2014 Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt Finale

As autumn arrives the 2014 Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt comes to a close.  I was once again able to capture all of the photos including both of the alternatives.  The most challenging proved to be #20, a bus with a picture painted on its side.  It seemed I was always going in the wrong direction, too far away or driving when one made its presence. 

Nothing spectacular but this is to be expected for a small town.

1. A sign welcoming people to your home town (or a nearby town)

The easiest to find.  Waiting for me to take its photo in a local garden center.

Outside my home; ran outside to get this before they flew away (notice the one in flight)
