best idea ever: photo scavenger hunt

Brilliant! I love the idea of a photo scavenger hunt… this one is over at My Best Friend’s a Dork. I’m missing one photo: a knitter other than myself knitting in public. I didn’t go out of my way to look for someone (there weren’t any organized knitting events for Knitting in Public Day last Saturday in NYC), but I carried my camera everywhere for two weeks in case I saw someone. Here we go:

An ice cream truck. I live in Brooklyn, so they are everywhere all the time. This one is near Coney Island…

Ice Cream Truck

A sock, handknit or not. This is in the window of PINK in Copley Place, Boston…

A Sock

A library card. These are my two NYC library cards - you need one for the regular branch libraries and one to enter the research libraries (I use it to watch the taping of theatre shows)…

My Library Cards

A ball of green yarn. This yarn is destined to be socks for my father for Christmas, but it’s currently just torturing me…

Green Yarn for Socks!

A bicyclist. This is my father at Coney Island earlier today; I took the photo while riding my own bicycle…

Dad!

A street sign. I never spent much time in the theatre district of Boston while I lived in Andover, but I just remounted RFK at the Stuart Street Playhouse…

South Charles and Stuart

A flower. These beautiful paper flowers were found in a window on either Newbury or Boylston…

Paper Flowers

A public work of art. Strange stone chairs just south of Boston Common…

Stone Chairs

Your reflection in an unexpected place. When I went out on the balcony of the hotel in Boston to photograph my ball of green yarn I found a beautiful reflection of the Hancock Building and the Prudential Building behind me…

Me

Someone in a catalog pose. This man was highly suspicious of me and my camera…

Suspicious Man Posing

A funny billboard or sign. Upon first glance I thought this said “EYES”…

EYES

I would ABSOLUTELY do this again - it was so much fun! Maybe I’ll organize one myself someday…
