So I had a very exciting start to the week! I uploaded my laundry shot from last weeks Scavenger Hunt onto Flickr, and I got "Explored"!!! (Insert screaming and
happy dance here!) Now I don't really understand how Explore works, I
understand it's determined by an algorithm. The next morning I wasn't on
there anymore, but for a few hours I was, and it was very exciting and
very cool!
Anyway, having said that I've been in a photography funk all week, yep go figure. I've felt so uninspired and behind with things. On Friday I hardly had any prompts done and thought I'd be stressing out all weekend, then in 24 hrs I just surprised myself by getting it all done. Funny how things work out! :-)
1. Stacked Up
I couldn't decide which to put up. I took them both for the prompt.
Coins, or
Gelati cups!
2. Winter Wonderland

This is from the archives but I think you'll forgive me considering it's summer here and it's actually been the hottest weather here in four years. But even in winter we don't get snow and rarely frosts.
Anyway I did this photo for Christmas 2010. It's a snowman figurine in front of a story book. Then I edited to make it look really cold and frosty. I think it makes it look like a magical winter wonderland! By the way I loved this song when I was little.
3. Sweet
Tea party with cupcakes! My son's on school holidays so we've been having some fun!
4. Hole
I love the colours of these paper straws! You drink your yummy drink through the hole! ;-)
5. Frozen
When I saw this prompt I knew I wanted to do an ice-cream desert. It's summer here after all. I'd never photographed ice cream before though and it was pretty nerve wracking how quickly it started melting in this heat. My mum gave me these dessert bowls, she didn't use them and I've loved them since I was a girl. I usually have these lights hung around a mirror but I think it makes it look festive. And the ice-cream and raspberries tasted so yummy!!
Can't wait to see everyone's interpretations for the week!

Love your interpretation for every prompt. This also reminded me that I have even started on SHS. Eek!
Totally love the "coins" stacking. Quite lovely. And I don't know what being "explored" on Flickr means, but keeping in mind your photography I'm guessing it is quite fabulous! :) So congrats!

These are wonderful photographs for the prompts Sara.
I especially love "Hole."
So nicely done.
This really is such a beautiful set that perfectly matches the prompts. I so wanted to join in this week for the first time in months, but I just couldn't get it together. Maybe, if I keep checking other people's post I will feel inspired to start shooting again.
I think I like the cups so colorful over the coins. Nicely done
Such great interpretations - I love what you've done with those straws. And those lights work so well with the desserts - beautiful.
Sorry I meant to add - mega congrats on the Explore! I was jumping around like a crazy woman when I got one :O)
First, congrats on getting 'explored', how fun! I love your coins for stacked, really great - and the last two are fabulous. The straw one is so dreamy!
I love the overall festive mood you've managed to create!! The straws are SO amazing...I'm really loving that shot! 'Frozen', too...the sparkly prettiness, and basic yumminess of it all, is simply fabulous!!! Truly, a wonderful set this week :)
I think I should have paid tickets to view these photos - truly, they're wonderful. Particularly love your stacked, hole and frozen photos. Thanks so much for your work in this - what a delight.
Fantastic interpretations. Love them all and I think 'holes' is my favourite.
This is a really great set! I really love your stacked and hole photos
Wow! All great shots! I especially liked sweet and frozen... maybe because I am hungry and they look so delicious! I'm trying to develop my photography and sites like yours give me so much inspiration, following now!
So sweet and lovely!!! <3
Great shots...love those straws!
These are just lovely! I bet you are at a slight loss for all these winter prompts, but you did so well! Have a great week!
Beautiful work. I especially love your "hole" & "frozen" shots.
Great job in just 24 hours!
Oh these are all so very lovely. I love the tone of each of them. The ice cream shot is probably my favorite this week. So yummy!!
What a sweet series of shots! I am so in love with straws- Makes me want to purchase some pretty straws!
Wow, every single one is great! My favorite though is the straws. I love the color and the softness...it's perfection :)
So gorgeous!!!! Love them all and your style is wonderful. My favorite might be the straws...so delicate, and of course frozen. Ice cream is my biggest weakness.
WOW WOW WOW - I Adore the straws and and your coins - LOVE!
Wonderful set!! My favorites are the coin stack and the straws... wow on the straws!!! Have a great week!
I am REALLY loving the colors in your 'sweet, hole & frozen' shots! AMAZING!
Oh Sara you have such great ideas for the hunt....can't pick a favourite. Congrats on getting featured on explore - I had a little look at your laundry shot as I wasn't doing the hunt and I can see why it got picked up for it's 'interestingness' for explore.
What beautiful and creative photos. I struggle to pick a favorite.
What gorgeous photo's. I love the way you edited all of them. Do you mind if I ask if you are using a certain action set on your photo's?
Creative genius - beautiful work this week. Really beautiful.
Your shots this week are amazing. I Love your hole shot.. So cool!!!
Hugs, Linda
Good grief! These are all beautiful!
love the hole shot.
Oh Sara, how I love you! These are so lovely, I feel like I've died and gone to heaven! :)
Really like both of your stacked up shots.
love your photos! Especially the straws!

Love these. I love the first two and the last three. Okay I love them all. Gorgeous.
Beautiful! I love those coins and the last two are just dreamy! I can see them both hanging in a vintage ice cream shoppe!
I'll take gelato cups over money any day!!! Wonderful set, enjoy your boys holidays!
Awesome pictures. I like the stacked coins! I love the ice cream shot at the end and your creativity in creating a Winter Wonderland photo! Super Job!
Beautiful, simple beautiful. Congrats on Explore, I would be dancing as well.
When I grow up, I want to be a great photographer as you are :)
All of these are wonderful. My favorite is the abstract of the straws!
Your straw shot is fabulous! All of the shots are great, nice job!
Sara...seriously.....you NEED to be working professionally.....i'm NOT kidding. You have an eye for styling. These are so fabulous.
Gorgeous set! I love every one.
What a phenomenal set- GREAT JOB!
Oh, my, Sara. Now I'm craving sweets and may have to go searching for something to satisfy my sweet tooth. ::drool::
