Scavenger Hunt : Part 9 : Duplicates

I bagged all the items for the Scavenger Hunt earlier this month but have still been keeping my eye out for better shots.

 
#13 The Moon still captivates me and one morning when I woke before dawn I watched it track across the sky as the birds began to sing and the sky lightened.




Another frequent finding were #01 Wild Hearts. A Potato, A Petal, some Tendrils from the Wisteria and bubbles in the kitchen sink.













At last a quiet moment in a church and a beautiful #12 Window.


The chance sighting of a foal by the River Mole for the second alternative.  A Baby.



My latest #08 Art Project, A Fairy Jar.

My #21 July Calendar shot.

And to top it all the latest craze to be sweeping the nation, I have been doing Pokémon Go for the past 11 days.

I wrote a blog post about Geocaching vs Pokémon Go so here is my #16 Map of a Trip and me #09 Playing by Water (you'll have to take my word for it as I haven't got into this selfie thing much yet).



So yes, despite having bagged all the items, the Scavenger Hunt goes on.

Thanks Rinda.

Scavenger Hunt 2016 : Part 8 : And I'm Done!

OK for the last few items off the list for me. I knew food and drink would pose a problem for me so just went with Sunday Lunch items.

Well it is sort of #14 A Buffet of Food!

And those are sort of #19 Seasonal Cocktails or Beverages despite us drinking them all year through. 

Let's face it is doesn't get too hot/cold here in the UK!

And that is sort of Alternative 1 : A Lighthouse. OK it is a Shurgard Storage Centre but they do go to the trouble of building a lighthouse like structure and we live over 50 miles from the sea so not much in the way of proper lighthouses here.

And he will always be my Alternative 2 : A Baby (Human or Animal) despite being dressed up smart for his first day of work experience with his Dad. Aww.

Well that's my lot. I will keep a look out for better versions but count it is a done job. Thanks for hosting the Scavenger Hunt again this year Rinda, love it.

WOYWW #368 - Preschool Taketh Over!

Morning Everyone and welcome to my desk on WOYWW. I'd wondered whether I'd have tidied it up by now but obviously not.

It's mini beast week at preschool and I am knee high in ladybird preparation for tomorrow's session.

Here's the ladybird, I'll be adding the antennae at preschool as I don't have any craft matchsticks at home.

I'm also covering on Friday so will be doing spiders' webs then. Here's the spider on their web.

I made a job lot of pom-poms for the spiders and lined up they look like a millipede!

Amazingly enough amongst the mayhem I made my SWAP card on the theme of "Sunshine". I based it on a tag I'd received many moons ago.

I made a 60th card for my husband too but ......

Talking of Moons.

Here's my photo of the Strawberry Full Moon taken on our Summer Solstice (20th June 2016).

This hasn't happened since 1947 and won't again coincide until 2062, a rare occasion.

Happy WOYWW everyone, and especially to those who always comment on my blog but to which I am unable to respond due to the Google+ malarkey. If only you had an email I could write back on, that would help.

Scavenger Hunt 2016 : Part 7

Got my friend #20 Someone Laughing at church today.

Rather ironic as it is Father's Day today and I was a mess (see previous log) sobbing my eyes out and then laughing as they weren't even playing "Amazing Grace" which is the usual one to set me off as it was the song I chose for Dad's funeral.

For those following along with the Scavenger Hunt this is the Mum of the #17 Twins I posted in Part 3.


Oh and for the record here is my husband in his work logo lycra. #15 A Team Logo.

Just those pesky #14 Food and #19 Drink items to go now!!!

I might be better off with a Baby Lighthouse - LOL

Scavenger Hunt 2016 : Part 6

Not getting very far with the last 4 items left on my list (09; 14; 19; 20 plus the 2 alternatives).

Slightly missed an opportunity of a selfie when we had a downpour yesterday although you can just about see my reflection in the window when I got this shot of the rain in a puddle.

#09 Someone playing with, in or around water.

I was playing there honest!




I'm totally entranced by #13 The Moon these days and it is "nearly" full here now.

Here is my initial crescent photo a few weeks ago.


Also yesterday evening nearly full lingering over the fields after the downpour.


Then today I captured a photo from NASA TV of the Soyuz Spacecraft undocking from the International Space Station (ISS) as our astronaut Tim Peake returns to earth.

As for the last items, food and drink will always be a problem for me. And someone laughing, well you just have to be ready to capture the moment, don't you?

The Scavenger Hunt lasts until September, why not join in too.

Scavenger Hunt 2016 : Part 5

After my flurry of photos at the start of the hunt I have certainly slowed down for the last few.

This is all I can manage for 
#07 A Family Gathering.
It is just the 3 of us having Sunday Lunch.













#16 A map showing a trip taken during the time period.

I did a bit of geocaching on Saturday, here's where I went. I found caches at the 3 smiley faces shown on the map and aerial photo, all close to the church I go to.













I did get another #13 Moon shot and spotted my Mother's Day card which deserves a mention for #03 Skeleton.

The remaining few might be a bit bothersome....

Scavenger Hunt 2016 : Part 4

Had to go shopping today to our local Asda here in the UK so where better to get some scavenger photos. Never thought shopping could be so much fun!

#11 Fresh Produce

Went with a green theme here.







#18 A Supermarket Cart, Basket or Trolley Full of Groceries.
Three photos just to make sure you get the picture!



#15 A Team Logo


I took this photo of my work tunic logo to add to my work colleague contacts on my phone so I could distinguish them calling without my glasses on!! I have just realised that it fits a scavenger hunt item, well that was serendipitous!


#06 A Camper (Caravan) 

My neighbour came home but I didn't catch it before it was parked in the garden again!

Enjoying the Scavenger Hunt again this year

Scavenger Hunt 2016 : Part 3

Scavenger Hunt 2016 and I'm on a roll.

First up #03 A Skeleton, Bone or X-ray.

Last night's dinner of lamb chops! YUM!


Then a couple of my son's skeleton's;

a wooden T-rex and

a glow in the dark one,

although I thought it best NOT to look in the closet/cupboard - LOL.


#04 A Book Magazine Read During 2016.






I'm doing the mammoth, read The Bible in a year again, so thought that this would count.

I've reached near the end of 2 Chronicles in the Old Testament and near the end of John in the New.


#05 A Porch or Deck

Our Front Porch - sorted.

#12 A Window

Took these two at church today.






#13 The Moon

Well would you know whilst watching, "12 Years a Slave" last night on the TV what should appear but a lovely moon so I took a photo of it.












#17 Twins

Again at church today, got the permission of my friend to take a picture of her 14yr old boy twins.

Yep on a roll.
