Saturday's Photo Scavenger Hunt



The theme for today is "Wild" I am not sure if it is for things living in the wild or doing wild things. Bald Eagle Living in the wild

Great Blue Heron


People acting wild Polar Bear swim and the waves being wild. What a great combination!

You covered all sides with these pictures!

Ingrid said...

Thanks to Sir "Mudgeon" for the tip to come visit.
I'm so glad you enjoyed my blog. I started it as a place to whine and work out some "issues" but it's turning in to a lot of fun as I'm meeting new people! That's been such a huge plus for me.

Your photos are awesome! You have a wonderful family and your girls are lovely. I especially like the photo of your dog looking through the window!

I was raised in Orange County when it was the boondocks and there were still orange groves. I used to amble through them with my dog and explore. I despise being cooped up on a city lot.

We're hoping to move up to Tehachapi which is just about 45 miles east of Bakersfield but the altitude is much higher and will get us out of this nasty air down here.

It's amazing that it's such a small world, isn't it?

Blessings,
Gracie

Wow wild birds! Totally awesome.

Barbara said...

Hi there,

Yeah, you got your wild categories !
Both are great. I would have enjoyed being able to see real wild birds near home. That's COOL !

Take care ;)

My favourites are the blue heron & the waves going wild. Wonder if I dare wear my patent shoes? :-)

Great photos! Although the wildlife in the bottom one is a bit scary...

Caylynn said...

Great shots! All of those are definitely wild. :) The great thing about the photo hunt is that we can interpret the theme any way we want!

Thanks for stopping by and have a good weekend. :)

Dragonheart, Merlin, Devi, and Chloe said...

Terrific photos. They all look wild, although that last one looks a little crazy!

Patti said...

Great pictures! We have bald eagles and herons here, too-pretty darn far away from you.

GEWELS said...

Gorgeous eagle shot.
Are those people crazy? Love the "acting wild" interpretation.
Thanks for stopping by.

Mike said...

Great pics for this weeks hunt. Bald eagles are one thing I don't have any pictures of.

Martie said...

GREAT photos......espcially the wild and crazy one at the bottom...... LOL

Hope this finds you feeling somewhat better. Hugs from Michigan!

Shelby said...

Love the idea of showing several sides of wild - and your choices for people gone wild.

I will be back later to read.

Thanks for reading my blog and commenting.

Carole Burant said...

Terrific pictures to show the differences of what "wild" can mean!! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend Mary Ann!! Hugs xox

You've definitely got my vote on the "wild" with the polar dip in the water thing! Way more nerve than I have as I cringe at water that is even slightly cold in the summer time, much less in polar bear weather. The bird pictures though - super! Great comparisons there. (I didn't know till about 2 years ago that there are some bald eagles living at a state park about 40 miles from here. Geez, I should have figured it was possible since a town near this park is named "Bald Eagle." DUH! How dumb can I get?)

LibertyBelle said...

All three of those pictures are fabulous! I've never seen a Heron before - wonderful!
Great choices for the hunt.
Thanks for dropping by
Happy weekend!

Awesome Eagle and Blue Heron pics! But even more awesome is the pic with the Loons! Just kidding polar bears are cool (no pun intended)! Happy hunting :)

Motherkitty said...

Just stopped by to say "hi". Thanks for the recent message. I appreciate the concern expressed. Still "recovering" my mental equilibrium so have not been around much. Getting better all the time.

Email me so we can "talk."

Sally said...

Love that last photo, but the wild life is very cool.

Lisa said...

I think you have captured the theme perfectly. I love to see photos of animals in the wild (and I don't mean the human type). But I do love to see people doing what they love and if they means they will go wild in the cold water - good for them!!

Love the picture of the bald eagle, there was a great web cam that someone set up near where I live that showed a pair of eagles sitting on their nest.

Puss-in-Boots said...

Hi RN, thank you for coming and wishing me happy birthday.

I love your photographs, but the one of the polar bear swim made me shudder. I'm afraid I don't like the cold at all - I'm a hothouse flower who lives in the subtropics of Australia.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

For those of you who have commented on the Polar bear swim, if you check out the sidebar on my blog there is title "Polar bear swim" it is a 19 sec clip of the swim...I am the one in the black swim suit just coming out at the end of the clip....so yeah it was kind of wild and crazy for me!

Thanks to everyone for dropping by....it's been a fun day!!!

Teena in Toronto said...

My sister and I did a Polar Bear swim on New Years Day a couple years ago ... in Cancun. Ha!

Thanks for stopping by mine :)

srp said...

Thanks for the visit.
Just looking at the "Polar Bear Plunge" makes me shiver. I think they have one scheduled here in Virginia Beach, but not until February and the air should be a bit warmer.
Welcome to the hunt.

TJ said...

Loved your "wild" pics!!
:-D

Unknown said...

You certainly covered many aspects of wild, I especially loved the picture of the bald eagle.

:-)

Mitey Mite said...

Great take on the theme, and thank you for NOT showing girls gone wild in New Orleans!
