Photo Scavenger Hunt : July

Another month has flown by and it's time for the photo Scavenger Hunt organised by Greenthumb at Made with Love. Here's what I found in July.


C is for...? : Shiny chrome on a Chevrolet car.


9pm : I actually found this one of the most difficult categories, mainly because we never seem to be doing anything particularly interesting in the evening! So, here I am, cocktail in hand (not my usual pose!) watching a new TV series, The 100 (OK, not brilliant).


Stem : The stems of my wine glasses in the kitchen cupboard. My friend's Dad gave them to me: he got them free with petrol vouchers!


Pool : Rock pool near Silverdale (a post about our day trip coming soon).


Dough : Freshly cooking doughnuts.


Liquid : A Caribbean Breeze cocktail (white rum, coconut rum, pineapple juice and cranberry juice).


Lever : I thought this would be a challenge but it turned out to be one of the first I found. An eagle-eyed Chickpea spotted the pillar as we turned into the road leading to Rivington. Lever Park was gifted to the people of Bolton by William Hesketh Lever, Lord Leverhulme, and opened in 1904. He is best known for being the founder of the soap firm Lever Brothers (later Unilever) and creator of the model village, Port Sunlight.


On the wall : A stunt woman riding on the Wall of Death at the Stars & Stripes American car show.


Together : Chickpea and her boyfriend.


In your bag : A present and birthday card for a friend.


Your view of today : The view from the bench where we had our picnic at Silverdale. Movingly, there was the following paving stone in front of the bench commemorating Ted, who 'never tired of this view'.



Sweet : Sugar shakers in a restaurant.

If you'd like to take part in next month's Hunt, the categories for August have already been published. Or why not just go over and have a look at the other entries? There's always lots of great ones. x

  1. Great photos. Love the wall death, it always amazes me that they can do that and I'm not surprised Ted never tired of that view.

  2. Great photos! I do love shiny chrome on old cars; my first car was a Beetle with lovely chrome bumpers. Your 'on the wall' is fantastic!

  5. I love that you took the photo of the quote by Einstein. I love all the little plaques attached to the benches in England, "To....., who enjoyed this view.". That gives me fond memories of Eastbourne. xx

  8. Great collection of photos. Oddly, I almost photographed Lever Lane when we were near Rivington Pike - I passed it and planned to photograph it on the way back, but then we took a different route so I didn't pass it again! Great shot for 'on the wall'

  10. Wow! What a great selection of photos beginning with that shiny chrome Chevy. Great find for Lever by Chickpea...enjoyed the added information about Lever as well. On the wall is 'off the wall' dangerous! Super photo. Love the gift for your friend and your stemware was a great idea. Sugary sweet sums it up!
