Before I get to Scavenger Hunt Sunday, quick question. I'm quickly falling into another black hole that is threatening to swallow up any remaining free time I have...Instagram. Yes I know, I'm fashionably late to the party AGAIN. When oh WHEN will I ever find time to dust my baseboards and clean doggie nose prints off my windows? So I'm curious to find out what apps for Instagram I'm missing out on too? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated...and my future cleaning lady thanks you too.
This week's Scavenger Hunt Sunday prompts are: Warped, Concentric Circles, Gear, Glazed, and Marble.
1. Warped
"From Croatia, With Love"
2. Concentric Circles
3. Gear
"En Plein Air"
An artist and his gear. Found a beautiful lavender farm yesterday. Fields and fields of lavender. There goes my rationale for the Better Half to take me to Provence. On to "Plan B"... the food.
4. Glazed
Spin Art!!!!!! Oh how I loved this at carnivals and fairs when I was a kid. Oh how I would get motion sick just looking at it. How the paint would spin outwards and glaze the paper in circular patterns. It was either this or a glazed donut for a photo....my hips say thank you to Spin Art. (Yes, this is concentric circles too...see, I'm smart like that Mr. Staller)
5. Marble
"
"Marble-cam" to the rescue. Seriously, WHO sits around and thinks "Hmmmm, I think an i-phone app that puts a big huge marble into a photo would be waaaaaay cool"??????? Obviously someone who is RIGHT.
Another Scavenger Hunt Sunday in the books. Next week will mark my One Year Anniversary of both blogging AND Scavenger Hunt Sundays. Time sure flies when I'm having fun. But seriously, my house is a MESS!!!!!!
Happy Sunday...

That glazed photo is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE instagram!! I'm scrapbookmom17. Follow me so I can follow you back! And I LOVE the marble ap!! This is another beautiful set of shots - the lavender field is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh another fun post with great pics. I am still faltering on the Instagram...have it but don't use it. That lavender field must have been stunning!!
ReplyDeleteI may have been early to the instagram bandwagon, but I had no idea the marble in a photo was an iphone app. What app is it? I'm curious to see what you find out about other apps for instagram because I just use instagram.
ReplyDeleteIt's called "Marblecam".Pretty cool, dontcha think?
DeleteLove your photography. Always pushing the limits, finding something new. So since your boots are from Croatia I must ask if you stopped by in Slovenia too? I grew up in Ljubljana.
ReplyDeleteApps? Some swear by VSCO and others Snapseed. Ultimately for me the whole point is to post instant photos in real time so I end up just using filters on IG. Your feed is lovely Kathy!
I love those boots, and that lavender. But I think the spin art is my favorite. Awesome!
DeleteStasha, that is what I've been doing so far...just filters on IG. Thanks for the suggestions tho! And NO, I haven't been to Slovenia...yet! I got those boots in Croatia probably about 5 years ago now. They are my FAV boots. I've had them re-soled 3 times so far. I LOVE them!
DeleteLove your boots . . . funny that you should have worked footwear into the Hunt! I saw this quote the other day and thought of you . . . "Cinderella, proof that a pair of shoes can change your life."
ReplyDeleteThat lavender marble shot is so very cool, too.
Greetings from Oman!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat captures and enjoy your sunday.

I like these colourful marble.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful.
Especially love your last two photos - particularly with the 4th and how you've managed the capture that scene so well, I can almost never do that in public situations.
ReplyDeleteLove your glazed! Spin art is so fun! Welcome to instagram - I'm tamarsb!
ReplyDeleteJust the other day my friend asked if I knew of a lavender field that is local to Philly. Where is this field? I love to read your blog. So much fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment. I believe there are two Lavendar Farms in the Bucks County area. The one I was at is Carousel Lavender Farm outside of New Hope in Solebury. The other one is Peace Valley Lavender Farm and is near Peace Park in Bucks County.
DeleteAn awesome set, as usual, Kathy. So glad you shared your Lavender shot with us at YSB this week. (Love those boots!)
ReplyDeleteLove the boots too! ~ Fantastic photo shots ~ Wow! ~thanks, ^_^ (A Creative Harbor)
ReplyDeleteSPIN ART!! Flash backs to the May Fete. :). I love the colors and the composition of that photo.
ReplyDeleteThe May Fete is EXACTLY what I was thinking too :)
DeleteThose boots are awesome! Truly. And your lavender shots are gorgeous...I hadn't heard of the Marblecam app, so thank you! I will check it out immediately. Some of my favorite apps so far are Snapseed, Phonto, Picfx, BeFunkyFX, and Pixlromatic. Type-Writer is also nice if you simply want to type a quote (or in your case, something funny...lol). The font looks like an old-fashioned typewriter (and even makes the sound as you type). Pic Stitch is wonderful for combining multiple photos into one frame (collage effect). There are many frames to choose from. Have a lovely Sunday! And I hear you on getting addicted to Instagram - it's too much fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestions!
DeleteLove, love,love those boots, Kathy. Don't know nothin' bout no apps............sorry. I have an olde fashion cell phone. All I know is "pusha da' buttons." :) Good day!
ReplyDeleteKathy - you put a huge smile on my face - Loved this post - but mostly glad to find someone else whose bird legs fail to fill out most of the boots in these parts! With that said - pick me up a pair ;D
ReplyDeleteInstagram is so fun. I go through spurts with it!
look me up - myboysterouslife
Loved spin art - always fun. My favorite is your 'gear' shot.
ReplyDeleteI love that Gear shot Kathy - it's seriously gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the Gear shot and...well I love them all. well done!
ReplyDeleteYou are not the last to the instagram party-NOT in attendance yet. Money, money, money. the marble shot is very cool. Love those boots. I went to Croatia in 20007-amazingly beautiful country. No boots for me though. I agree with Lori-that gear shot is really stunning. Very artful you and James Dean. Happy day Kathy.
ReplyDeleteYou must be leaving pretty soon for Cuba....can't wait to see what you bring back for us. Happy travels my friend :)
DeleteThat marble shot is fun. Never heard of that process. Lavender fields are beyond beautiful, and I too want to go back to Croatia! Have a fab week.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! Spin art was so fun, but then where did our finished artwork end up? Hmm, never remember seeing in on the fridge or in a frame! I love the concentric circle shot and would have had to look it up as well. I jotted down a few of the Instagram ideas. It is a fun addiction.
ReplyDeleteThere must be a big "Spin Art Grave Site" yonder...somewhere :)
DeleteWhat a fabulous set.. LOVE them all.. And yet once more you have me smiling this morning. :)
ReplyDeleteThat marble shots is so cool..
Hugs~
someone else used that ap for marble effect! so cool
ReplyDeleteThat last one is SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection of pictures - but I really love your lavender field - so beautiful - and your marble shot too. Lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're crackin me up! LoL! =)
ReplyDeleteLove the lavender fields... forever! =)
I would just like to ditto Tricia Hays above me. I would have said the same things.
ReplyDeleteLoved being here,
Dawn

ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful images, Kathy. I always enjoy your creative scavenger hunt posts.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Once again you always amaze me.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots - love the processing on Warped!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, all the colors and the spin art...fabulous! Marble-cam what fun! Always a treat to visit your blog!
ReplyDeleteThat marble one is neat. I am not really on instagram but I am a recovering appaholic. I try to just get the free stuff. I'll never tell my husband that the apps in my phone probably amount to the cost of my phone. LOL! So one neat recommendation is tiny planets (nothing to do with instagram) Another one that I've see people do neat stuff with so I got it (it's free) Instaframe.
