Lens-Artists Challenge #85 – Treasure Hunt

pam@ichoosethis's avatarPosted by

For this week’s Lens Artist Challenge from Tina, we’re going on a Treasure Hunt! The challenge is to search for specific items – either from our archives or newly captured – from the lists below. Thank you Tina for the fun challenge!! I picked some of my favorites all attached with great memories :-). Feeling grateful today:

“Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.” —Zig Ziglar

  • Challenge Items: Sunrise and/or sunset (Coast of Oregon, USA), Something cold and/or hot, a bird, a dog (Our Sweet baby boy, Yogi – ready to attend a funeral, a wedding or go to work – you pick), a funny sign, a bicycle, a seascape and/or mountain landscape (A rare sighting of Mt McKinley in Alaska, USA), a rainbow, a church (A church in Puebla, Mexico), a musical instrument, a boat, a plane, a waterfall
  • Extra Credit Items:  An expressive portrait of one or more people (Mother/Daughters in Bhutan), a very unusual place (Leech sox and the Danum Valley in Borneo, Malaysia), knitting or sewing, a fish (“Nemo” and friends in Borneo, Malaysia), an animal you don’t normally see (Starfish (my fave “animal” in Gustavus, Alaska), a bucket, a hammer, a street performer, a double rainbow, multiple challenge items in a single image. 

….i choose this…..

    1. Thanks lady! Yeah, this is one of my favorites as well. I have it hanging in my office. The little girl was out playing and apparently was late for something – dinner maybe. The mom had to march out and drag her back home! I could so relate to this situation!!

  1. Wonderful post Pam – you had a great treasure hunt, thanks so much for getting into the spirit of the challenge. Of course Yogi is the star, wherever did you get that tie?!?!?! I also really loved your starfish and McKinley (which was fogged in completely the entire week we were there 😡. Not that I’m not grateful for the fantastic Alaska visit overall mind you LOL).

    1. Thanks T! We were super lucky in Alaska – it poured rain the night before (we were camping), got up the next day and voila – there it was. Yogi IS A STAR!! Such a sweet boy – his tie is courtesy of his hair salon ;-). Have you been to Gustavus before?? It’s a cool little Alaskan town – the tide there is insane – we found a bunch of starfish at low tide – it was unreal how many there were. Appreciate your support as usual :-).

        1. ah….ok here is what I do: I write my post – add a link to Tina’s website, for example on her name. I publish the post, then click on the link I created on my post sending me to her site. This usually posts the pingback on Tina’s page. I hope this helps!

  2. The sea star was a nice photo to have as your featured photo and then again on the post – a strong photo to see twice- ha
    I once caught a sea star while fishing at dusk in Florida (near Ft Lauderdale)
    It wrapped around my hook and was heavy to pull in – I sent it back in once it unfolded on the sand

    And read the story about the mother and girl in comment section – wonderful photo –

  3. A treasure hunt! How fun!! I love all your many great “finds”, Pam! Yogi’s eyes are just adorable! The under the sea photos are just fabulous! It reminds me of snorkeling in Aruba. 🙂
