We’re going on a treasure hunt this week for the photo challenge. Tina has asked us to find the items listed below.
Challenge Items: Sunrise and/or sunset, Something cold and/or hot, a bird, a dog, a funny sign, a bicycle, a seascape and/or mountain landscape, a rainbow, a church, a musical instrument, a boat, a plane, a waterfall.
Extra Credit Items: An expressive portrait of one or more people, a very unusual place, knitting or sewing, a fish, an animal you don’t normally see, a bucket, a hammer, a street performer, a double rainbow, multiple challenge items in a single image.
The manatee at the top of the page is my choice for an animal I don’t normally see.
Many thanks to Tina for this weeks fun Lens-Artists Photo Challenge – Treasure Hunt

We watched that anhinga try to eat the fish. It was just too big for him. The museum was filled with lots more hammers.

Thanks Nancy. I love manatees, too. Many years ago we went swimming with manatees in Crystal River, Florida. They were as interested in us as we were with them.

Terrific post Beth, you really hit the mail on the head 😊😊. The hammer is definitely a prize-winner (if only we had prizes LOL). Loved the anhinga too. Poor fish, died for nothing

Thank you Judy. The shrimpers were cleaning their nets and the birds and dolphins were coming in for an easy meal. Always fun to watch when that happens.
