Scavenger Hunt Sunday

My Town
There seems to be a lot of hot air ballooners (is that what they're called?) in our town, so we see them every now and then. We saw one while driving, then after we had been home for about a half hour my husband heard "whoosh, whoosh, woooooosh" outside and when we went to see what it was, the air balloon was landing about a block away!

Something Vintage
Last Thursday was the last (free) day to go to a local Children's Farmstead. They have tons of vintage things and my daughter loved climbing on the old tractors, so I thought it fitting to get this shot.

Tilt-Shift Photography
We went to the Kansas State University football game on Saturday and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for a great tilt-shift shot!
I used Coffeeshop's Teeny Tiny World action.

Dress Up
Last night our town had trick or treating, so Seth dressed up too and took the kids. 
Tthis is not very good by any technical standard, but I caught the moment and therefore it's perfect to me!

Chocolate
I made faux Thin Mint cookies today...just so I would have a chocolate shot.

  1. Katie I recognise that woosh - I've had the same noise aswell and have looked out the window to see one land quite near our house too. You were quicker than me with the camera!

    Lovely shots especially of the kids and Seth. Any photo I take of the kids is always impromtu and that tilt one is awesome and the chocolate one looks so yummy. :)

  4. I was all ready to comment on your photos and then you had to throw in a yummy chocolate shot. I've forgotten everything. Actually, these are all really great. I'd love to see hot air balloons on a regular basis and your vintage shot is so interesting. Great work!

  11. All of the pics, were great! The chocolate one is my pick, I might be partial to it due to the fact I owned a candy store at one time in my life. :)

  14. I love your tilt-shift... like miniature football players plopped right in the middle of the field!

    LOL that you had to make a batch just so you could have a shot for chocolate... I almost did that, but luckily they served chocolate fudge cupcakes at the party that I took Z to. =)
