Summer photo hunt - results!

Post by Sushidragon »

Thanks so much for sharing your summery images :D It defnitely worked because now it’s toooo hot here XD Oh well, that’s what summer is all about!

Random has decided that 1610 will be going home with Codress and 1611 will be going home with SilverDapples :D Congrats, and they’ll grow up in about a week!

Here’s the modiems for everyone as well, which should be added before the end of the day:

Janalee - Species
Esperanza - Breeding
ElvenArcher - Species
FoxyJhai - Trait
Codress - Breeding
Dementia - Rarity
Jaes - Trait
amazondreamer - Rarity
Seren - Trait
RikkuGirl - Species
SilverDapples - Rarity

Now time for me to go get some more water D:

--

Summer is almost here! ..well, according to the calendar, at least. Today it’s been cold and rainy and feels like early spring again! Maybe hunting for some summery photos will help bring the warm weather back? Not too warm though, I’m a bit of a heat wimp XD

Your task is to take a photo of each of the items on the list! Two winners will randomly be selected for these two foals:
Image Image
Looks like the Song of the Rainbow piled on the modiems to make these foals pure Kirins!

In addition, all entrants will receive a random modiem, and other random prizes may be given out as well :D

Here's the list of things that you'll need to get photos of:

1 - Sun or a clear blue sky
2 - The beach!
3 - A fan
4 - Delicious fruits and/or veggies
5 - A seasonal treat

Just remember that the list doesn't need to be taken completely literally. For example, if you’re not anywhere near a beach, you could take a photo of a photo of the beach or a photo of a majestic puddle!

Rules!

- In each photo, please include a piece of paper with your username on it.
- The photos don't need to be taken around your house, they could be at work or just out wherever, as long as you take them yourself!
- If your photos are very large and you're unable to resize, please link to them instead.
- To enter the draw, just post all of your photos in this thread!
- You are welcome to edit your post before the end of the event.

To enter, just post your photos here! The photo hunt will be open until June 20, 1pm PDT - good luck!

Um....could beach be like...a...loose definition of a beach? Like a rocky shore around a lake or river? Because Munich, Germany is pretty far from any actual seaside beaches. XD

(Also those baby Kirins are so cute I wanna scream)

Those foals are absolutely adorable!

I'm actually going whale watching on Saturday and we have tentative plans for the beach as well, so hopefully I remember to snap some pictures.

The items to be photographed are waaaay open to interpretation! The beach one was actually my example for how the list doesn't need to be taken completely literally since I know most people aren't going to have access to a beach XD You could take a photo of a photo of a beach, or a puddle (teeny tiny bug beach?), put some rocks beside the bathtub (a very private beach with a very rocky shore), etc!

I have a beach in my area, but I would really like to show off the giant bluffs we jump into the lake here. Would that be okay? I could include both if needed. ^^

@Dementia - I would love to see those pictures either way!? o.o;; maybe you can still take both? ^^

I could do the beach for the beach photo and the bluffs for the blue sky one? I think that would work? :)

1 - Sun or a clear blue sky
Image

2 - The beach!
Image
(Because water, a seashell, sand(stone), and a swimsuit coverup equals beach, yes? XD It was that, or 'The beech!', so I think we can all count ourselves lucky. *crooked grin*)

3 - A fan
Image

4 - Delicious fruits and/or veggies
Image

5 - A seasonal treat
Image
(Black raspberries and walking barefoot are about the only things that justify the existence of summer to me, anyway! Though, combining the two...maybe not entirely advisable? XP)


I'd almost forgotten how much I enjoy the photo hunts- thanks for bringing them back, Sushi! :D I can't wait to see all the other entries!

1. Sun or Clear Blue Sky. It's rarely ever fully clear over here, but it was an incredibly sunny day. uwu
Image
2. The beach! Yeah.. Have this poopy beach drawing because sadly I am no where near one.
Image
3. A fan! My life source during the summer.
Image
4. Delicious fruits or veggies! Celery, tomatoes, all stored in the fridge.
Image
5. A seasonal treat. Not necessarily seasonal, but it is for me. I rarely get to eat cereal when I'm away at school (because I have to only get ready and run to class) so summer is the main time I have it.

5 - A seasonal treat.
Candy Corn is my favorite Fall candy. Most of the time we have tons left over because I make myself sick eating it and don't want anymore. Haha

Loving some of these photos!

Our whale watching/beach trip was lots of fun, and I managed to get all but one of the photos I needed.

1. Sun or a clear blue sky
Got this while on the whale watching boat.
Image

2. The beach!
The beach was really nice, but it was really windy so we all ended up covered in sand.
Image

3. A fan
The one photo I didn't get at the beach.
Image

4 - Delicious fruits and/or veggies
Our extra yummy watermelon.
Image


5. A seasonal treat
My niece was kind enough to let me get a photo of her raspado before she started eating it.
Image

And if anyone is interested, here's a short video of the blue whale we saw.

Wonder of the Glorious Midnight insisted upon accompanying me on this little excursion, and is vouching for me ;) We went to a local park and had a nice little hike, then went in to town and got desert!

1 - Sun or a clear blue sky.
Image

2 - The beach! Okay, so it's a little crick, but still, it has a bank? It was too cute to pass up, and I'm actually sitting on a fallen log spanning the crick to take that shot
Image

3 - A fan. Back at home cooling off after a warm afternoon
Image

4 - Delicious fruits and/or veggies. I stopped and got a cup of sorbet topped with all sorts of yummy fruit- kiwis, strawberries, pinaple and blueberries. And a little whipcream cause I earned it!
Image

5 - A seasonal treat. To me, being able to walk barefoot in the grass is one of the true pleasures of summer, and definitely qualifies as a seasonal treat!

Blue Sky
A bit of blue sky at the Königplatz! (There's been very little blue skies here!)

Beach
This is the beach I wanted to photograph at the Eibsee, but it rained and we couldn't go! :c

Fan
Polish enjoying her custom-made fan!

Fresh Fruit
fresh raspberries (Himbeere) are a very popular ice cream topping in Germany!

Seasonal Treat
Spargel Soup Packets for my mom in the states!

Spargel (white asparagus) is a very popular seasonal dish in Germany, but it's typically only served/available between May and early June. My family isn't coming to visit until July, so I picked up some limited edition Spargel soup packets for my mom since she was sad she missed it!

These are not high quality, I'm sorry, I've had no free time! It was still fun to do- I love our Sam photo hunts! I love looking at everyone else's photos too!

Summer of the Improbable Snow decided to join me for this years photohunt! :D She couldnt resist, given her name! :3 <3

1 - Sun or a clear blue sky
Image
Extra! :D I love the sun in FL <3
Image
2 - The beach! :3
We are right in front of a canal that has its own little bank. Idk, I just think its a nice view and I get to wake up to it every day. :3 I'm blessed to feel like I live on water. I also included one of a picture I took this weekend that didnt come out too well. :/ But it was a nice day at the beach! :)
Image
Image
3 - A fan -
This is a decoration at my desk in my office! :D It is one of my most favorite things ever and it was only $1 at the dollar store. lol Go figure, it's the simple things in life that can mean the most. ^_^ My friend Carebear has a purple one just like it! :D <333
Image
4 - Delicious fruits and/or veggies -
Since I dont have any at my house or at work, besides my co-workers lunch, I have decided to go the cheap way with this picture. Though I REALLY like the picture. ^_^;; It's fruits and veggies in a rainbow! :D <3
Image
5 - A seasonal treat -
POLAR POPS!!! These are like a staple in my summers because they are cheap and you get a bunch of soda! :D Yay! You cant go wrong! They should be getting cheaper in price too since it isnt season anymore! (our's is backwards! lol no one is here at this time!) ALSO a treat is that there are no snow birds down here! Our roads are MUCH less crowded, it's great for getting to work on time every day! :D Woooo 2 treats! lol
