Well, summer is officially over, and it's time to say a fond farewell to the 2013 Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt. . . . but not before I name a few winners and post a few concluding thoughts.
First, the winners!
Congratulations to BJ of ccraftcorner and sky-blu-pink!
Please email me at rinda1961 (at) yahoo (dot) com, and you can select your prize. You'll be able to select a photography book from my list of favorites, and I'll have Amazon send it directly to you.
Also, I still owe Susan her June prize, which is some really fun summery washi tape.
Next, I want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated this year. I really enjoyed seeing all the scavenger hunt blog posts during the summer and the incredible turnout for the linkies. Besides seeing wonderful windmills, funny signs and, uh, inventive cloud interpretations, the real pay off for me was reading the stories behind the pictures. I loved hearing about the special trips you took to cross an item off the list, the heartfelt meaning behind some of your photos and the camaraderie you developed with family and friends while on the hunt. I am also touched by how the scavenger hunt helps people dealing with difficult times and am forever grateful when they choose to share this type of message with me. I feel like there's a scavenger hunt community which develops every summer, and its members are all over the globe. They hunt in Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Canada, the United States and all over the United Kingdom. Be sure to come back next summer when we do it all over again!

A big THANK YOU,Rinda.....the Scavenger Hunt has become a highlight of my summer.....and I have so enjoyed seeing everyone else's photos.
I loved the scavenger hunt again this year thank you so much Rinda for all the organisation xxx
Congratulations to the winners! And thank you again, Rinda. I'm looking forward to participating next summer.
Oh wow! Thankyou so much Rinda! I am just delighted to have won a prize! I loved seeking out all the challenges, even more so because I had such a special holiday this year! I have also really enjoyed looking at other people's collections.
Congrats to the winners! This hunt was a wonderful experience not just finding the images but going on so many photo travels with so many great folks. I hope we all meet up again here next year if we don't 'see' each other before. Thank you again Rinda..
Thanks again, Rinda for the hosting the Summer Scavenger Hunt. I'm glad I didn't throw in the towel like I had thought of doing earlier in the summer because I couldn't find most of the items. (I found over half of them the last three weeks of summer). I enjoy how your list makes me conscience of those everyday and not so everyday things we encounter yet might have missed. Even still now that the hunt is over I've seen a couple items thinking "Oh, I need a picture of that!"
Thanks,
Linda
Forgot the last link but had a blast finding all the items in one holiday - thank you for the inspiration!
Oh my goodness, someone else had to tell me of my win, I'd forgotten there was one! thanks Rinda I'll e-mail you the details later. BJ

We all had a marvellous time finding the items on the list. I am sure it has been of sound educational value for Miss Em, and it was definitely great fun to do. Thasnk you so much for giving us all this huge gift of fun.

Hi is the link section gone or is it not visible to me on my mobile phone? I was looking forward to looking at everyone's posts and photos while on another road trip, which I am now on! Or maybe it is a different post. I'll keep looking.
Oops, never mind. Found the correct post. Yay!
And thank-you to YOU for making it possible for us, Rinda :).
