Joining in with the lovely Hawthorn at I live, I love, I craft, I am me.
1. A is for...

2. LUNCH.
A picnic in the park surrounding a dam in Ballarat. One from the archives.
3. 11 0'clock.
Taken last week on day that was chucking it down with rain and we were going to a quilt shop (oh dear), so I could get some backing fabric to finish a few quilts. When I saw the sign we couldn't stop, so took it on the way home & it was still raining. I thought this category was going to be a no, no, so I count myself lucky.
4. BLACK & WHITE.
The lighthouse at Dungeness. Taken on our recent UK trip. The beach of shingle is amazing.
5. LOOKING UP.
Ripon Cathedral. This hand is lit up and looks quite spooky. One of the volunteers did tell me why it was there, but I've forgotten. Sorry! Again, taken on our recent trip.
6. T is for....
Train. This little blue train is another from our time at Dungeness.
7. LANDSCAPE
Another photo taken whilst in UK, as we were heading home from visiting Timble, a small village in North Yorkshire near Swynsty Reservoir. I did like this little village and would have liked to have explored, but time wasn't on our side.
8. TWO.
Two odd thongs (flip flops for those overseas). They were on the banks of the Cotter River near Canberra, taken last Xmas, whilst visiting our youngest son who lives there. Why? I guess we'll never know.
9. SWING.
This is the "Swing" Bridge near Sale in Eastern Victoria. One from the archives.
10. MY OWN CHOICE.
Now what is celebrated this weekend? HALLOWEEN!!!!! I thought this pile of pumpkins was an appropriate photo for my own choice. Taken at a garden show in Melbourne in 2014.
I hope everyone enjoys my odd bunch of photos for this month's photo hunt.
Thanks Hawthorn for these 'thinking outside the box', challenges, I do so like taking part and also see what others come up with too. That doesn't sound right, but it will have to do.
Take care all and have a good weekend.
Susan.
PS. Think I'm early with this one, but we have a busy few days coming up, so am posting tonight as we have an early start tomorrow to get to Ballarat, to help a friend cut up a tree that was downed in some wild weather a couple of weeks ago.
Hello hello hello! You are early but what a wonderful selection :) I do love how everyone sees things differently, your thongs/flip flops made me smile as did your happy pile of pumpkins - have fun sorting out that tree :) x
ReplyDeleteThanks Hawthorn. Sorry, I'm early but this one seemed like a challenge to start with and yet I've loved doing it instead. I'll email possibly Saturday & catch up with some news.
DeleteLovely photos, I like how you've included ones from home and ones from half way around the world too. The hand in Ripon Catherdral is mechanical and was used to conduct the choir.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo and for the info on the hand. You jigged my memory once you'd said what it was and I've remembered. It was the most amazing place with all the fretwork, carving and even the beautiful tapestry kneelers.
DeleteThe Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway has small carriages but I went on it years ago when my sons were small. They are now in the 40's!!! Happy memories.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't actually go on it, but thought it so cute. Gee, you have children in their 40's too. Our girls will be 44 in December & a son 40 that month also and our youngest son turning 39 in January. Don't they grow up quick?
DeleteGreat photos Susan; some definitely fall into the category 'thinking outside the box' eg the swing bridge. My favourite is the Arches. Not sure I've been there which is no excuse since we do not live too far away.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The arches are at Fountains and no, not too far from you and well worth a visit.
DeleteLovely photos- I like the lighthouse.
ReplyDeleteArilx
Thanks Aril. I'm off to pop over & look at the other Hunt photos shortly.
DeleteHI Susan. Love your interpretations. I too have pictures taken in the cellarium at Fountains Abbey. Wonderful place. The flip flops made me smile too - you realise there is another pair just like that somewhere!! Love the park in Ballarat. Quite a few murders took place there in the 'Doctor Blake Mysteries' so I feel I know it well! We have been very close to those 'golf balls' as we were driving home from Ripon when we came upon an accident and all traffic was being diverted around that way. It was an interesting diversion. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jak for all the lovely comments. You're the first person in UK to have watched Doctor Blake Mysteries that I know of, so thanks again for that comment too. I love seeing the golf balls in the sky & we saw them twice on our travels.
DeleteGreat finds. I hope your trip is a good one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy. We had a wonderful time in UK & as usual I miss it soooooo much. Lots more posts hopefully about it over the coming months.
DeleteInteresting choices. Happy Halloween.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanna. It's great thinking of things to go with the words & sometimes they are tricky. We don't really do the Halloween thing, but I remembered that photo & thought, why not!
DeleteI like your choices. It's always interesting to see how people interpret a prompt. I hope you're ok and enjoying some nice spring weather. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Gillian. I do enjoy these photo hunts. I think you may have posted over the weekend, so I need to do a bit of a catchup. I'm just about to post about our weekend before we head off to DD's tomorrow.
