 Okay the first thing I thought of was my little collection of rocks, shells and other artifacts.  I usually pick up a rock or seashell on any trip I take and some of that is included in this shot as well as some local finds:  a sharks tooth found in mined phosphate, here in Polk county Florida and a native american arrowhead found by my brother in law in the woods of Lafayette county Florida as well as driftwood out of the Suwannee river here in Florida.

 Anyway enough with the description you should find a Y, some O's and a couple of V's there is also a questionable C  ;-)

OMG, what a GREAT START to this months challenge!!!!  I can already see this will be FUN!  I thought looking for 3's was fun, I thought finding letters equally as fun!

David .. that's not just an S ... that's a 3 in one !!!  I see an r and a j and combined, there is that S.  WAY TO GO!  Just like that first one you did .. 3 in one!  You are GOOD.

Oh, and RJ ... a bunch of H's.. how SWEET!  I thought for sure you'd find an RJ  lol  But then the month has only just begun :)

Wendy - Nice pile of letters you found!!!  :)  Very interesting artifacts!

Don't be embarassed  -  it's a great idea!  (Besides ... there were only a few of us doing it ... you're bringing the idea to a larger audience!)  I found letters everywhere ... it's amazing ... I'm looking forward to going back out looking for new stuff!  :)

hey everyone, well another cool topic you came up with this month Shari, I missed the other thread so hope to get stuck into this one nearer the end of the month when I'll have a bit more time... speaking of which work is pretty constant right now, no time for posting except for this one...

today was easily the nicest day of the year so far round these parts, and irresistible to be outside... the light hasn't been that good in aaages and I thought it sensible to shoot while the light remained and continue working once it was dark.... well at nearly 4:30am I've made up for that lost time and taking a final break to put this up here before some much needed kip!!

... I actually wasn't really shooting with this challenge in mind, I was on an mission for stock shots of the Old Course (and got plenty) - but I turned up this 'U' along the way... for any golfers, or those who know the course, this is the burn which runs through the 1st and 18th holes.

very good entries so far everyone!

That U is neat!

I wasn't here for the other photo thread, so I'm glad this is running here.

That hinge is literally 12 inches from my face as I sit at my computer. I see it every day and because of this challenge I will never see it the same way either.  I'll always think of  Ronnie when I see it now, yay! :)

You had me worried. I saw the title and thought the object was to "accidentally" take good photos. I guess we can do upisde-down letters, too, right? Maybe if we turn the camera upside-down? Well, time to grab my camera.

Yup ... mostly babies say "mama" first.  Or "dada" sometimes.  My niece's husband is SO excited that Makenna's first word was "elk!"    He loves to tell that story.

:b_grin:

Excellent work so far. I never saw a real symbol being photographed and yet  all entries display the coincidence/resemblance to a character. Awesome challenge Shari!

Oh and auntie, don't hide behind that "too busy" excuse, we all have check books to balance. :tt2:

Our grandkid recently started saying "ek"... or was it "yuk"! LOL

Let me check what can be done. Next time you folks tell me where the fun is to be had, ok? I am off to see what I can capture for this lesson in the natural alphabet...
