Festival - Spring Photo Hunt - Results!

[Sushidragon]

I don't know about you, but we need some help getting spring started here (I'm envious of the early spring at the Song of the Rainbow Hotsprings)! Can you help us out by finding and taking photos of some very spring-y things? Maybe that will get the sun out and encourage the snow to hit the road!

Your task is to take a photo of each of the items on the list! Two winners will be randomly selected, one for each of the Samanayrs in this pair:

The winner of the stallion will need to form a Song with the mare, but it's up to the owners whether it will be a pair Song or open to other mares as well.

In addition, all entrants will receive a random modiem, and other random prizes may be given out as well

Here's the list of things that you'll need to get photos of:

1 - A blossoming flower
2 - Something warm and bright
3 - Green grass and/or plants
4 - A baby something
5 - Flowing water

Just remember that the list doesn't need to be taken completely literally. For example, if you don't have any actual babies hanging around your place, you could use a baby animal figurine or something like that instead

Rules!

- In each photo, please include a piece of paper with your username on it.
- The photos don't need to be taken around your house, they could be at work or just out wherever, as long as you take them yourself!
- If your photos are very large and you're unable to resize, please link to them instead.
- To enter the draw, just post all of your photos in this thread!
- This event is taking place on PI and the Sam forum, so please just post your photos in one of those places.
- You are welcome to edit your post before the end of the event.

To enter, just post your photos here! The photo hunt will be open until March 9, 8pm PST - good luck!

[HybridSiren]

[A blossoming flower]
One of the many duct tape flowers I've made.

[Something warm and bright]
Little, highly reflective (bright) cat statues that is on the windowsill (warm) in my mom's kitchen.

[Green grass and/or plants]
How's my front yard looking?

[A baby something]
My cats are still my babies! ;w;

[Flowing water]
Uhm. Flowering water on a poster?

[Origami_Dragon]

Yay photo hunting! A chance to drag my three headed name tag back out and go recharge the camera!

1 - A blossoming flower

Happily my mom's orchid just reached full bloom!

2 - Something warm and bright

Bright gold doggie who is quite toasty warm when he decides to curl up with you. He wasn't quite sure what I was doing with the camera and kept moving to look at me funny...

3 - Green grass and/or plants

More indoor plants from my mom's little collection.

4 - A baby something

Baby dinos count?

5 - Flowing water

We just had what is hopefully the last snow of the season...so all the outdoor water is frozen over. Have a sink instead.

1 - A blossoming flower


Fun side note, my grandma painted that XD

2 - Something warm and bright

My fat cat is always warm >| unless he's wet...then not so much, but he was totally stretching and posing for the picture. XD

This one was also going to be a a warm and bright - but I completely forgot about the name paper so XD sadly, there hasn't been a day as bright as that one was since... (3/5/13)


3 - Green grass and/or plants

It's a bamboo plant thing XD

4 - A baby something

Beanie Babies! The fish was my brothers, the wolf is because I like wolves, and the rat is my Chinese zodiac creature XD I have two humongous bags full of Beanie Babies at my grandmothers house, but these ones live with me full time XD

This one was going to be my baby pic but I couldn't do that since it had no username card paper bit XD I wanted to show the adorable puppy-Gus off anyway XD


5 - Flowing water

It was snowing when I took that XD and it still is snowing...

Just a look outside for anyone to be interested in (you'll have to click XD) - these following shots were taken this morning (not the grass one though XD)
This was about the largest patch of green near my home, here is snow, and MORE snow (that little yellow house is the one that had green-ish grass showing). And then the poor bushes being weighed down by more snow. (and then two photogenic shots with the Beanie Babies XD)

-Gigglesnorts- Jen! xD Ill be having to do the same thing! I have been so busy with work and my mom that I just dont have time to get out and find this stuff D8 so! My office is the best place actually because I work for a event planning company! So we have flowers and all that... babies... ._.; not so much BUT!... oh ya... I got this...

Blooming Flower
Something Warm
Baby!
Flowing Water Flowing Water 2
Grass/Plant

I had to work with what I had at... WORK! So... My flower in bloom is on my trusty tissue box (ive been sick )
Something warm is a picture of one of the events we set up for a client at the hotel, the candles are warm and inviting but the flowers are so colorful and bright
The baby is my boss's baby! :3 I get to see him every day. Hes the cutest kid!
The flowing water is a "fountain" that is in the lobby of the hotel. It is a circle. Water is pushed out the top and drips down the sides. COOLEST THING, is that the water NEVER drips except at the bottom! The water defies gravity and hugs the circle till it gets to the bottom of the circular fountain thingy... its really neat.
The grass is a fake LOOKING plant but is actually VERY real

Woooo Good luck everyone! Thanks for the chance to win sushi! <3333


xD Woooo!

1 - A blossoming flower


Well, they were blossoming once upon a time, anyway...and now they're still around to help me assault everyone with a million textures at once! XP Sorry about that, everyone.


2 - Something warm and bright


My colorful sari! That teal is far brighter in person than this picture suggests...and wearing yards upon yards of fabric at the same time is usually warm enough.


3 - Green grass and/or plants


Just look at that green metal ivy grow! I'm not sure if sprouting a dead leaf with someone's name on it is a promising sign though... ^^


4 - A baby something


I'm not sure why my camera hates my hatching baby turtle so much; he's much more adorable than that blurry mess would suggest. *smiles*


5 - Flowing water


Swimming fish and ripple marks means flowing water, yes? I'm going with yes. *crooked grin*


Not my strongest set of pictures ever, but it was kind of fun being forced to find things in my room that might fit the categories anyway... Thanks for the chance!

[amazondreamer]

Flowing water from the Keurig


Baby carrots >.> they count right?


What's warmer and brighter than fire?


My pathos. Poor thing needs some water.


And the tree blooming in my front yard. I only wish I'd remembered to get a photo durring the daylight.

[Jaes]

I got Yuffie to give me a hand with these pics. And she was helpful. Sorta.

1 - A blossoming flower

We just had snow here, so not too many blooming flowers!
Yuffie: Worst flowers ever! How come you don't have any *live* flowers? Didja kill them all?

2 - Something warm and bright

A bright mug with hot tea. Best drink ever.
Yuffie: With the subtle flavor of boots.

3 - Green grass and/or plants

Some bulbs which finally sprouted!
Yuffie: So ya do have live plants. Not great ones or anything, but hey, at least they're not dead.

4 - A baby something

My babies! Well, they're not babies anymore. But I still them love em.
Yuffie: Oh god they're biting! They're biting my everything!

5 - Flowing water

Yuffie was covered in dust, so this was an opportune time to give her a wash
Yuffie: Never helping you again.

[Seren]
