JUNE SCAVENGER PHOTO HUNT.

Linking up with the lovely Hawthorn at  I LIVE, I LOVE, I CRAFT, I AM ME.

1.  STONE.

Stone sculpture.

We holidayed in outback New South Wales in 2008  and visited a Sculpture Trail in Broken Hill. which (if we remember rightly) were commissions from sculptors for the Millennium.

2.  VIEW.

Kata Tjuta, formerly The Olgas near Alice Springs.

This time I've trawled even further back into the archives to feature something different.  In 1996, we travelled to Central Australia with the Morris Minor Touring Club of Australia in our Morris ute.  At this stage we still camped in  a three man tent, and had loads of fun.  I scanned this one from a photo as I didn't have digital camera back then, so hope the quality is OK.

3.  SKY.

Morning sky.

I took this photo the morning before Hawthorn put the June Hunt list up.  Wasn't I lucky with SKY as one of our pics..  It looked as though someone had dragged a huge paintbrush across the horizon.

4.  TREES.

Dead trees in the Hume Reservoir.

Again, one from the archives.  Not sure about that date, but this a large dam near Albury on the Victorian/N.S.W.. border into which the Murray River flows.
I should do a geography lesson on Australia or put on a map at the top of my page if I knew how!!!

5.  WATER.

Powlett River.

I've shown this river before not long ago on a day out, but we have water in the river and waves breaking on the beach behind, from Bass Strait.  You may have to click on this to view larger.

6.  DWELLING.

Old Farmhouse.

I took this last week.  We have been passing by this house since we moved here in 2004,  on trips to the coast and watching it slowly decay.  We often say it needs some TLC, but it would now be very major work.

7.  GARDEN.

Wishful thinking!

Ballarat Botanic Gardens in summer, early 2015.

8.  GATE.

Must be done.

This was taken on the same trip as No. 2, at a camel farm east of Alice Sptings.

9.  LEAF.

Yes, a leaf.

I have a small collection of Carltonware (much reduced these days) and made this my leaf photo, to show I can think outside the box.

10.  MY CHOICE.

Different, but similar, one being an Australian mammal and the other English.

Echidna.

Hedgehog.

The photo (right) is an Echidna photographed on a day out a few years ago near the south coast of Victoria.  I sat quietly for it turn around and then it even came over and sniffed me, before waddling away.  Their long snout finds ants in nests, which they feed on.









This photo(left) was taken whilst walking in woodland at Parceval Hall gardens in Yorkshire.  A little ball rolled down onto the path near my feet and then uncurled itself and lo and behold it was a hedgehog.  Again I stood quietly as hubby took a pic.







OK,  that's my lot.  Hope you enjoy and I'll endeavour to answer any questions you may have.
Have a great weekend all and take care.
Susan.
