How many of you venture out for our weekly photo challenges? Or do you hunt through your archives? Me, I usually rummage through my archives. I will admit, it’s fun, bringing back great memories. And having a reason to do that search is even better. So, this week, I challenge you to a virtual scavenger hunt!
Listed below are 20 options. Do a deep dive into your archives, going back as far as you want to find the items. Some examples are:
Something with wavy lines:
Something with a camera:
Something with a wheel:
Something with a cool shadow:
Something with a smooth texture:
Below are more suggestions. You can choose from those or from what I’ve posted. Please find at least five images but no more than 10, and just one image from each suggestion. This would give you a maximum of 10 images in your post. Part of this challenge is choosing which to post!
Zig zag lines
Something with green eyes
Some cool jewelry
Something circular
Something rectangular
Something with a design
Something with a pattern
Something with a bumpy texture
Something with a soft texture
Something with water in it
A set of keys
Something glass
A zipper
Shoelaces
Art supplies
Now, if you have a deep desire to look for these outside, please do so. You can also mix it up between inside and outside. Just don’t post a picture that doesn’t relate to any of these items. Be creative and bold. Most of all, have fun! Please be sure to link back to my original post and use the Lens-Artists tag. I want to check out each and every post to see what you scavenged.
Thanks, Beth, for getting us in a sports mood last week. Next week Ritva will be back so be sure to look for her post. In the meantime, stay safe and live in gratitude.

What a great idea for a challenge, Anne! A scavenger hunt! I love your selections of lines, textures and patterns.
Believe it or not, my “Under Construction” theme this week, works for many of the items on the list. See you tomorrow!
