The 3rd Artist Trifecta Photo Scavenger Hunt took place Dec 4th and 5th – a 24 hour affair that started at noon on Saturday and ended at noon on Sunday. There were 13 clues one of which was shoes. This hunt, like the others, was a lot of fun in spite of minimal sleep and the cold and the wind waiting for sunrise (that didn’t come thanks to the clouds) on Sunday.

This shot was one of the candidates for “shoes” that I did not submit.

What's Behind The Green Door...

Read the clue, find the item, take the picture.  On December 4, Artist Trifecta (Atlanta) will hold another Photo Scavenger Hunt.  I had a lot of fun on the ones in June and September and this one promises to be even better.  The last two were 12 hour races….this one is 24.  Click here to read more about it.

As you can tell by the post dates, it’s been a while since I’ve added anything here – been busy with all kinds of things including a road trip to Idaho.

A summer storm was approaching as I drove up US 30 through Bear Lake Valley.  The first shot was taken a few miles north of Montpelier, ID.  Rainbow Train was taken just west of Jerome, ID.  The lightening strike occurred  approximately 50 miles south east of Boise.  I just happened to have my camera pointed at the clouds and my finger on the shutter button when the strike occurred.
