Photo scavenger hunt : February 2015

It's time for the monthly Scavenger Hunt organised by Greenthumb at Made with Love. I can't believe it's the end of February already - the year is flying by! Anyway, here's this month's selection...


Flowers : February's fair maids in my parents' garden. I did a post about snowdrops last year and the brooch I made.


Love : A decopatch decoration on my mantelpiece. You can see the full February theme in my header.


Number : Lots of them. But which direction should we go in?


Something beautiful : A view down the River Ribble.


Your favourite colour : Blue. I drooled over this display in Next.


Bird : Robin Redbreast, who was very obliging and posed patiently while I fumbled around with my camera.


On the road : Buses, cars, vans, taxis and cyclists on Oxford Road in Manchester.


Tap : I was hoping to find something more decorative but this tap in the park was the best I could come up with.


Price : The specials menu at Frankie and Benny's where we went to celebrate the birthday of Chickpea's boyfriend. It's one of our favourite restaurants as we love the atmosphere.


Heart : When I cut open this plum, the 2 sides made perfect heart shapes.


Corner of your house : My kitchen, looking much tidier than usual. I didn't choose the units or tiling - it was like this when we moved in 5 years ago.


Whatever you want : Chinese lanterns decorating St Ann's square in Manchester.

If you'd like to take part, head over to the Scavenger Hunt site where you'll find the categories for March.

Have you got anything nice planned for the weekend? We're heading off to Manchester today to meet up with some friends. Tomorrow, quilting and baking is on the agenda as well as the usual housework necessities. Have a good one whatever your weekend brings. x

    Lovely photos Julie. I particularly like Heart...very clever. Also drawn to the Chinese lanterns, the snowdrops and the busy street. Housework and baking is on my agenda this weekend too.

    Great heart! Can't believe it has been 5 yrs. Wish I had known you were traveling to NY for dinner. You must have won the lottery. LOL. Cleaning the basement and doing some skiing this weekend. Have a good one.

    Just lovely, Julie! The River rubble shot was beautiful, and I loved the colorful Chinese lanterns. How nice that your robin redbreast cooperated. Your mantlepiece looked festively February for sure! My weekend is Honolulu filled ~ so nice to have a break from the snowy cold in Colorado! Enjoy your quilting and baking tomorrow. It's probably tomorrow where you are, since I'm so much further west!

    Lovely set of photos Julie, I like Love and something beautiful as the River Ribble use to run past our garden when I lived at home in Langcliffe, spent many happy hours in that river.

    Lovely photos - the view along the river is beautiful as are the snowdrops. Robins always seem to stay awhile and pose fpr the camera don't they? I've enjoyed all your photos:)
