Scavenger Hunt Sunday






Stairs
My mom came to visit for a few days, so I took her and the male twin to visit the Pioneer Tower. 
It wasn't open but I was able to snap this photo of the stairs from just outside the doorway.


Macro
Kind of tricky without a macro lens. This will have to do, while I keep saving!



Clouds
A shot of the weather vane on top of the tower. The first settlers were 
Mennonites from Pennsylvania, hence the covered wagon and horses.

Abstract
A close up of the rocks used to form the tower.

Smile

Later the same day, the male twin after winning two first place ribbons at a horse show.



~Happy Sunday Friends!~

    Such a sweet smile shot. Love the angle on your stairs, very cool. I thought it might be a lighthouse. Pretty rocks for abstract-wouldn't have thought of that.

    Congrats, Male Twin! He gets ANOTHER blue ribbon from me for that award winning smile. Love all of your photos, Andrea. Your macro is very good, even w/o the lens. I know what you mean about saving for that little "toy." Costs as much as my camera, if not more :-o
    Enjoy your Sunday! -Tammy
