Virtual Scavenger Hunt

“Creativity is a scavenger hunt. It’s your obligation to pay attention to clues, to the thing that gives you that little tweak.” – Elizabeth Gilbert

Anne’s challenge this week is a ‘Virtual Scavenger Hunt’—how fun is that? I’ve been digging through my photo archives and smiling at all the memories that popped up along the way. So, come and join me!

Something circular—the magnificent Astronomical Clock in Prague. Its details are stunning, and its beauty truly timeless. I know there’s a long and fascinating story behind all those dials, the sun, moon, and months, but honestly, it gets a bit confusing. Better I just admire it than risk explaining it all wrong!

Something with water—a puddle reflection I found in the Cotswolds. Believe me, it took ages (and a lot of awkward angles!) before I finally got it this clear.

Zigzag—the Liberty Bridge in Budapest, captured at night, its glowing lights tracing bold zigzag lines across the river.

Green eyes—a striking mural in Melbourne, its gaze impossible to miss.

With design—Gaudí’s Casa Batlló in Barcelona, a true masterpiece. Its flowing curves, vibrant colors, and whimsical details make the whole building feel alive with imagination.

Bumpy texture—a sculpture I spotted in a charming shop in Sassafras, full of character and tactile detail.

Glass—in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles, where sparkling chandeliers catch and scatter the light.

    These are wonderful shots on their own, regardless of the photo challenge. And from all over the world!
    That shot at the Cotswolds intrigued me the most, because I’ve been there and never thought of shooting this angle!

      Well just lucky that it rained the day before. Thanks Nes.

    Wonderful set Teresa! I’ve really enjoyed the responses this week because they are all so on-point and so different from each other. Your green-eyed cat is my favorite this week.
