Item 11 A forrest, in Wicklow
Item 15 A wooden Bridge at Glendalough
Item 5 A public meeting in Dublin
Item 20 A roadside memorial, in the Wicklow mountains
Item 19 A beehive, I noticed this in a village nearby on a journey home. I didn’t have my camera so went back the next day. That’s how the Scavenger Hunt got to me.

And the last 7 items to complete Rinda’s Summer Scavenger Hunt 2011.

Item 9 I found the unicycle in a sports shop in WSM £90.00 to you!
Item 16 The glass building is the Aviva Stadium Landsdowne Road Dublin. I love that I just saw it ‘in the middle of a housing estate!’ as we were on our way to the airport.
Item 15 Carters Steam Fair in WSM.
Item 6 Barry Waterfront Festival was awash with Pirates and Honest Seafaring Men as these two said they were.
Item 18 Sketching in WSM.
Item 13 6th century cemetery in Glendalough Co Wicklow.
Item 2 The world famous, one and only helicopter museum is right here in WSM

This was such a wonderful challenge. I really hope there will be another one (pretty please) Thank you Rinda.

I have been scavenging for the items on Rindas wonderful treasure hunt.

Item 8 Our Union Jack
Item 17 Rain on the car
Item 21 A rooster on my stairs
item 5 A hand written sign. I tried the cake, it was fabulous.
Item 7 A decorated mailbox. I might try harder on this one or look for a garden ornament.
Item 14 A Castle. This is Banwell Castle where you can get fabulous Somerset Cream Teas if you are passing.
Item 15 Graffiti art. This is the wall in the playground of the school my nephew Alec went to. His classmates and staff made this dedication to him.

I can’t remember where I got this LO from. If anyone knows please let me know & will credit them.

thank you Rinda for this wonderful Challenge

This week we have ben searching for;
Things that look like a letter of the alphabet
Weather
Bling
Tangled
Dark

Things that look like a letter of the alphabet
I found this really difficult until this morning when suddenly I saw 11 things very easily. How does that happen? anyway I put them into my new collage maker.

Weather

We have had some amazing rain this week, a sound recording would have been great, instead I went for the rain on my husbands car just because I love to see it with the rain drops on. I wanted a close up of the rain drops on the canvas but I was getting so wet! It didn’t quite work but I like the result anyway.


Bling
I am really stuck on this one. This is my favourite necklace at the moment, because I can’t post an empty space!

Tangled
I thought this was the sort of tangled undergrowth that the Prince had to cut his way through to get to the sleeping Princess.
I may have had a little too much sun yesterday.

Dark

Delicious and probably gone by now!

More fabulous finds over here at Ashley’s blog.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Another Savenger Hunt is on and this week were are looking for;

Pop of Colour
Crossing Thresholds
X-Ray
Toy
Hidden or Farm

These are what I found

Pop of Colour
I had lots of ideas for this but I like this one because the poppy reminds me of my friend and as the background was dark to begin with I played with making the background black and putting the flower in an oval frame. Both a first for me.


Crossing Thresholds
I was really interested in the tutorial suggested for this prompt and went to our local park and took loads of pictures of pergolas, arches, gaps in walls etc and was very pleased with the interpretations and my understanding of ‘crossing thresholds’ then yesterday, I went along to a charity abseil which was in a local disused quarry and took loads more pictures of rocks and wild flowers and interesting ‘things’ and suddenly realised that these brave folk were actually (and some of them) metaphorically, crossing a threshold!
Not perfect but I like it…

X-Ray
This got me stumped. I looked for some tutorials, they all started out by suggesting I wear something flimsy and floaty! Oh dear, that would be too scary for a Sunday. I had something I thought would be ‘OK’ and then I looked at Ashley’s blog post and followed the link to a sensible tutorial! The penny dropped. Invert black & white.
I put a picture into photoshop, changed it to black and white and remembered my shortcut ‘CMD I’ and wow! a kind of x-ray.
I had such fun, faces or hands were the best but as the picture looks so strange I thought I had better use my own face! How brave is that?

A little red double decker bus, once much loved, now discarded, but I know where the box of cars are!

Hidden or Farm
I have two for this because my indecisive nature has taken hold this afternoon.
These bunnies had the biggest barn you ever did see, on the farm I went to visit and there they were hiding in this little shelter!

On a walk yesterday I saw this! how I saw it I have no idea. Those of you that know me will be astonished because you know that I am as blind as a bat! That’s how Scavenger Hunt has gotten hold of me!

Have a look over here for some fabulous finds this week.
And to think I wasn’t going to play this week!

Sunday again! Where is the time going? Time for another Scavenger Hunt. This week we are looking for:

Windows/Doors
Eyelashes
Paint
Leaf Veins
Faceless Portrait

Here are my interpretations for this one.

Windows/Doors
I love my little pink bird house.

Eyelashes
A stolen shot of my sleeping boy.

Paint
I tried so many things for this but nothing was right and was about to give up, but I couldn’t, so I went right back to the beginning and started with the word!

Leaf veins
I took so many shots of the leaves in my garden this afternoon, they are fascinating, but I really liked the pattern on the Hydrangea leaf.

Faceless Self Portriat
This was just fun!

Thanks Ashley for great prompts again this week.
There are some wonderful interpretations over here at Ashley’s blog.
