Another week and no news on the adoption front. What better to do than keep myself occupied than with the Scavenger Hunt Sunday? Here are my interpretations for this week!
Button: I spend a lot of time with these buttons. Probably too much time...
Favorite Fruit: I live in the Midwest and I get so excited for this time of year because that means Honey Crisp and Granny Smith Apples!
Map: When I was 20 years old, I promised myself every year I would go somewhere I've never been whether it be domestic or international. I've kept that promise to myself so far and one of the ways I keep track is by highlighting where I've gone in the book 1,000 Places To See Before You Die. Oh, and that's a bookend I picked up in Nairobi :)
Vision: I grew up playing the piano. I'm SO THANKFUL my mom made me learn. My vision is that my sweet Munni will learn to play!
Happy Sunday!!

Strong: I trolled Craigslist for months to find this 1906 beauty!! However it took 5 really big guys, a lot of sweat and even more determination to get it into my house. Times like these I'm glad I'm a woman :)

Love the shot of the apples - that's a great bowl. Really like the dof you used on those piano keys too.
ReplyDeleteLOVE THEM ALL! That piano pic is incredible. And I love the apple one.... What a great idea to shoot the book. And what a neat book! :) I am sooo happy for you about the piano!!!!!! And so glad you had some such guys around to help you out.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Kristen. I really like "strong".
ReplyDeleteA great set of photos - especially the piano keys! We moved two pianos so I know what a job that is.
ReplyDeleteHoneycrisp are the best apples, hands down! I have the 1000 places to see book too - I need to read through it again!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful series. I, too, chose a TV remote for buttons b/c I spend too much time with them :) The piano is gorgeous and I'm thoroughly jealous that it's in your house instead of mine :D
ReplyDeleteWonderful, creative shots! I love the piano.
ReplyDeleteI know that "joy" of piano moving. I always feel bad for the people doing it. I think it's great the challenge you made to travel. why didn't I think of that? My fave is the fruit shot. Beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteWonderful set.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Piano in your Strong shot.
Buttons - Now that's a familiar sight.
Map - Interesting sounding book and how lucky you've been to be able to travel.
Favorite Fruit - This I think is my favorite from your set this week.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Great shots - love the composition in Fruit!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, as usual! You have a great eye for composition.

I use "1,000 Places to See" as my guide to future travels as well. AND..."To Kill a Mockingbird" is my fav all-time book. Are you sure you didn't sneak into MY house and take photo???? :)
ReplyDeleteIt does seem as if you live a very interesting life! I love the piano.
ReplyDeleteThat piano is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the vintage, well loved, piano and your shots. Very well done with this week's words.
ReplyDeleteStrong is such a great shot... nothing more fun than a bunch of strong men moving a piano! =) just read your adoption time lines... exciting!! many blessings to you in 2013!! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you to hear great news and for God to speed your sweet girl home to you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
