only.  So, after I laid out the cards in the proper order,

it looked like I had a pretty decent game.  However, I didn't win, even after a really good start.  I hope this qualifies, because I'm out of other options.

In order to complete the Scavenger Hunt, I needed to replace this photo I took of four flags

after I misread the prompt.  I needed to replace it with

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

I admit I got inspiration from my friend Halle, who used a toy with three plastic flags, and from BJ, who made her own flag.  Granted her's had real flags on it, and it was much larger than mine, but both these participants influenced

my decision to make my own flags from a large sandwich toothpick, a polymer clay bead, and washi tape.

 And finally, I have to show an even better set of photos of

18. An overloaded truck, car, bicycle or other vehicle:

This is the overall view of the very first load of recyclables going to Goodwill in Sally's brand new car.  The photo was taken about two weeks ago in my drive. This is the first of 11 loads to date (as of September 17).  And each load was equally full.

This is how I loaded the area behind the passenger seat.  Looks like I have no room to sit, since Sally's and my purses are taking all the passenger seat space!

This is the side behind the driver


and this is what I stashed in the hatch.  It's a good thing Sally has a backup monitor on her dash, or she would never have been able to see behind her.  I could have gotten more bags or boxes in, had that kitchen barstool chair not taken so much room.

With a little ingenuity, and a bit of creatively interpreting the prompts, I was able to find photos to satisfy all 21 prompts on the Scavenger Hunt list, in addition to all three alternatives.

I had fun taking photos and interpreting the prompts along the way.  I want to thank Rinda for being such a wonderful host, and putting this event on every year.  I'm already looking forward to next year's list, and this summer isn't even over for another three days!  Thanks again, Rinda!
