Scavenger Hunt Sunday (11/4/12 edition)...

November!!!!!  How did THAT happen??!!??  Yikes.  Three weeks til Thanksgiving.  Less than two months til Christmas.  And not one item scratched off my "to-do" list.  Maybe I should MAKE a "to-do" list???   So why should THIS year be any different?  But I still like to belly-ache about it.  Makes me feel I'm under the illusion that this usually isn't the case, haha.  But truth be told, this is standard operating procedure for me.  A continual state of disarray that somehow morphs into a final product that looks amazingly planned and organized.  Kvetch til I make it happen.  Yep, maybe I should make a bumper-sticker. Better add that to the to-do list.

Just like this week's Scavenger Hunt.  Wasn't happening, not gonna happen, too busy to make it happen, maaaaaaybe I can make it happen, dang it's happening, no question it was gonna happen.

This week's prompts are:  Wild, Welcome, Adventure, Vibrant, and Classic.


1.  Wild


"Once I Saw a Little Bird"
(linked to: Your Sunday BestWeekly Top ShotSnapshot Sunday)



2.  Welcome


"Knock-Knock...Who's There?"



3.  Adventure


"Row, Row, Row Your Boat"
(linked to:  Sundays in my City)



4.  Vibrant


"Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater"



5.  Classic (a classic nursery rhyme)


"The NOT SO Itsy-Bitsy Spider"



Okay, definitely NOT my best work but...I kvetched and it happened.  Whew, gotta love a plan.  Hope you all have a chance to check out Ashley's Ramblings and Photos to see all the other Scavenger Hunt Sunday submissions that made it happen MUCH better than moi this week.  And as always, thank you for taking the time to stop by and commenting.

--Kathy

P.S.  Did you remember to "fall back" this morning?

  3. On the contrary! I love your set! And you sound a lot like me when it comes to the hunt. I scrounged up my photos Saturday night - even stretched a prompt or two, but hey, it is all in the individual's interpretation, right? :)

  5. Fabulous as always.
    Loving the Wild little bird, so sweet.
    Adventure is lovely and looks like fun (but hard work)

    I enjoyed all the little titles under your photo's too.
    The Itsy Bitsy spider is a Daddy Long Legs, totally harmless by the way.

  9. 'not your best set' - seriously?!?! you knock it out of the park every time. consistently. the bird shot is brilliant, the boaters, perfect, and that spider and intriguing bird house - wonderful. your last minute is what the rest of us spend a week trying for.

  10. That bird shot is hands down my absolute favourite.

  11. I know, November! I finally admitted that it is November/cold here in Boston and put on pajama pants (vs shorts) and my thicker fleece coat (vs my thin sweatshirt). Glad you decided to join in this week, gorgeous as always! I wonder what is on the other side of the knocker!

  12. I was over at Andrea Dawn's and she said she wasn't going to post till she came here and by just being here she was so encouraged to make an attempt. Well, her attempt is fabulous. Thanks for being here-for all of us!

  13. OMG, without you Kathy I'd still be living in the past, running an hour late. After all my telling everyone to remember to turn their clocks back I forgot to do ours. You are a lifesaver. Silly me didn't even notice the time on the computer until I read your blog.
    You have done your good deed for the day, probably many times over :)
    Love the photos as always. Have a wonderful day!

  14. Very nice set! The bird is so pretty!

  15. Your itsy bitsy spider is great - you are a brave soul to get that close!
    Yes - we fell back, but I still kept checking the bedside clock with my phone to make sure it had set the right time after all. Extra hour of sleep - HA!
    Great set this week.

  16. Awesome set! love your Itsy bitsy spider.

  17. Well I'm glad you "kvetched" (I'm going to have to look that up, it may be illegal in Oklahoma but it looks like a great scrabble word. I love your Wild photo, and I can never get enough pumpkin shots. It's ok to shoot pumpkin photos after Halloween isn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  18. I'm glad you went for it - lovely photos! And the spider? Eeek!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Just love welcome - what a beautiful old door. Wild is really lovely too...doesn't it amaze you that birds can perch on something that looks like it should bend under their weight?!

    ReplyDelete
  20. EEEKKK@that not so itsy bitsy spider! lol ♥the rest of the pic though, my fav being the baby pumpkins. Vibrant colors!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I loved your take on the pictures. What kind of bird is it?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Oh I fell back alright and I'm NOT happy about it. Hate the dark. For a quick set I really like those 3 middle shots, especially welcome. As I recall you are a huge Christmas decorator. Better get that list going or the 3 Things will be mighty disappointed. Happy day my friend.

  23. I really love all of them, but I am a sucker for birds and old doors so I guess those would be my faves. Thanks for the inspiration.

  34. Will there is something to be said for both being organized and being spontaneous ... your entries are wonderful... especially love that little (is it a song sparrow) wild bird... Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #55!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Yes, I did remember.

    LOVE the "rowing" picture. Also, that door knocker is just awesome. I wonder how it would look on a little modern duplex with a metal door. Sigh.

    The title of your blog makes me giggle every single time!

    1. I am definitely NOT Marcus Woods!!! Hehehehehehe

      He helped me work on my computer this afternoon, and in an attempt to CONVINCE me to go to Gmail, he signed into his Gmail account on my computer. I didn't realize he was still signed in, so VOILA, the Keetha comment above came in as if it were from Marcus.

      Good Grief!
