Okay, so here is my week’s work:


Speed Limit

Pumpkins

I searched high and low for an outdoor decorated tree but lo and behold, what I was searching for was in my own front yard all along…

Sad, wet pumpkins.

A rather unimpressive sunrise…definitely not worth waking up for.

And my favorite - Turkey Trotting with my family.

I ran into the house after my run today and lo and behold I found Turkey! Also, it did t say what kind of tree decor so I went with a tree decorated with many birdhouses. You did say be creative and I took you at your word!

I had a lot of travel this week so just got my pictures up. It didn’t say what time on Sunday was the deadline. So I hope I am not too late for week one!

Weeks run from midnight on Monday to 11:59:59pm on Sunday.

Love this Scavenger Hunt! Mixed bag this week though…

World’s most unimpressive sunrise over the Lansing High School track on Wednesday:

Turkey (trotting) from Thursday’s run:

Pumpkins galore when I ran past Green Star on Friday morning:

Wiggly speed limit sign on this morning’s chilly run:

And I somehow completely failed to run past ANY outdoor decorated trees all week, so instead, please find a horribly back lit photo of a tree that has been decorated by the wind (or, a tree with a deflated balloon stuck in its branches…):

Bring on Week 2! :christmas_tree:

Final find of the week, the Commons holiday tree. Now on to figure out where the French hens are for next week.

I humbly present my submissions for the week after neglecting to post them one-by-one. I scored a whole flock of turkeys at the Turkey Trot! And that sunset? Invisible thanks to today’s cloud cover. But it’s there!
