Several months ago, I created a get outside photo scavenger hunt that a lot of you seemed to enjoy. I thought it might be fun to try another one – this time to celebrate fall.
The only rule for the fall nature photo scavenger hunt is that there are no rules. I’ve come up with some prompts to inspire you, but exactly what you photograph and when is entirely up to you. (Hopefully, you’ll let your kids get snapping, too!)
There are 30 ideas listed here, but fall is 3 months long. That means you can take your time checking items off the list. At the end of fall, you’ll have a wonderful collection perfect for a photo book!
How to Play
If you need a little inspiration to play along, I’ll be sharing photos we take throughout the season. Here’s how you can join the fun:
- Get your free printable Fall Nature Photo Scavenger Hunt list. Post it somewhere you’ll see it every day.
- Head outside and into nature with your family and start exploring.
Once you’ve taken a photo, there are lots of ways to share:
- Post your photo on the Go Explore Nature Facebook page or on Instagram (follow me @goexplorenature).
- If you’re on Pinterest, send me your username & follow any of my boards; you can then add your photos to my Fall Nature Photo Scavenger Hunt board
- And if you’d love to play along but have no desire to share your photos publicly, please do so! Feel free to drop me a line & let me know how it’s going.
This scavenger hunt is meant to be fun, so don’t worry if you miss an item or don’t start playing along until mid-season. The point of all of this is to get outside with your family and connect with nature.
Great to have you, Alicia! Check your inbox for an invite to the Pinterest board.

Hey Darci – thanks for stopping by! Your idea of comparing things from one season to the next sounds great. I'm thinking there may be a Winter Nature Photo Scavenger Hunt in our future! 🙂
Debi,<br /><br />We are going out today…supposed to be 80 degrees today, then rain for the next week. This list is perfect. We did a spring digital scavenger nature hunt in April, I think we'll have to go back and compare what we found in the spring with what we find in the fall. Should be fun. I will be sure to add a photo to your pinterest board! What a fun way to share our fall journey!
Thanks so much, Sere. I know you're hosting your own photo scavenger hunt, so I'm extra happy to have you here, too. 🙂 Your photos are amazing!!
Oh I hope you do, Lisa! Thanks for stopping by to say "hi" from your neck of the world.
Awesome! I will join you on this journey! My pinterest is: http://pinterest.com/serephoto/ Can't wait to start, just waiting on the leaves to change around here 🙂
Love this idea Debi. It's Spring in Australia so we will have to wait to try this one, maybe we will attempt a Spring scavenger hunt instead 🙂
Oh, I LOVE the squirrel idea! Can't wait to see what you guys come up with! 🙂
Glad to have you!
