…Completed

It hardly seems possible that the Scavenger Hunt finishes today.Thank you Rinda for another fun time taking a look around my locality.
The easiest item for me to find was number six, someone/thing napping…my greyhound, that’s what she does best.
The most difficult was number 13, a fence…nothing ‘quite right’ for me.
The most fun was number 15, a police vehicle…me trying to look invisible.
And the most surprising was number 18, the windmill… who would have thought that this windmill has been here since 1317 just 11 miles from my home and I would never have seen it but for the Scavenger Hunt.

I put my finds into a slide show on Flickr, I hope you like them Here is the link

I am so looking forward to seeing everyones finds here over the weekend

Good Luck in the draw everyone.

…from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all

By the wonderful Joni Mitchel How can she be 71?, I’m shocked.

Anyhow, a couple of evenings ago I was sitting in the garden watching the clouds. I was thinking of Rinda’s Scavenger Hunt and bemoaning the fact that since she published her list I haven’t seen one shape in the clouds. Then all of a sudden I saw this boat with a mast and small flag!

Paul saw it too.

Then I laughed and said that the whole sky was full of popcorn. He raised his eyebrows a bit (a lot actually)

and then…an elephant came into view.

it is on it’s side, I see the trunk, a couple of legs and it’s small tail?

“I think you better stop with the Mojito’s” he said.

How’s your Scavenger Hunt going?
I’m looking at the sky and thinking of you…

Rinda’s July linky for the Scavenger Hunt is open today.

This is the link to my slideshow on Flickr.

Flickr is New and Improved, NOT FOR ME.
Fabulous and Wonderful, NOT FOR ME.

I have been driven to distraction with it over the last few days thinking it was my incompetence at navigating the new site. I found a forum this morning with so many people complaining about bugs and asking for the old version back!!

Anyway, I put my Scavenger Hunt finds in this one place for you to see. It is working for me but that’s not the point. I am hoping it will work for you.
Would you let me know if you tried but couldn’t get to see the slideshow? Then I can try to fix things or find another way.

Thanks.

I played with my Gelli plate yesterday….

Nice colour! I did get some onto paper…

More items found over the weekend.
I have been inspired by Helena to add some text to my photos this time. I have a book in mind.

This is my story…and I’m sticking to it!

Are you joining Rinda’s Scavenger Hunt?
Have you started yet?

We had some gorgeous weather over the weekend with no wind on Sunday… perfect for a trip to make my first Scavenger Hunt picture.

The things I do ‘for my art’

* No wind? I needed to take a step ladder and don’t like being on them at the best of times, I certainly wouldn’t have gone near it had there been a breath of breeze.

* We had to park on a roundabout (no kidding here, should have taken a photo of that!)

* In full public view. If you knew how self-concious I am you would be impressed

But I so wanted this picture..

When we first came to live here Concorde flew over the town (very high) every evening at 5pm on her way to Heathrow.
She flew into Filton Airport for the last time 10 years ago. I still think she is beautiful.
Thanks to Rinda’s Scavenger Hunt I made the picture I have wanted for soooo long.

I made this as a back up in case I couldn’t get the one I wanted. Do you do that?
