For most of the pictures, I walked the 20 acres around my house in search of the scavenger items. It was about 3 p. m. 50 degrees and sunny. I had to use my iPhone because I had left the sd card out of my Nikon. Here is what I selected:
Something colorful (focus on lighting)
This picture was taken in the city of Cape
Girardeau, during a hunt for birds. The
teachers spotted this colorful harbinger of
spring. He sat patiently so I could get a nice shot of his colorful breast. It is highlighted by the noon day sun and really shows off the bright orange.
This picture shows an important part of owning land. If you do not want other hunters wandering around, the purple band should be an indication that hunting is not welcomed on your property. Before I used this purple band, I had people fishing all the catfish from my pond and killing all the quail on my small farm. I have only heard quail on occasion, never seeing coveys as before.
Camouflage (lens focus)
Can you spot my 110 pound Golden Retriever?
Even thought she does not spend all of her time outside, sometimes it is important that she can blend in with the natural surroundings. She blends in so well, I often have to listen carefully to locate her.
Something small (zoom)
I tried to get a picture of the egg-shaped seeds from the Eastern Red Cedar. I'm not too pleased with this shot, so I will try again with my Nikon.
Something gross (composition) This was a nice size tree, but look what someone did to it. Do you see the strands of barb wire? The tree faces my property and in on the property line. The farm has been in my family since 1976 and I know we didn't do this.
