Photography scavenger hunt

For the second year now I'm taking part in Gallo Organico's 2016 Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt. And this time I planned that all my pictures would be taken in Australia. However, because of a tragedy while I was vacationing there, my delight in this project waned and I wasn't able to take all the pictures I wanted.

1. A "wild heart" - a naturally occurring heart. The Uluru or Ayers Rock is, as my niece cheerfully informed me when I told her about this hunt, is the “red heart” of Australia.


4. A book or magazine read during 2016


5. A porch or deck


6. A camper (caravan)


7. A family gathering

8. A drawing, art project, artistic photograph, scrapbook page, greeting card, or art journal page created by you.

9. Someone playing with, in, or around water. This man was on a jetski. I snapped the picture while on the plane.


10. A bicycle


11. Fresh produce


12. A window


13. The moon


14. A buffet of food


15. A team logo


16. A map showing a trip taken during the time period. Parking was difficult here and we had to go around this place before we found a spot.


17. Twins. These dolls were in the same box and they do look alike.


18. A supermarket cart, basket or trolley full of groceries


20. Someone laughing

21. A photograph of you with a newspaper or calendar page from the time period covered in the Hunt.

alternative 1: a lighthouse


alternative 2: a baby (human or animal). That's a stuffed toy, a baby dingo in the mouth of its mother

Again, I failed to find three photos. It was the same as last year. At least, I am pretty consistent. And although there is still time to complete the list I'd rather not, as I've explained why at the outset.
