Treasure Hunt 2
 

Here it is, everyone! Round two.

You have until midnight on December 27th to take and post one picture in each of the following concepts/categories. No archived pictures allowed.

Then we'll vote on the best in each category. One point scored for each favorite pic.

The person with the most points sets the next treasure hunt. In the event of a tie, the oldest poster gets the honor.

As always, the person with the most points when we all tire of it is the bestest ever and gets kudos and stuff.

1) Symmetry
2) Polished
3) Cold
4) Soft
5) Red

Everyone is encouraged to vote. Posting ends on December 27th at midnight Cellar time, and voting begins when I or someone else gets around to creating those voting threads.

If you wanted to join in last time around, but didn't, this is you chance now.

Here's Flickr's best guess:

Oww, you're gonna get yelled at. :haha:

Did you take the pic? if not you can't use it. Get out yer camera.

Someone didn't plug their brain in this morning. Why would we be interested in that picture? Even if you had taken it yourself, after the categories were revealed, you haven't said which category it's supposed to be in ...and to be honest it's not obvious either so it ain't gonna win.

that's like a triple fail.

here ya go, a little larger

take and post one picture in each of the following concepts/categories. No archived pictures allowed.

......was that too harsh, chaps? :lol:

I apologize :sniff: I didn't read the rules til after posting. And no, it wasn't really a serious submission. And for the monster that doesn't like thinking for itself, it was an attempt at all 5 categories at once (which I feel is a more interesting challenge than 5 pictures.) (And is also why I don't have a serious submission.) (And I'd take it down if I was allowed to edit.)

No worries.

This is my submission for "cold." This is what having a younger brother can mean for you. And I was there with my camera!

Here is my submission for cold. . .

I knew what you were trying to do (I'm smarter than the average monster) I was teasing you -don't taze me bro! There is no worse crime here, though, than posting without reading. The punishment is a severe teasing. Possibly with a little ppunning too. You got off lightly. Now get your camera out and really be a part of the forum....

Red
 

I did not name her she came to me with the name Red. How convenient for this thread ;) Here she is with her new babies. . .

i want one

polished
 

I almost chose a finished box of chocolates for the word'polished' but stick to a more literal interpretation.

Soft
 

I thought the lighting made it somewhat soft.

Red
 

as in the past tense of read

Don't worry about it. I think it captured all 5 wonderfully. I hope you submit again!

symmetry
 

oh, that is cool!

most excellent.

Toad's picture reminded me of this thread. We're running out of time, so get those cameras out! There's a little more than a day until the deadline for this contest. The more, the merrier.

Here's my submission for red. It's a poinsettia in our living room.

Soft

This is my Christmas stocking.

I still need to figure out what to do for polished. Who thought up these random categories anyway?

Unfortunately both of my memory card converters have wandered off (jim left one at his moms xmas eve and spencer lost the one last night) so I can't get any pictures off my camera.
:(

If we don't have enough entrants, there's no reason we can't extend the deadline like in the first game. Is there?

nope. i'm working on mine but thor's first hockey tourney is taking up a bit of time.....

All right, let's say the new deadline is midnight Cellar time on Sunday, January 3rd. That's a one week extension. Get those cameras out and find those card readers!

Symmetry?

Red. (I must've misplaced those M&Ms, I can't find 'em anywhere now. :yum: )

Soft. (Oddly enough, all these marshmallows disappeared also.:yum: )

Cold. (No! All the ice cream did not disappear!)

Polished.

These are tree lights reflected in the polished surface of our coffee table.

Very cool glatt!

My entry for Cold and one I'd like to enter for Red, but Hector took it. Great photo, though, huh?

Game much?!

Soft

Just a little -that is only a small section of the cabinet.

Banana Lady looks like she's happy with that gift... or it was a live rattlesnake. :haha:

wait wait, I forgot to post mine I was up late doing paperwork......

so post them already

red, polished, and soft (it's snow, guys, honest)


I found a better symmetry one but had already posted the huge black gravestone trifecta -which, incidentally, is for a married couple who are NOT YET DEAD. It's huge and inscribed with godawful patriotic poems about the USA Uni of Mich, Ann Arbor......... oh and some love mush too

Sorry, boss -couldn't find the camera! :lol:

You did really well monster but bullets look like beautiful Christmas advertisements. I know who I'm voting for!

Well so far it's one each for undertoad, glatt, jinx, bullitt and me. A little research tells me that puts UT in the hot seat for choosing the next five categories if it stays that way

works for me.

water, lamps, feeding, shells, filters

ha! do we get extra points for non-yuttle pics? Shall i start a new thread or will you?
