May Scavenger Hunt


I'm joining in for the first time with Hawthorn Spellweaver's monthly photo scavenger hunt.  It started in April and I had every intention of joining in .... and then life got in the way and I forgot!

Here's my photos for May 2016 ....

1. Path
the path around the lake at Coate Water Park

2. Hairy
Ced's cactus, which luckily thrives on neglect!

3. Edible
a special trip to Palmer Gardens cafe to buy a cherry scone to photograph for this prompt!

4. Small
the smallest of the matryoshka dolls, 1 cm tall
[looks like I should have dusted the piano before I took this photo!]

5. Poem
here's 'Duck's Ditty' from Wind in the Willows

6. Hands
H enjoying a mug of hot chocolate

7. Vintage
1930s petrol pumps in Steeple Ashton

8. Shadows
the shadow of the honeysuckle on the back fence

9. View from a window
the north-east tower of Farleigh Castle, seen through the car window

10. My own choice
a silhouette of a dandelion clock

Thanks to Hawthorn Spellweaver and Eldest for the list.

    These are a m a z i n g ! Both the subject choice and the execution. Faves: the path, vintage and the dandelion clock. And small (although before I scrolled down fully and saw titch along with the caption, I wondered what on earth I was looking at!) Good work. Is this the new camera in action?

      Thank you. No, these were taken with the Nikon. I need to sort out my own laptop (possible virus) so until I've done that I am using Ced's laptop to do photos and update this blog. Ced's laptop can't handle the Canon card (too big) and only has a card reader for the Nikon card (which is a lot smaller).

    Great to have you joining in and am loving the way we all interpret the choices. I have noticed most have hairy as a plant, except Eldest's which is so cute. My favourite is your last one of the silhouette. That is so clever. Must brush up on my photography skills. Take care.

    Wow I really love your tiny Russian doll! I've also started to join in the scavenger hunt, I think it's a fab way of getting to know other bloggers!

    These are fabulous Eileen. Wonderful use of depth of field in "small" . I also really like the path, it makes me want to wander down it. Very neat silhouette.

    What a fantastic set of professional looking photos! The path, vintage and your own choice are in joint 1 place if I had to vote; if I was pushed I'd select path as my true no 1. Great interpretation too.
