The Scavenger Hunt

A few weeks ago, bffM (aka Molly) kidnapped me for a day for a belated birthday present.  We took a vacation day from work and escaped to Dahlonega to take pictures.  It sounded like a great idea.  Face it, anything not at work these days is a great idea.

Little did I know that her scheming little mind had some devious intent.  Mind you the all-you-can eat buffet that included fried chicken and fried okra offset any evil intent, but when she handed me the list of scavenger hunt items I became a little concerned.  But then again, I wasn't at work. 

 



This is a different perspective.  I also have a shot of the entire wall of Coke bottles, but this perspective is obviously from the side.  I also laid down on the floor and took a shoot up through a glass shelf some ceramic stuff.  That one was totally weird.  (Bet you didn't know that, Molly?)   

I started to include the entire list, which had things like a clock tower (there was none), tacky souvenirs (I found some), a movie scene (there was a lovely black and white photo of a Gone with the Wind scene of which I took a picture) but decided not to make any more fun of my bffM. 

I have actually loaded many, many more photos, but got too lazy about explaining it all so you're getting just the more interesting or what she didn't include on her blog already :)





Local color.  I think this is fairly creative.  Dahlonega is home to the first gold rush in the U.S.  I am pretty sure this wasn't what she had in mind, but I was trying to use the other side of my brain for a change.






Put on your imagination cap.  "Do what the sign says."  I do know what she was thinking or smoking when she put this one on there given that we are both well beyond the age to act out anything these days.  Again, I definitely think extra creativity points, especially when you think of who was coming up with it.  Come on, work with me here.




Adding this one is probably slightly unfair, but since I am totally jealous of her new 40D all's fair I figure.  This was her first day of playing with so she fought with it all day.  Couldn't resist the shot because it was such a key element of our absolutely perfect day together...fried chicken and all.  Thanks, Molly.

  1. It even looked like the camera was getting the better of me. I am still finding it hard to go back and forth...I forget how to change ISO everytime on the new one.

    It was a good day, though. I think my favorite part was the conversation. I did not know you lay on the floor.

  2. This sounds like so fun. It's cool to make fun of Molly's list, but I found it creative. I wouldn't be able to come up with anything fun if I had done it. Good Job, Molly!

    Glad you enjoyed each other.
