Sunday scavenger hunt

Okay I'm not gonna lie, I totally forgot about the scavenger hunt until yesterday, so I was scrambling a bit to get the photos I needed!  So some of them are a bit of a stretch.  Oh well!  I swear next week I'm going to be on top of it.  Really.

(1) Black and white

We took the baby to the beach for a few minutes, but she was so tired (read: cranky) and soooo serious so we had to leave, but I just love this photo of her and her daddy.
 
(2) I ate this. 

Now by "I," I mean "Riley."  She has discovered her toes, so they are ALWAYS in her hands, and she now discovered she can suck on her toes as well.  So she constantly sucks on her big toe.  She sucks on her toes when she's playing, when I try and change her diaper, when she wakes up, when I'm trying to feed her (which clearly is not going to work very well).  All the time, she looks like this.  So maybe it's a stretch, but here she is, "eating" her toes.

(3) Historic

I don't really know a whole lot about what's historic in New Zealand, so I had to ask my husband for some suggestions.  Turns out, the place we went to take pictures this past weekend is a historic site (Battle Hill, site of a famous 1846 battle).  But it would figure that I didn't actually take any pictures while we were there (I was too busy sneezing and getting a million bug bites).  So I had to use a picture from my archives.  This was taken a while ago after I graduated from Stanford.  This is the memorial church on the Stanford campus, and this is where we got married!!!

(4) Off center.

Now I know this was meant to be about composition, BUT, as I was looking through the photos I took this week, this one made me think of "off-center."  Riley is trying so hard to sit up on her own, but just does not quite have the balance thing down yet.  So saying she's a bit "off center" is an understatement! (Just after this photo she toppled over...)  And don't you love the huge string of drool? :)

(5) The end.

OK so this is a bit of a stretch... The end of the rainy day produced a rainbow?  The end of the weekend? Looking for the end of the rainbow?  The end of this blog post?  :)
