Photo Scavenger Hunt : October

The months are really flying by and I can't believe it's already time for the latest Scavenger Hunt. Thanks as always to Greenthumb at Made with Love for organising the hunt. I thought a couple of the categories were going to be tough but, in the end, I finished a few days ahead of the deadline. Here's my entry.

O is for...? : Origami.

6pm : Cooking dinner. You'll see the result in my next cookery book challenge update.

Morning : Grey Heron silhouetted against the lake in the pink light of morning - see below for the sky.

Something you bought : A snuggly throw and butterfly cushion from Aldi. Chickpea's boyfriend loved the throw so much, he bought one for himself!

Light : The atrium at Liverpool Central Library, looking up to the skylight.

Close up : A shield bug on the last of the rudbeckia flowers in my garden.

Favourite : One of my favourite things is to try out new cake recipes from my favourite cake cookbook. This is the Harvest spiced apple cake I mentioned in my last post.

Lunch : Mum's homemade pea and ham soup.

Childhood : Photos of me (and my Mum and brother) before I was 5 years old.

Your sky : 7am, 20 October 2014.

Colour : Beautiful autumn leaves.

Your shoes : New trainers bought over the summer. They're actually a bit big for me and I'd meant to take them back. Luckily I didn't, as they're the only shoes I can currently wear as my little toe is still recovering from a soft tissue injury (and that's also why the lacing on my right foot is so loose).

If you're intrigued and fancy giving the hunt a go, hop over to the Hunt and you'll find the categories for November. It's just a bit of fun and no-one minds if you have to dip into your archive or even miss a couple of categories out: it's just interesting to see what everyone comes up with.

Last but not least, I wanted to say hello to my new followers - you are most welcome. Thanks also to those who regularly visit and comment.

Happy Halloween everyone! x
