My U3A Something Snappy Photo Group met at the end of September for another photo hunt. The weather was kind to us and we were able to look for our photos in and around the High Street in Warminster. The words to find photos for were: begins with G, orange, a forename/Christian name, ironwork, stripes or dots, out of place, a logo, 9/nine, symmetry, transport, and the bonus word was to find something historical to show the rest of the group
 |
| begins with G - a selection of glasses on display in an optician's shop |
 |
| orange - part of a Halloween display in one of the charity shops |
 |
| a Christian name - Lauren |
 |
| ironwork - a bit of a cheat really as this is an enamelled sign, but I couldn't find a decent photo of any of the ironwork around the town |
 |
| stripes or dots - the textured paving to assist blind people |
 |
| out of place - a van parked on a double yellow line! |
 |
| a logo - seen on the Blue Cross for Pets charity shop |
 |
| 9/nine - a statue of a girl sitting on top of nine sacks of corn |
 |
| symmetry - part of a grating |
 |
| transport - a bicycle propped against a lamppost |
 |
| bonus: something historical - one of the blue heritage plaques |
We ended our session with coffee and cake in a nearby café. We welcomed a new member this time so it was a good opportunity to get to know her and also to share our photos with the rest of the group. Next month's venue was agreed on - Trowbridge town centre if dry, or the Parish Church or the Museum if it is wet.
Your group really is thriving by all accounts - that's so lovely and the photos are great. xx
ReplyDeleteI think the group is as big as I want it to be with this latest new member, so I will start a waiting list if anyone shows an interest.
DeleteIt's worked out well and I have met some lovely people through the group. Thanks re the photos. xx
Loved your photos for each prompt! The statue of the girl sitting on top of the sack of corn has to be a one of a kind!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bless. I didn't know about that statue so was delighted to find it hidden away at the end of a precinct. xx
DeleteWhat a great set of photos. I like the dog nuisance sign although not much of a deterrent these days :) My favourite is the statue of the girl on the sacks of corn
ReplyDeleteThanks Eileen. I was pleased to find the sign even though it didn't really fit the prompt. I'm not sure how much of a deterrent it was as it's quite small and easily missed. xx
DeleteI do like your photos, my favourite is the grating something functional and yet easy on the eye. I can see a design like this on a card. Helen S.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that you were able to get out with your group & have some fun with the search list. I wonder if the corn market folks commissioned that statue of the girl on sacks of corn - it certainly is a fun find.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Sounds like a great time out! Wish I could find something like that
