Photo Scavenger Hunt: February

Here's my entry for February's Scavenger Hunt with a mixture of photos taken at home and out & about. Thanks once again to Greenthumb at Made with Love for hosting.


F is for... : Fern, in the fernery at Tatton Park.


3pm : Saturday 15th February, working on my quilt.


Grain : Grains of arborio rice.


Lamp : In my living room. The lampshade came with a different base which was the reason I bought it. I didn't even like the shade that much but it seemed a shame not to use it, so it's still here and I've gradually come to be very fond of it.


Clock : A very old kind of clock showing the time as 1pm.


Honey : Lovely, sweet , golden honey.


Fountain : A blast from my past though, in those days, Sherbert Fountains came in a paper tube with a piece of liquorice sticking out the top.


Round : Playground ride outside the Football Museum in Manchester.


Shadow : Curly shadows from this iron gate.


Group : A group of lovely, old-fashioned cloches in the kitchen garden at Tatton Park.


Repurpose : Plastic bottles repurposed into a scarecrow.


Clouds : Another photo taken at Tatton Park.

If you'd like to take part in March's hunt, head over to the Scavenger Hunt page for the new categories :)

  6. Hey Julie!
    I LOVE these photos! Your last photo reminds me of my header photo just now, the same kind of clouds!
    Did you see my post about the Englishman who first named the clouds? His name was LUKE HOWARD, which is funny to me since it sounds like LOOK HIGH-WARD! HA!! You might think me silly, but now, you will remember his name, right? :-)
    I want to go to the Football Museum and Tatton Park! xx OH! And I want that dish that has buttons on it, the one with the rice!! I'll take the lampshade too.

  8. Hi Julie, I so enjoy these Scavenger hunt posts that you do and your photos are wonderful as always. The milk carton scarecrow is very cool....I showed my daughter and she is now very keen that we keep all our milk cartons to make one!

    1. Hi Fiona, yes the fern was towering above us! I'll keep posting updates on the quilt as it will be ages before it's finished - I'm a slow quilter! X
