Scavenger 2012 - #13 A Library

Doylestown Central Library has an interesting story. The library used to be located across from the Courthouse on Main Street. It had old wooden floors that creaked when walked on. It had no air conditioning so in the summer it was sweltering, and in the winter freezing. About ten years ago, the old Bucks County prison was scheduled to be torn down. It was then decided to not only relocate the library to that site but also build the James Michener Art Museum on the same tract. Today, we enjoy not only the library but many cultural events held at Michener.

Today, I learned that the library also offers original Artist's Trading Cards for $5.00 each in what looks like an old cigarette vending machine. I just had to take a photo of that!

Scavenger Hunt 2012 -- #9 A Fountain

While touring Doylestown looking for interesting things to photograph, I came across this fountain. It was sitting all alone on a busy street corner. Cars were whizzing past and it was difficult to capture the oddity of this fountain. It's not square, and it's not circular. It's just different. It is a war memorial but it doesn't actually say what war.

Before I found this fountain, I had to walk through a park and saw a small, shiny water fountain. So I took that photo just in case I didn't find a real fountain.

Here are my photos, and also a layout.

Scavenger Hunt 2012 -- #12 Labyrinth

Yesterday, I went to Doylestown, PA, the county seat for Bucks County. It is a quiet little town filled with lawyers, courthouses, and other legal entities. It also is home to a labyrinth which just happens to be on the 2012 Scavenger Hunt list. Here are a few of the photographs I took at the labyrinth, and a digital layout I made.

Scavenger Hunt 2012 -- #2 Clothesline

I didn't have to look far for a clothesline because I use one every week. It's right in my backyard. I hesitated whether to take the photo with clothes on it or empty. I chose empty because who wants to see bedsheets flapping in the wind? Well, maybe that would be a pretty sight.

I don't use the clothesline for everything--just the sheets (because they smell so good after flapping in the wind) and items that would shrink in the dryer.

Scavenger Hunt 2012 -- #11 A Shadow

It's a lovely, clear morning here with low humidity and plenty of sunshine. A perfect day for photo taking. I had to run an errand to Target this morning and was struck by the shadow on the balls in front of the store. Knowing that one of the items on the Scavenger Hunt list is a shadow, I took a photo of one of the balls. I was pleased with the how the photo turned out. In fact, I was so pleased I made a layout of the shadow.

If you didn't know about the balls in front of the Target stores, you'd have a hard time figuring out what exactly the ball is--standing alone it almost looks like a gum ball.

Moving on to one of the other items on the list.

Scavenger Hunt 2012--#8 An Angel

Last year, one of the blogs I follow: http://gallorganico.blogspot.com held a photography Scavenger Hunt. I didn't enter last year because of time constraints, but when Rinda announced another hunt for 2012, I immediately signed up for it. I have the whole summer to photograph 21 different items and I am looking forward to having lots of fun doing it.

Since today is a Sunday, I knew exactly where I could find a photo of an angel. This is my first photo for the hunt:
