Photo Hunt Challenge #3 ~ My Results

Would you believe I accidentally dropped my camera in such a way that the darn thing is irreparable? That happened on August 2nd while on vacation in the mountains of Colorado.  Talk about a major bummer, not to mention bad timing at the start of a new Photo Hunt Challenge! Anyway, I was able to briefly borrow my dad's camera to try to complete the Challenge, but I am also supplementing the list with a few photos I took at the end of July that inspired some of the items I include in this challenge.  Hope that isn't a problem, but what else can I do without a camera?! Here are my photos, but please don't forget to check out the other Participant Entries!!!

    2. A Road or Pathway (near Colorado River in Austin, TX)

so sad about your camera. I hope you didn't lose any pictures. Your hunt results were terrific. Your amusement shot made me laugh right out loud. The fools gold is cool too. All the pictures for this hunt are so interesting.

Great Job Kristi.. way to get it done without your own camera! commitment!!

I threw my camera away on accident in March. I have mourned it's passing ever since. I've had to make do with a cheapy for Walmart until I can replace it.
Great job with your photo's though. And very creative. When my little girl saw your domestic shot she shouted, "mommy we should by that purple house." She keeps making me scroll back to it. It's by far her favorite!

That is a huge bummer about your camera! Ouch! Your photos are terrific. I love the look of the clunker car and the fountain. Those are my two favorites!

Bummer about breaking your camera. I dropped mine while on vacation, but I just dented the lens a little bit (thank goodness).

Love your shots. The fence shot and the clunker are two of my favorites.

the clunker and the squirrel were awesome! loved them all though. Sorry about your camera...that really stinks. I tried to clean the inside of mine when we went on vacation a few weeks ago and kinda messed it up a little...it still "WORKS" but I need to take it to a camera shop and see if they can't do a REAL cleaning on it....yikes. LOL

I Love, Love your pictures!!! Can't wait to do some voting. :) A few of yours that stuck out to me... the fountain, the fence, a symbol (I love stars!), the black and white photo, and something domestic (that house is SO cute!). Good luck with your pictures.

For some strange reason I want cheesecake now... lol

Kristi -- that stinks about your camera! You still managed to finish though, which is really cool. And you got some great photos, too. I liked -- clunker, amusement, rural, miniature, gold. Good stuff!

[Lisa's Chaos]

They're all phenomenal! duh! The squirrel still has me giggling. :) You had a great trip!

[Jamie]

Great pictures Kristi! All are really good. Again, this was a lot of fun to do...Thanks for hosting.

I have to like Your Something Silver - it´s Finnish product. I could have used it as something local...

Your b&w pic is lovely.

Sorry about Your camera.

Nice pics. My favorites are the clunker car and the school supplies. I wasn't able to participate for this one. I knew I'd just be too busy. Sometime in the future I will again though!

Great entries! Your delicious entry is making me have a craving!!

[Timo]

And what a great photos you have here! Of course the line of Finlandia vodka bottles caught my eye... ^_^

Also liked a lot of pathway, fence and suburban.
