Photo Scavenger Hunt 1.

I SO love taking photos!  My camera comes everywhere with me and I don't need much of an excuse to use it, so I was excited to sign up for this summers Photo Scavenger Hunt, organised by Rinda. 


I'm doing quite well with my list, and had an unexpected surprise recently.  After dropping off Summer,  my daughter phoned to say she'd just seen a horse drawn carriage at our village church.  Well, since my  granddaughter LOVES horses we just had to run across!  I thought Summer was going to burst with excitement as she dragged me down the road and not only did we see the horses, but also the bride.  Two on my list for my scavenger hunt!

In my excitement I forgot to take a photo of the church!  But not to worry, because 

in the next village there was also a statue of an angel.

Other ransom photos were also taken locally 

 and more photos added when we attended the 'Opera in the Orchard'.  

One of my favourite photos taken was of the orchestra, but while on holiday I took another photo of someone playing a musical instrument that I liked even more.  I added a trail, and on other days out there were more photos to tick off my list .

So!  Progress is being made and I am having great fun.  In putting this together I realise there have been missed opportunities, but time is on my side and my camera is ready to go!  Today Rinda is hosting a mid-summer link up party.  A great chance to catch up and to see what photos others have taken.  If you would like to do this too, here's the link.  And it may not be too late for you to join in, if you are not already doing so!

FIVE GO TO THE FOREST

I am busy packing the camper for a week away with my daughter and granddaughters.  Synchronicity (I'm not sure if that is a word but it sounds good) is a funny thing. And it often pops up when I look at Alexa's posts.  Because today she wrote about Enid Blyton, and coincidently I have packed a copy of the Famous Five to take with us.  My eldest granddaughters have started to venture off with their friends, just locally, but out of sight.  A scary time, I remember when my own children were small and I had to start untying the knot in my stomach so that they could learn to be independent.  They think they are quite adventurous and as 5 of us going away it seemed the perfect book to take for bedtime reading.

We are also taking our camera's.  And as a bit of fun I have done a scavenger hunt, sparked by Rinda's summer challenge.  And the fun I had away with friends recently.  But instead of being by the water this time, we shall be staying in a forest.  There will be wooden animal sculptures to find and a host of other things, and we shall be going to see King Lear in the Theatre in the Forest.  The weather is promised to be kind, hot even, and I need to finish packing.  So, I will tell you more on my return.  Because right now it's time for 5 to go to the forest for an adventure!
