Summertime Photography & Snapshot Scavenger Hunt List

This summer, inspired by my friend Young Nancy, I'm hosting a summertime photography and snapshot scavenger hunt.  Starting today (June 20 - the summer solstice) and ending on September 23 (the first day of fall), your mission is to find and photograph as many of the following items as you can. You can check out this post for all the details, but essentially, I'll be hosting two divisions: a photography division where you need to take a photograph of the item; and a snapshot division, where you take a snapshot of the item with one of your team members. On September 23, you will email me all the photographs which you have taken, and a prize will be given to the person or team in each division which has found the most items.  If you're interested in participating, please let me know ASAP. There's a list of those who have already expressed interest at the end of this email. The more the merrier; there's no down side to signing up, and I think you'll have fun!  Also, if you've signed up and want me to mail you some "happy mail" that includes the list in a couple of convenient sizes to carry around, just email me at rinda1961{at}yahoo{dot}com with your mailing address, and I'll pop it in the mail to you!
Are you ready to get started?  Here's your list!  You can take the photographs in any order, and I encourage you to post your entries on your blog as we go along.  I'll post round-ups every now and again.
1.   A picture of your entire team (or a self-portrait, if you're playing alone).
2.  A museum
3.  A camp fire (or fire in a fireplace)
4.  A protest, town hall meeting or other political activity
5.  A hand lettered sign selling something or giving directions
6.  A person dressed as a pirate
7.  A decorated mailbox
8.  Your country's flag
9.   A festival or fair
10.  A wooden bridge
11.  A forest
12.  A unicycle
13.  A cemetery of historical significance or with an interesting story.
14. A castle
15.  Graffiti art (not just graffiti and not just a wall mural)
16.  A building made of metal or glass
17.  Rain
18.  A person sketching or painting outside their house
19.  A beehive or an ant farm with live ants
