I love taking photos, and having a goal usually ups the fun factor, so I’m doing a daily photo scavenger hunt.

Every night, I’ll post something you have to take a picture of the next day (along with the date). I’ll try my best to post before midnight.

It might be an object (a stop sign), a theme (something blue), specific (e.g., a bike laying on the ground), vague (e.g., confusion), a mish-mash of those, or none of those.

Rules:

1. Obvs, you should be a participant in Freezing Saddles ’21
2. It has to be on a bike ride on the day it was requested
3. It has to be posted on the day for which it was requested, i.e., 12:01 AM EST to 11:59 PM EST for the day it was requested. Sorry, I won’t count ones that aren’t posted for the day it was requested. That’s part of the challenge
4. The reason I say “for the day it is requested” is because I might do requests a few days ahead of time, but don’t take and/or post the pic until that day comes.
5. It has to be posted here on the forum in this thread
6. There should be text either in the title or in the post with the date and the found object/theme. Another option is to “Reply With Quote” the post with the request, i.e., simply click that button on the bottom right of my request so it is quoted above your picture
7. Description, short backstory or location are optional (but nice). That said, if your pic is abstract or not obviously relatable to my request, please explain (e.g., I ask for “happiness”, and you post a pic of a tennis ball you found on a ride, please explain how that tennis ball = happiness)
8. It has to be a picture you took, so if you’re in it, it either has to be a selfie or done with a self-timer
9. Only one pic/day. Please don’t pad by adding more than one pic/day
10. It has to be a picture, not a video
11. Let’s stick to things you find out there during your ride, and not things that you bring or make yourself (unless otherwise specified). Example 1: if I say find “2021”, don’t scratch it into dirt. Example 2: if I say find a flower, don’t bring a flower with you on your ride and take a pic of that. This kinda takes the fun out of looking for things, which is the whole point. (Rule added on 1/2/21)
12. Unless specified otherwise, your bike does not have to be in the photo. (Rule amended on 1/4/21)
13. Found item needs to be clear and discernible (or legible if text) in the picture. If you are using Tapatalk and are having trouble posting pics that are large enough, let us know and I/we can try to help you with it. (Rule added on 1/3/21)
14. Filters are OK, but no obvious/blatant photoshopping… not that I know anything about such things

Scoring: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kgsAzaLIXN-IJMjscyNnQTNvWEp__VzgGBSkJDYrTfs/edit?usp=sharing

1. If you follow all the rules above, it’s 1 point/picture. I’ll like your pic if I have added the point to the tally sheet.
2. If I feel like you haven’t met all the rules, I’ll give you .25 points for the effort (Added on 1/11/21)
3. I’ll keep a tally with your forum name. I may reach out to you via the forum’s messaging, or ask you to reach out to me in a post in this thread.
4. EDIT ON 3/17/21: THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN ANYMORE -> At the end of FS, every like in each of your pic posts = +1 point. I’ll add these up at the end
   So for example, your pic has met all the conditions at the top, and has 3 likes. That will add 4 points (1 for the pic +3 for the likes) to your pot.

Notes:

1. Prizes TBD
2. Contest starts 1/1/21 and goes until the last day of FS ’21
3. Some of these will be hard. Fret not, some will be easy, so skip those days that are too difficult
4. Don’t ever ever ever ever do anything that can put you in danger or will result in hurting yourself. I promise I won’t ask for any pics of you riding on the Beltway
5. I might post pics, but mine don’t count in the contest

Do you think that Charles and Diana would ever eat “enchiladas”?

I think they would have if the dining table was 50 feet long and they each sat at a “short” end…

I went into DC today partially with the thought of getting Kingman Island, but now it’s Kingman and Heritage Islands. Alas – wouldn’t do. so instead I chose something sacred.

2/24/21 subanagram of Charles and Diana

It was either “Children”at play of Please “Clean” up After Your Pets. Children seemed more pleasant.

That’s a “word” you don’t see every day. lol, unless you live near this restaurant.
Did you just happen to find it, or was it planned?

So I journeyed to Hybla Valley to sing happy birthday to a dear friend, a 96-year old youngster. I was supposed to remember to take a picture of candlewood drive but events overtook thoughts. So I present—dinner.

Too nice of a night to get the enchiladas at San Antonio (full crowd for outdoor seating), so opted instead for Cardinals at the Catholic U stadium.

2/24/21 – “Charles and Diana” Subanagram Word

Ugh. That’ll teach me to check my photos before I ride off. When I went to pick up dinner earlier (from Thai Noy at Westover), I took a picture of my bike leaning against a HANDRAIL; however, it was dusk and my iPhone apparently was having trouble focusing in the half light, so all I got was a blur. I went back out just now and got a photo of this HANDRAIL, which was the closest one I could find to my house.

For some reason, my wife was totally freaked out that I had ridden my bike to pick up dinner from a restaurant that’s less than a mile away. Almost 32 years of marriage, and she’s still surprised when I do bikey things.

The word “Hacienda” in Spanish means Tax Authorties…every town has an office.

I always thought of a “Hacienda” as a large home or an estate. I never realized it was also a tax authority. Thanks for the lesson of the day!!

More importantly, unless he changed the rules, drevil is looking for the word, not the object. On your ride, find a subanagram word (not the object) using just the letters “Charles and Diana”. Take a snapshot, and post your one pic in the forum: http://bikearlingtonforum.com/showthread.php…

There’s time to go back out. Really freak her out.

Better sacred than scared.

2/25/21 – Duck (likeness of animal or the word)

On February 25, 1970, “Rubber Duckie” premiered on Sesame Street when Ernie sang the song while taking a bath. Fun fact:
“The segment was so popular that the song was issued as a single with the show’s theme song as the flip side. In September, it peaked at #16 on the Hot 100, and on November 16, it once again appeared on Sesame Street, this time in a Season 2 segment again with Ernie performing the song.”

On your ride, capture a likeness of a duck, whether it be an actual duck, an image, or made of rubber. Caveat is that it can’t be your own duck.

Happy hunting!

Prince Charles and Lady Diana announced their engagement to the world on 2/24/81. Infuriating fact: after getting engaged to Charles, Diana was shamed into selling her bicycle because it “wasn’t very regal to be riding around London” 😡

On your ride, find a subanagram word (not the object) using just the letters “Charles and Diana”. Take a snapshot, and post your one pic here in the forum.

Happy hunting!
