Photo scavenger hunt: October 2015

It's the end of the month, which must mean it's time for the Scavenger Hunt. Not surprisingly, my photos have a very autumnal feel about them and several were taken during our walk in the woods last weekend. Thanks as always to Jill at Greenthumb for organising it: here's my entry.


Question: The split in this tree trunk looks just like a question mark.


Cream: The inner flesh of a horse chestnut case.


Number: 28. The number of starlings gathered on this telegraph pole.


Lattice: Wooden trellis at Tatton Park.


Familiar: Our usual path through the woods.


Ring: Ring, ring goes the bicycle bell.


Today: Pumpkin-spiced latte and an apple and walnut muffin - the taste of autumn.


Down: This stag was having a snooze down in the long grass at Tatton Park.


Writing: Letters carved into a tree.


Many: Layers and layers of fungi.


Broken: A wall which has collapsed.


Whatever you want: This little fellow was munching on a monkey nut. A lady had just brought a bagful and there were squirrels running in all directions with nuts in their mouth. Some ate them straightaway whilst others were burying them for later. This one was so cute with his white tummy.

I missed taking part in the Hunt last month and am so glad I managed to get my act together this time. If you'd like to join in with the November hunt, head over to the web site where you can see the categories and this month's entries.

Hope you all have a great weekend. As I mentioned last time, we're heading into the city for pizza and James Bond. Maybe a pumpkin cocktail or two as well :) x

    Such beautiful Autumnal shots.The bicycle bell is a great idea for bell and the creamy flesh of the inside of a horsechestnut shell for cream. Gorgeous wildlife too. :)

    I enjoyed your collection! It's amazing to me how different our interpretations of the prompts can be! But I can see we both love to photograph nature. ;)

    Oh dear, I am sorry for the grey squirrels that you have in England now. I have read that they are becoming a pest in certain areas, not being native to your island, they are crowding out your red squirrel.
    Love the shot of the stag horn in the grass, that must be a huge animal! xx

    Wonderful photos, I love them all but especially like Mr. Squirrel and the fungi, the inside of the horse chestnut and the sleepy stag. The pumpkin latte sound tasty too:)

    A wonderful collection of October photos, starting with that terrific question mark... Such a variety of autumn images, all quite unique ~ especially the stag antlers, and the insides of the chestnut casing. That is a quite a murder of crows!! Love the layers of many fungi, too ~ all great shots, and hope you enjoy the movie night out.

    These are wonderful photos, and they tie together so well. I love the question mark, and the starlings, and the chestnut, and the path, and, oh, ALL of them!

    Great interpretations - love the question mark in the tree - and the elk, and the leaves, and the nut - oh guess I love them all. And the birds especially!!

    I love your interpretations of the Scavenger Hunt, I really must have a go one day! I love the tree trunk, probably questionning why it was cut :-) xx

    Beautiful photos and I love your interpretations of the prompts - particularly the question mark - it was hard to find. And the birds are brilliant - I'm loving seeing how brilliant everyone's photos are - it's helping me try to get beyond the 'snaps' stage lol

    These are wonderful photos, Julie! That question mark was a fortuitous find! The stag was magnificent, and those mushrooms were striking. I'm glad to see you back this month! I missed your photos last time! Hugs!

    I love the shot of the fungus and the birds, very original both of them. I have to say the "today" shot looks best to me - sitting in a cafe with a muffin and one of those delicious spiced lattes - yes please.
