India- Scavenger Hunt

The girl prepared another photography scavenger hunt for my recent trip to India. It was quite challenging! Here is what I found.

1. Jaguar – I told the girl that I would love to see a Jaguar, but that it wasn’t likely. I did learn that Jaguars frequent the city where I was, but not during monsoon. I did not find a Jaguar, but this substitute is pretty awesome because it looks like an Asiatic wildcat

Perhaps it’s a hybrid? This is the only cat I saw on my trip, and it was in a very remote area.

2. Monkey – normally I like monkeys, but the monkeys in Landour are kind of terrifying!! They chase you for food!



3. Bike – in Landour, the hills are so steep bicycles aren’t common. I was in Delhi for a while, however, and bicycles are everywhere.



4. Traditional clothes – in the mountains, the women wear beautiful scarves to tie back their hair.


5. Airplane. Arriving in Landour, there was an airplane over my head..I never saw the whole thing, and I’m not sure what kind of monument this was.


6. Silly Face – this friend of mine loves to make silly faces!  He’s a dinosaur in this photo.


7. Something camouflage – a backpack at the airport?


8. Dog – there were a lot to choose from, but most are feral and not cared for.


9. A very cool marble – I could not find a marble, but I was surprised to find an acorn. Acorns are sort of the same shape as a marble, and very cool. I hope it counts.


10. Cow – they are everywhere!


11. An adorable baby – I didn’t meet very many babies, but I do have a friend who counts as adorable, and she’s pretty young.


12. A little boy


13. Sitar – this was challenging, and I thought I was going to have to go with a “guitar” (they rhyme)


However, I listened to these artists at the airport.

I love these scavenger hunts. They give me an opportunity to look at the world from my girl’s perspective. I would never have taken some of these pictures without her inspiration!

Mommy is home from India and first grade starts next week. The girl decided we should celebrate! It was a girls day out, and all the girls (the girl, her mom, and her Nonnie) got their ears pierced.
