Scavenger Hunt

Mar 13, 2009 18:23

As previously mentioned, we've got a new camera. I'm not terribly comfortable with it yet, and it has all kinds of complicated features I don't understand at all. So I need practice ( Read more... )

Desert wildflowers.

This isn't flowering, at the moment, and actually I don't know if it does flower, but it's the closest I can get to desert just now.

Ok, here's a kind-of complicated one...

When you go for a walk, are there any things you see that you wouldn't necessarily see in other parts of the country? I'm thinking of common things like air conditioner units, or artsy manhole covers, or mailboxes of unusual design. I don't know the first thing about where you live, so if you told me in pictures, we'd both know more.

"...the only place Caltrain and the VTA share a stop...."

Not quite; they also join up again at San Jose Diridon station.

Picture of you? :) How about a really interesting/cool/odd ramp or other access feature?

Ramp tiger_spot March 21 2009, 07:38:06 UTC

A ramp! The ramp itself is not all that interesting, but the mural and overall color scheme are kinda neat.

Nice! Thanks, I hope the request wasn't too boring.

Re: Ramp tiger_spot March 22 2009, 17:25:33 UTC

Not boring at all.

I wanted to get a photo of the Caltrain wheelchair loading device, but the train moves fast.

Perhaps a picture of the hamster that goes with the chickens? That might be tricky, though, since I don't think I've ever even seen him, just his triangular prism.

What immediately came to mind was a native flowering plant (with i.d.) somewhere in town.

Something that'll give me feelings of home-longing, if you have a chance before I get back?

It's not a hamster, it's a guinea pig. I haven't seen his box out there for months now. I hope he's okay.

cobalt_00 March 14 2009, 18:54:22 UTC

I know - I kept worrying that someone was going to move the box around when it was out on the lawn, before I knew what was inside (and how resistant it might be to said movement). This did, however, make me feel like I got an in-joke for once. Whee!

I would like to see pictures of spring blossoms. I'm not getting time to get out there and take any, so someone should. Otherwise - pictures of something that brings you joy.

Spring Blossoms tiger_spot March 17 2009, 05:40:43 UTC

Most of what I'm noticing right now is trees.

Spring (er, the season, I mean)
Something tiny and impossibly perfect and beautiful
The tooth fairy
Menacing shadows

(Sorry, I've had about two drinks, and believe me I needed them so I'm not exactly sorry about that *part* of it, but that means I'm now posting somewhat randomly, which is indeed the part I'm apologizing about, so if these suggestions turn out to suck, feel free to ignore them. (Wow, what a sentence.))

Re: Spring cjsmith March 17 2009, 16:33:04 UTC

Nifty! I don't think I've ever seen "a spring" (the noun) in the wild, so to speak. I've gone to hot-springs type of places, and Yellowstone, and the like, but I've never noticed a spring when walking by it. This reminds me how much is around us every day that we may or may not notice. :-)

Re: Spring tiger_spot March 18 2009, 04:06:16 UTC

This one would have been hard to miss, since it was right in the middle of the path.
