It is preferred that you take your photos between today and June 30th.  If for some reason you are stuck on the 30th without a few of the items on your list, then you can use a maximum of two photos from your archives, as long as they were taken less than one year ago. 

It is up to you whether you post your photos on your blog as you go, or wait until  June 30th to unveil them and make it a surprise.  One thing I ask is that everyone who participates posts all 25 photos in one single post on their blogs or in a set in an online gallery by June 30th.  (See all entries from Sweetsauer Photo Hunt #1)

A new post will go up here at www.sweetsauer.com on June 30th.  I will be using the Mr. Linky auto-link widget.  Anyone who completes the Photo Hunt will need to add their name & the permalink of where their Photo Hunt photos are posted.  Everyone who adds their name to the auto-link will have their photos considered for my Favorites.   After I go through all of the participants' entries, I will post my favorite photos for each of the 25 items on the list in a separate blog post with a poll for each (See all of the Favorites from Sweetsauer Photohunt #1).  Please note that I will not include archived photos in my favorites (it hardly seems fair!)  Anyone who votes is encouraged to vote based on their favorite photo, not just for a particular photographer. Voting is also open to anyone and everyone.

If you would like to participate, please sign-up by adding your name and blog url to the Mr. Linky widget below.  If you would like to recruit others for the Sweetsauer.com Photo Hunt or announce your participation, please feel free to post the above badge on your blogs and remember to link back to this post.

Happy Hunting, I look forward to seeing everyone's photos at the end of the month!

ETA: You ARE allowed to use Photoshop or other photo-editing software as you'd like (it often adds to the artistic quality of the photo)

[Kristi S (sweetsauer)]

I know! Isn't it awesome? I just hope everyone follows through and
completes the list by the end!

[Kari Carpenter]

Hi there! I am usually just a lurker and somehow made it here a long time ago through Michelle's blog... not even sure how I ended up there, but anyway... I need a little motivation to just do some photo cool shot hunting and thought this sounded perfect! Im in and thank you so much for hosting this, it looks like so much fun!

[Kristi S (sweetsauer)]

Hi Kari and welcome to the Photo Hunt. Glad you signed up and I hope you
enjoy taking the pictures!
Thanks for also de-lurking and leaving a comment...I always appreciate
comments :)

[ShutterHappyJenn]

I will join! Thanks!

[Ria]

Hi!

I'd love to join too !!! Signed up with Mr. Linky!!!

[Kristi S (sweetsauer)]

Welcome aboard and have fun!

[Liz C.]

I'm so excited!! I had so much fun going out with my husband one weekend hunting for the perfect photos....I plan on going out again this weekend to check off quite a few, I can't wait to see all the results!!

[alexa]

You are going to be pretty busy going through everyone's to find your favorites. But thanks for taking the time. I had a ton of fun last time.

[Kristi S (sweetsauer)]

I know, can you believe how many people signed up?? How exciting!

[3GirlKnight]

Hello all. I'm thinking I'm in the minority here...being male and all. :) But I'd like to participate if that's ok with y'all.

A question though: I'm not seeing anything called 'Mr Linky' on the page. The very first time I opened it (a couple hours ago) I saw 3 or 4 columns of names. There's a heading describing a list of weblogs that reference this one, but there's no list.

Am I missing something?

Thanks and this is a great idea!!

[3GirlKnight]

Nevermind. It's working now! Awesome!

[Kristi S (sweetsauer)]

Welcome! I would love to have more guys join in on the Photo Hunt, its open
to everyone

[Sherrie]

Hi!
I want to join in again! I really had a great time shooting photos from the last photo hunt. I have posted about the HUNT at my place, Sherrie's Stuff. Have a great day!!

[Krisu]

Better late than never, I'm in!

[Gymi]

Count me in, sounds like fun.

[Bayou Boy 504]

This should be cool.

[3GirlKnight]

Thanks for following me Kristi! And this photohunt is harder than I thought it would be. It's fun! but it's sure taxing my puny imagination.

[Jan]

I'm back from vacation, and I'll give it my best shot. The sun flare thing is a head scratcher for me, especially with my point and shoot.

[Nancy Stolz]

Kristi- I was #30, but am now #64 as my blog has moved. Sorry if this caused you confusion.

[Shawna]

I wish I had a camera to play :( I broke mine.

[Bengbeng]

I am so excited. I just finished the 25 pics. However I might change some pics before the end of the month. The only problem I had was railway related as the only railway nearby is a few hrs flight away and across the South China Sea. For that I might have to use an archived pic. :) I will post when I have fine tuned it

[Rita @ Cashjocky and the Old Salt]

Kristi, I think I messed up. I went to add my entry to Mr. Linky and before I delete my normal URL and add my permelink my safari decided to act up and died. When I signed back on my link was posted and I am sure it is wrong.

It should be http://cashjocky.blogspot.com/2009/06/june-scavenger-hunt.htmlcan you fix it or should I redo my link correctly with the right.

Wanted to post early because I am leaving town tomorrow to play tour guide for out of state guess and will not be available next week.

[Nicole]

Done - hehe - and all of them fresh ones :D!!

[Nukke]

This looks very interesting !!!! Perhaps I'll join next time. I have been in Scavanger Photo Hunt 2.
Now I CHALLENGE YOU to show your Garage and Livingroom in your blog !!!!!! You'll find this Challange in my blog link. My blog is in English/Finnish/Swedish
How to leave comment is translated in left side and down in my page :) HAPPY hunting :)

[Bengbeng]

Oops. I made a mistake too. I should have added this on the linky http://www.mylongkang.com/2009/06/30/sweetsauer-photo-hunt-2/
instead of the home page to make it easier for everybody.

Mine is up of course :)

[The Laughing Idiot]

I just found out about this so I have one day to pull it all together. As I was looking through the list on Murrieta 365, I thought about all the pictures I've taken in the last month and I bet I can pull it off.

[samantha]

Do all photos need to be posted by 12am on the 30th? Or do we have until midnight on the 30th to post them all??

[Samantha]

Ok I'm DONE!! Wow! So exciting!!

[Jientje]

Mine is up, I made it after all!

[Kristi S (sweetsauer)]

Good luck!

You can still add your permalink up until probably July 2nd.  It will take me quite some time to go through all the entries!!
