The BIG reveal: August Photo Hunt!

Well, the day is finally here!

It's time for me to reveal my 20 items for the August 2010 Photo Hunt. Let me tell you...I am exhausted after this hunt! Not only did I carry around this list in my purse for the past 31 days, but everywhere I looked I found myself thinking, "hmmm, would that work for the photo hunt?!" I also discovered a new appreciation for clouds. They are so neat! But it's always best to stare at the sky when you are sitting in the passenger seat...I had to make a rule for myself- No photo hunting while driving! So...without further ado...here are my 20 items...Hope you like them!

1. A flag that represents me

{Well, I hate to start off with an "archive" photo but I didn't get around to snapping a photo of a flag that represents me. I love this picture I took last November in New York City. It was a very windy night so you can see the line of flags flapping in the wind.}
