This month has not been easy for photo-hunting, but as I enjoy it so much, I love to join in. I find it challenging and all very thought provoking as to how to interpret some words without it being the obvious choice. Hope this published OK as I've done it before we went away.
1. BLUE.
 |
| Forget-me-nots just starting to flower. |
 |
| Bull's eye. Hubby got this one straight off last week. I don't do nearly as good. |
3. BUTTON.
 |
| Pretty buttons on a doll I made many years ago. |
 |
| My granddaughter Missy Moo, used to love this photo of Hubby & his girlfriend. She asked who the lady was, and we jokingly told her it was his girlfriend, to which she replied, she isn''t "real". |
5. FEET.
 |
| Where are they going? Where have they been? Who do they belong to? |
 |
| A large perfume bottle (no, I don't use it), bought in Berry on the NSW south coast where I worked in the bank at one time. There was a handmade glass shop across the road and I just couldn't resist this as it is so gorgeous. It was a drawcard at times,but I resisted all but twice. |
7. GREEN.
 |
| Road signs in GREEN! I thought this might be a giggle with some of our funny town names. They are all in our area of Victoria. |
 |
| Beautiful parquet at Castle Howard in Yorkshire. I took this photo in 2014, as I thought it could make a good quilt block pattern. |
9. KNITTED/CROCHETED.
 |
| The cupcake rug from Attic 24 coming along slowly. |
10. MY OWN CHOICE.
 |
| I found this utterly awesome. A crane manoeuvreing a narrow boat onto the canal marina at Stanley Ferry. Notice the pushbike on the end. You may have to click to enlarge. (trip to UK in 2014). |
Enjoy, take care and September will with us before we know it. Ah, Spring.
Susan.
Well done you! Excellent pictures, I love the different interpretations people give, each story intriguing as well as interesting. .. see you soon xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Hawthorn and I find everyone can give different meanings to the words. My granddaughter gave me a list to show you of words she thought would be good too. Must tell you what they are.
DeleteCool! Your sense of humor is in some of your choices, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanna. I do have fun with this challenge, although sometimes it doesn't come together as you want it to.
DeleteWow! Well done. This month Hawthorn has a levitating dog and you have a levitating canal boat!! Love it.
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't phoned yet, will try to catch you tomorrow or Thursday. xx
Well spotted. I didn't even think of it. Talk soon.
DeleteAnother interesting interpretation of Hawthorn's list. Why didn't I think of feet? We have loads in our fields.... Whilst I do like Attic 24 and her blog/crochet work, I think I will choose your canal boat levitating. I just love to see heavy equipment moving stuff around!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I thought your feet were great and wished I'd thought of it (I have enough with my Bernina). Funny how the canal boat levitating is being liked so much.
DeleteLove those place names. Giving instructions must be fun!! I love your cupcake rug - the colours are delicious. Real icing colours. All the details in the canal boat picture make it my favourite. Each time I look at it I see something different going on. x
ReplyDeleteThank you. I must admit some of our town names are strange, but then I look at maps for other countries and we are not alone.
DeleteGreat photos. That parquet would make a lovely quilt block, it's funny where you find patterns, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. Yes, I find quilt patterns in all sorts of places. So lovely seeing you yesterday after 2 years. Talk again soon.
DeleteHa, Nar Nar Goon! We used to live there.... it was a nice place! Yes the names are pretty funny in that area... Hope you are having a lovely break xx
ReplyDeleteI remembered when I was putting that photo on that you lived there many years ago. Yes we enjoying now that the jetlag is abating and just revisiting some familiar places until we finish this first bit of housesitting. Hope you enjoy your break in mid September too.
DeleteLovely selection. Love the town names - we have tremendous fun in the office with certain people trying to pronounce welsh village names x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. Must admit that some of the Welsh names look so unpronounceable, but I suppose it's because I only speak English or maybe that should be Australian(giggle).
DeleteLove the photos. I love watching cranes working - the higher and bigger the better!!! Watching one yesterday and wondered how the driver got up to his cab high up on the jib!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Cranes are amazing things & not sure whether they climb a ladder of have a small lift type thingy. Must find out.
DeleteWhat interesting photos you have included. I have enjoyed looking at them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for popping in and glad you enjoyed.
DeleteI love your pics - we saw the sign for Koo Wee Rup when we were down your way in March - I loved the Australian place names and was trying to catch enough of them to do a post but I think I asked hubby to slow down once too often lol And the glass bottle is exquisite. A great look at life.
ReplyDeleteThank you Fil. Glad you enjoyed & it brought back memories of your trip to Oz. I'll have a look at your blog soon.
ReplyDeleteThose place names made me laugh! Great pictures. I thought your interpretations were really imaginative. The photo of the crane moving the narrow boat is amazing! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Gillian. I wish I was taking more photos at the moment whilst away, so will make sure the September pics are linked to where we've been.
DeleteHello Susan, what a lovely selection of photos and I love how you've interpreted the words. Your 'eye' is genius! Also, like Hawthorn, I love the green place names - they are very funny:)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I thought some might think them strange, although I'm having a laugh at some I'm seeing whilst away too.
