Sunday Scavenger Hunt

I have to admit that this weeks prompts were harder than they should have been for me.  The colors mostly. I wanted to avoid a photo that had all the colors in them, like say a flag.  And I have plenty of White and Blue things around my house, but didn't think that taking a photo of the shampoo bottle would really set the right tone.  I did finally come up with a photo for each prompt... although they may not be my best.  Without further ado...

Red
My daughter and I attended our local rodeo parade this past weekend.  Afterwards they were having an antique car show.  My father-in-law loves Corvettes so we decided to take him a photo.  The one we found just happened to be red.

White
This is the photo that I had the most difficulty with.  I found this seeding plant on the playground to my daughter's school when we went there to play.  It was white.  It works.

Blue
Nothing says long weekend like a blueberry martini.  They are so sweet (almost too much) and so pretty.

Stars
My daughter recently got an ice tray that makes star shaped ice.  How could I not use that for Stars?

Sparkle
We had a wonderful 4th.  We saw beautiful fireworks, ate good food, and played (that was mostly Kiera though).

Oh Snap! photo of the week



Of course this week was the Fourth of July, so everyone will have their own fireworks shots.  My family was invited to a very large BBQ get together.  This photo was taken at the beginning of the show so it was still just slightly light out.  This is one of my favorite shots from the hundred or so photos that I took that night.

By the way:
In case anyone was wondering the settings that I used were f/16; ISO 100; SS 2.5 as suggested in this post by Courtney at Click It Up A Notch.
