Photo Scavenger Hunt (Better-late-than-never!) for June



I mentioned the other day that I didn't manage to take part in this one... not strictly true- I hadn't completed by the time I wrote that post. But I then realised that there were only two more pictures to collect, so I decided to finish, rebelliously, late. If you haven't come across the Photo Scavenger Hunt, then this is the link you need. Such a lovely idea, and a great way to get in touch with new people. Its always good to see how bloggers interpret the list differently, and its a handy focus for photography when you're out and about.

[Please insert here the neccesary apologies for my camera dying (RIP little digicam!) and excuses about my mobile phone lens having a small scratch on it! Its actually takes a pretty decent photo considering, and I'm getting quite good at taking a shot with room to spare, so that I can crop-out the smudge later on!]

Here we go:


Tree Branches


A Farm Animal
I didn't get a chance to see a real one in June, but there are a wide selection to choose from at home. This is one of them, on Little Guy's book shelf.

A Childhood Memory
I used to love Sylvanians! And spent many hours looking over these little collector-leaflets that came with the animals, and the furniture, trying to remember all the names, and working out what I would like to get next. I was lucky enough to have the bakery, (Mr Brown Bear and his wife were too tall to come in through the door though- it bothered me!) and I saved and saved for the little house. The grey rabbits were my first family, and my favourites, and I liked the babies as they were in pocket-money range! TMI... probably...

A Wheel Trim
I was too slow to get a pic of my fella's motorbike, which came to stay for a week. Here is Pickle Missy's scooter wheel.

An Elephant
On my dressing table. I love him. He keeps my rings on his nose!

Architectural Detail
From a Baptist Church. This is around the back of the building, but I liked it as much as the finer ones near the front door. Sadly it looks out onto a loading bay and a public toilets, but its very pretty!

Cheese
My newest summer discover: feta in oil, with chilli and pepper. Mmmmm...

Cutlery


Night
 
My stair-window, at night.

Something beginning with 'Z'


Something with your town's name on it
From a tourism leaflet for the town. Sadly there are no tigers to be found, wandering down the high street, and I wouldn't have called the local animal park in 'our' area either (some artistic licence with the race track too!), but it makes a lovely central picture!

The View Right Outside Your Door

I took this on the Friday (after four days of road closure and tea-making... literally!) that they completed work on the resurfacing of my road. There was lots of excitement about the various machines that arrived, and Little Guy and I had fun watching.

  2. Love the elephant. I have absolutely no idea what Sylvanians are - I'm obviously way too old :(

  3. Aww, I always wanted Sylvanian Families and was never allowed on the basis that their tiny furniture and things would always be all over the floor and would clog the hoover :(

    Love that pic of the piggy, I do like to see a lot of books in the vicinity of children!! xxx

  4. ah, I thought you hadn't taken part this month! I remember sylvanian families - we had a camper type thing, my sister played with it more but they were great!

    I was more into Oh Penny, do you remember that?! I have the whole set in the loft still!

  6. Some great photos despite camera problems. My Little Miss has Sylvanian Families now. She likes collecting it when we go to car boot sales.
