Scavenger Hunt Sunday - Red, White & Blue

Friday we had the family and a few friends (twenty in all) over to the house for burgers, brats and dogs.  After the meal everyone piled in their cars and headed to the local park for the city fireworks display.  I managed to find all of the prompts for this week in one place...kind of.  Here we go.

 Red
There were plenty of bombs bursting in air.  There were red ones, and...
 


 White
white ones.  The white ones were interesting, everyone came for the color, so let's move on.
 
Blue
The blue displays were very nice looking, but every one was looking for a little more sparkle.
 



 
 Sparkle
You want sparkle?  We got sparkle!  Some of the displays were really spectacular.  

 Play

The whole show was enhanced by patriotic music playing in the background.  It was the perfect combination of music and explosion.  The whole show lasted about thirty minutes, but it was some kind of show.  What did you do on the fourth?

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I didn't post last week because I totally failed on the prompts.  The only things that came to mind were infants and toddlers.  We don't have any of those in our family any longer.  Even the youngest grandson is 9.  Well, this week is all about colors and I think I can handle that.  Then again, maybe not.  You decide.

Red
 I don't know of anything more iconic Red than a Cardinal.  I have a bird feeder on our back deck and Cardinals come to it in flocks during the winter.  We have seen as many as 14 males on the feeder and surrounding trees.  Okay, got the first prompt out of the way.

Orange
  Okay, so maybe all of the colors aren't that easy to find.  Then I remembered that the inside of my camera backpack is orange.  Why would anyone want an orange interior in their camera bag?  Well, most camera gear is dark gray or black, so all of those little pieces are very easy to find against an orange background.  I need all of the help I can get.

Yellow
I'm going to claim that blonde is a shade of yellow.  I was at the state high school basketball play-offs on Thursday.  I got to watch five games over the course of eight hours.  Both boys and girls teams were playing at the same arena.  There will be more pics on Ruby Tuesday and probably Wordless Wednesday.
  
Green
 I think I may have found the only park bench in town with a John Deere color scheme.  All of the others are black.  Hey, it does have yellow.  Okay, so now I have two yellow captures for this week.

 Blue 
 
 The basketball tournament was a great place to find solutions to the color prompts this week.  Well, I didn't see Orange represented, but Blue was one of the more popular uniform colors at the tournament.  

Have a blessed Sunday.
