June 2010 Photo Hunt Challenge

Here is another photo challenge - I may be late for June (depends if they accept it) - but I thought it would be fun to post on my blog none-the-less.... I will just be going into my June archives and see what I can find - and I am glad that I took a ton of photos in June!

Next photo hunt challenge is in August and I will be ready!  :)

You've got some beautiful photos here. I especially love the night scene shot - the colors are spectacular. I don't typically do selective color either, but I'm always looking for a good challenge so my current challenge is showing ways to do it well (because I believe there has to be a way, right).

I hope you'll continue joining my own scavenger hunt as well. I've decided to publicly follow you so I can continue enjoying your photographs.

You live and wander in a beautiful part of the world, I see. I like your sweet dreams -- isn't it amazing how teenagers can sleep anywhere, anytime? I also love your play shot. That's awesome. :)

Simply amazing photos! Totally brings me back to my New England gals days. I am a transplate New England gal in the south and while I like the southern lifestyle, there is nothing like New England! It's in my soul!
