In order to involve some of those who can't regularly participate, one person suggested a photography scavenger hunt. We loved the idea so we get a new subject each week and take a picture to submit to the group. We just completed Week 1: A Lake.
This is the picture I took on Saturday evening at a local lake just before a rain storm and the one I chose to submit.

and just for the heck of it, these are the extra shots I liked but didn't pick.
