For those of you who haven't participated before, I host this event starting on June 1 and running until the last day of summer (September 22, 2015). I post a list of about 20 items for people to find and photograph during the summer. I encourage people to blog about their finds, and I host a link-up once a month. There's also an instagram tag (#rindas2015photohunt) and (maybe) a facebook page. The original idea was to create a list which gets people out and about during the summer months to explore places they might not otherwise go, but I also include items which are somewhat challenging to find. The time frame is long enough that most people are able to find most of the items without being too stressed. It's become a way for people to open their eyes and be aware of their surroundings and also a way to see the great variety of items found around the world. There's usually about 60 participants from all over the globe, which means some people are actually participating in the summertime scavenger hunt during the winter (those in Australia and New Zealand).
The scavenger hunt is free and open to everyone! If you don't have a blog, you can put your images in a flicker account or any other photo hosting site that works for you. The only rule is that the photo needs to be taken during the time frame of the Hunt (no using old photographs from your archives).
You can click on this link to see all my old scavenger hunt posts. The 2014 list is here. The 2013 list is here. You can click on this link to find the 2012 list. The 2011 list of items is clickable here.
Everyone knows I'm rubbish at creating blog badges (LOL!), but here is a smaller version of the official scavenger hunt photo it you want to add it to your blog.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this year's list. I wonder which will be the one this year that is hard to find ... I still get over excited when I see birds on a wire!
Roll on June 1st!
Looking forward to playing along. I came up a few short last Summer but had fun capturing the one I did find.
Excellent!
I'm looking forward to it, as usual! One of my favorite aspects of it is how interested my family, friends, and traveling companions are in helping me find what I need.
Looking forward to this Rinda. My daughter thinks we're all mad, but she also likes helping me find them.
Looking forward to joining in again this year. I really appreciate all the hard work you to for this.
Very excited it's on it's way. Thanks for the blog badge button thingy xx

Really looking forward to it!
Can't wait!
OOOHHHHHHHH! I'm so ready for this - bring it on!
Hooray! I was hoping you'd be hosting this again this year, Rinda. Can't wait to see the list! :)
Hi Rinda this is a post I've been waiting to see pop up on my blog sidebar, looking forward to joining in this year.
I missed 2014 but enjoyed playing along in 2013.
Let the fun begin!

Yay!...looking forward to seeing the list xx
Can't wait.
Looking forward to the hunt, as always! I scrapped a layout last month that had me thinking about last year's hunt - it's here in case you missed it: http://www.melissagross.blogspot.com/2015/05/blog-every-day-in-may-me-on-monday_11.html.
Super excited! The whole family had fun helping me find all the items on the list last year. Maybe I'll have my "mini-me" doing her own hunt this year!
The boys and I are looking forward to it again this year!
Weyhey, Rinda. Thank you SOOooo much for doing this fun event again this year. John and I have really enjoyed taking part the last two years. It will, indeed, be a grand excuse to get "out and about" this summer - especially as John has been so ill over the winter - get some sunshine on his cheeks!!
All being well, count us in.

looking forward to taking part again
