Common Sense, Simple Common Sense

Oh, the EXCITEMENT of getting to post my Saturday Scavenger Shots! I got to choose this week's word and thought maybe we could all use a little EXCITEMENT during this winter slump. I hope everyone enjoyed finding pictures that expressed EXCITEMENT. I know I did! Now, ideally, I think I'd be showing you shots of me shushing down a snow covered mountain or riding the waves on my board or something along those lines. I don't have anything like that. What I do have are a couple of photos from work...in the Library, EXCITEMENT tends to arrive in the form of special guests. So, here are a couple of our favorites:

Twice a month, there is a great deal of EXCITEMENT in the Children's Room as our special dog friends pay us a visit. They are sweet, gentle doggies, and the kids love reading to them. The big dog, Bernie, shown here, generates EXCITEMENT in the families the second he walks into the room. They follow him like he's the Pied Piper.

The EXCITEMENT caused by these fellows has a different source depending upon your age and orientation. The kids see super heroes who drive a huge, shiny red truck. EXCITEMENT! And I think you all know what I see...um, EXCITEMENT :-)

So, there you have it. I hope you were able to share in my EXCITEMENT, tame as it is. I am not sure what to do about tagging someone for next week...people have been sort of roaming in and out of the blogosphere lately...I don't want to keep picking the same people over and over, but I also don't want to call upon someone who isn't around or doesn't want to play. Well, let me try...how about Dmarks. Are you up for it? I guess we shall see...

I came here first and got all excited because I got the word wrong... but I fixed mine. Nice photos.

Oo, I like that guy standing by the clock in that second photo. You definitely know how to capture EXCITEMENT! :)

Nothing brings more excitement than hot firefighter guys. Thanks for those pics...Especially the last one.

NoRegrets: haha! I like your alternate word too :-)

Tara: Isn't he cute? I don't know what librarians would do without fire fighters roaming the city.

Churlita: Anytime. Always happy to post shots of my favorite men in uniform.

Librarians and Firefighters seem like a natural match-up to me! One is surrounded by dry paper and the other puts out fires. A match made in heaven! ; )

Thanks for the great word this week, Laura. it was fun to write 9and read) about excitement.

K_sra: We like to imagine they'd light our fires.... *sigh*
I'm so glad you liked the excitement :-)
