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!

Thank you all for your good wishes for my hospital visit. I did take them and thought of you all last Thursday whilst lying still trying to relax. How do you do that lying in a hospital day ward?
I had a coronary  angiogram, not major I know but also not the most pleasant thing to do on a Thursday but the result was good. All is well, and then today, my GP said “Put it all behind you!” What a strange thing to say, not very helpful either and it doesn’t explain the problems I have been having but by now I was really fed up. I had been ages sitting in the waiting room listening to everyones conversations, (not interesting enough to write about either, I listened especially for you!) and half the room were coughing and sneezing. I just wanted to get home and finish writing a True Story for Shimelle and to post my thanks to you ♥
I am up and about now and back to work tomorrow.
Looking forward to major blog visiting soon x
