Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt
This Week's Theme: Silver
This week's theme was tough as I wracked my brain to try to think of what I might have in my collection of pictures that could possibly be silver. I have never had piles of money lying around the house in the form of nickels, dimes, and quarters to photograph; I've never made it to my 25th wedding anniversary so no photo ops there; and though I have some jewelry none of it is anything I've ever wanted to take a picture of.
Then the light bulb went on and it dawned on me that the badge that I used to wear when I worked at the Norwich Police Department as a 911 Dispatcher was silver and I was pretty sure that I had taken a picture of it some years back. My memory has apparently not quite gone out on me completely as I was right and was able to dig this up from my archives. It's not the best picture in the world when it comes to quality but, by golly, it's silver and that fits the theme of the week! Plus it brings back some memories both good and bad of the time when I made my living telling cops where to go!Get the code and join the Blogroll here!

ReplyDeleteI must say that is some of the shiniest silver in that badge, that I have ever seen! And you got to tell the police where to go? How interesting and nerve wracking at times I bet!
What a great idea for silver. I'm glad you remembered it. It's very impressive.

"Telling cops where to go"....LOL love it!! What an excellent idea to think of the badge for the silver theme picture! This is my first time participating in the Photo Hunt...great fun:-)
ReplyDeleteVery impressive! I've never seen one up close before.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by mine :)
Just dropping by to say I enjoy reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteI think that badge is gorgeous (of course I am a native Nutmegger!!) Great shot!
ReplyDeleteBadges. They still have them on police uniforms. They look great.
ReplyDeleteWasn't able to join the Photo hunters. I was at a loss when I was going to post and all of a sudden I couldn't open my own blogger as I was switched to the new blogger buzz and not the blogger beta. They said blogger beta is already dead and this is the new one. So anyway, no Photo Hunter today but have something special for everyone. It is much better than silver and gold. Please do visit if you have the time.
My jobs are easy compared to yours, sitting there, listening to all of the problems, you just throw the more interesting ones to us. You have to be nice most of the time, we are allowed a little more latitude. Great post, you have my respect.
