3-19-22 – bonus!

Aw man, I read the directions wrong – I thought it said to post to EITHER Strava or Forum, so technically, I’m a day late. DARN! But here is the text copied from my Strava list for your enjoyment:

“#scavhunt BONUS! OK, you have to stretch the creative imagination here, but I’ve got SIX items here. First, the easy ones. 1) bike. 2) wine (in Sam’s hand). 3) crosswalk – Nadine is standing in it. The other three are harder. 4) moon – you can barely see the moon in the photo, and the clouds were covering part of it, and of course, the photo doesn’t do it justice, but it’s just above Nadine’s head through the tree branches. 5) flowering trees. You’ll just have to take my word for it because the spot where we were on Hains Point was surrounded by flowering trees and they ARE in the background. 6) Ovate spheroid. Nadine generously volunteered to squash her ‘middle-aged’ boob for that one. Thank you Nadine! Oh wait – could there even be a bit of INDIGO? Would that make SEVEN???”

Cate, I think you are not late. The final submission can be done today. Here is a quote, “Good news: You will have until the end of 20 MARCH to submit your final photo in the forum.”

3/19/22 participation prize

This ended up being kinda last minute and silly…. I’d been tired during the day and then so caught up in the wonderful FFSHPP that I thought I’d hafta give up on a submission. But we ended up ending the HP party at 11, and on our ride home Jenn pulled out her can-do attitude* & helped me with this silly submission. (*Omg I had NO IDEA what she’d put together for her own! [emoji38])

Ok so here we have

1) a bike
2) on a crosswalk
3) the moon – over Jenn’s head, a li’l clouded but you can see it. (Sorry – when it was clear there was a car coming, and then after it had gone I couldn’t wait any longer for the cloud to move cuz it was 11:59 [emoji16])
4) oblate spheroid – if you zoom in on Jenn’s left boob, which she’s holding up for me … I know mine is the 3rd submission presenting a middle aged boob as an oblate spheroid, but in my defense it was my idea… which is why the first 2 submissions feature my boob [emoji38]
5) flowering tree – those are cherry blossoms behind me. It’s dark so it’s hard to see them, but you were out there last night too – you know they’re all over the place there.

Thanks for hosting the scavenger hunt contest this year, Rumi & Millie. I had a li’l trouble keeping up sometimes, but mostly I had fun trying, which is the point, right?

3/18/2022 – Cool house

A cool house I found on my ride today was this one with stained window glasses.

Hate to burst your bubble, Serdar, but that’s a film you can buy at Home Depot to make your windows look like stained glass. I chuckle, because it’s the same pattern that I used to solve a problem with my bathroom window being too easy to see through with curtains alone. Lol.

Ah! So, that was a fake stained window. Thanks for telling, Mtansil.

I looked up your Strava ride and see that this is crosswalk plus bicycle for two points

OK folks I have a challenge here in trying to score the bonus points – – the participation leaderboard is done with your Strava name which doesn’t always connect with your forum name. If you are doing the bonus day participation prize can you please reply with your Strava name ASAP
