To celebrate the Spring we will be having an outdoor scavenger hunt! So yes...this means you must go outside to find the items on the list. If you take any pictures indoors for any of the listed items then it will not count. :)

Once you have found something on the list I ask that you take a picture of it with a piece of paper with your Sylestia username and the date on it. This is so that I know that you are the one that is actually finding the things. :) You also must include pictures, if you don't then your scavenger hunt will not count.

You may not use the same image for multiple answers.

Additionally, please do not use the same submission as you may have used in previous Scavenger Hunts. We ask that you seek out new places and things!

Once you have found everything that you could, come back and post your pictures here in the correct order of the list. If there is a difficult picture where you can't photo whatever you're trying to photo and also get your name tag in it at the same time, you may take a picture without your name tag in it THEN immediately afterwards take a photo of your name tag in the area where you were trying to photo. So you would list both photos for that point on the forums.

You do not have to find everything on the list. But for each one you find you will receive a point. The more points you have the more times your name will be included in the random generator for when we do the prizes.

Everyone that also participates with at least 12 scavenger finds will receive the Title: Nature Walker.

Note: Please be respectful of nature. Do not harm anything of nature while you are outside. Please do not remove, destroy, or harm any nests or anything of that sort. And please leave everything that you find outside (unless it is litter, then you can remove that and throw it away). Also, please do not endanger yourself or others to obtain any of these pictures. Thank you!

Feel the rain on your skin
(The raindrops aren't as obvious in the picture as I hoped, but they're there)

This spider seems to be having an ant as a meal.
(This activity made me realize it's freaking hard to capture the beauty of a spiderweb on camera!)


[X] 5. Find some live fish in a body of water.



I included a video because the fish are tiny and it's easier to see what they are if they're moving.


[X] 6. Find someone else's litter and throw it away (Use gloves if necessary).

The litter...

Picking it up...

The area is cleaner now :)


[X] 7. Find a bird's nest (Do not disturb the nest!).

Maple samara!

[X] 1. Find an amphibian or reptile.


[X] 2. Find a living creature that has hair or fur.



Between the flash not wanting to focus on two objects and not wanting to spook the possum that was the best I could do. Spooked poor little possum a bit anyway. I threw him/her an apology strawberry.
[X] 3. Feel the rain (Real or artificial).

If we count lying awake as Mister/Madam Possum clatters back and forth across my roof all night long as observation, then I've done significantly more than 3 minutes of that. It also probably took at least that long to get a photo of the two spiders that elected to remain invisible on film lol.
[X] 11. Find a tree that has a face in its bark (Must be natural. Do not carve it. Use imagination).

One could see an old elephant raising its trunk if one really tries.

Or there's this one which is probably more white than blue, but hopefully close enough.
