Twenty-six shots of ... random stuff assigned by (wait for it) Kristi.
Check out the other players and vote here. (There'll be a poll there somewhere, I just don't know where yet... I'd bribe you to take a moment and vote for me, but I'm a state employee... which means I can't afford to bribe anybody. Especially now that the Governor and the General Assembly have decided they pay us too much and they want some of that money back.)

1. Cool or Interesting Architecture
Dorton Arena: Completed 1952 and uses no internal bracing. The entire structure is supported by the roof. I call that way cool.
2. A Sign of Spring (Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere)
Dogwoods are a sure sign of spring around here. They're also the state flower.
3. Something Musical
Organ Hall UNC-Greensboro School of Music. Taken at my son's recital.
4. Something Sweet
The new "Premium" M&M's -- Mocha flavor specifically
5. Something Metallic
Part of my Halloween costume last fall. No prizes for guessing what I went as.
6. A Landscape
View from the summit of Mt. Mitchell, highest point in North America east of the Mississippi River. Hard to get more landscapey than that

I don't know what's behind the door, I just know it's part of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA.
8. A Reflection
Side mirror on a 1960 Chevy Impala
9. A Cemetery
Oakwood Cemetery, one of Raleigh's oldest graveyards

It's not like I own a lot of shoes. These are the best hiking boots I've ever owned though. Insulated and waterproof but breatheable and just stupid comfortable. YMMV.
11. A Body of Water
Is the Atlantic Ocean a big enough body for ya?
12. A Drink
So why do they call it "Frappuccino" anyway?

Hi Mojo,
Great photos! I really like your lights at night, that's awesome. And Your self portrait is great! Have a great day!!
Sherrie
The organ shots are way cool! I also love the one from Mt Mitchell. We are currently studying the Appalachian Mtns with my 5-6th grade geography class- we talked about Mt Mitchell this morning!
This was a fun challenge. I like all the photos you've chosen. Your self portrait is funny, I glad there's no butt.
Bravo! Love the Rochester traffic at nite
Enjoyed your commentary, because now I have a hint of what you do besides posting great photos (govt). I can understand not wanting the govt to take money away from you! (I don't want 'em to tax me more, but two of my clients are paid by the govt, so indirectly I pay myself?).
Rochester and hibiscus photos really pop up. Historical home is precious, too.
Very nice photos -- I am having so much fun seeing others' interpretations of the photo prompts. :)
love the 'hole in the sky'... great shots!
Nice photos!
Beautiful photos! #25 is my favorite :)
Well dione!! This was fun, wasn't it? Dogwood is my favourite, and I like your nightshots! Good luck!
your night shots are terrific, i also love the sand sculpture
you have so many great ones here! I love them all! I am utterly enamored with your work of art!
Great job! Seriously. I love what you captured for the reflection and sculpture categories. Your something in motion is my absolute favorite though!
awesome shots! I'm a fellow NC getting ready to travel to Rochester NY to visit my gram, I thought that was kinda coincidental...LOL. And I laughed at your self portrait and comment...=)
Great job! I love the lights at night.
Yeah yeah, I'm late to this, as usual ... but really cool scavenger hunt (and a great idea too, btw)
That is one big ass organ!
Reeeeeeally cool statue (#18).
Nice self-portrait. lol ;)
