JANUARY SCAVENGER PHOTO HUNT (2018)

And so begins the first of our Photo Hunts for 2018 & linking with Kate & friends once again.
Just a quick note to say thank you to all my last post's comments, but have not had much energy of late due to this persistent heat & humidity, which is very sapping.  If I don't leave replies from this post, it's because we have the last of grandie minding for a few days. Maybe I'll be able to pop by & have a quick catchup, as Little E enjoys seeing what I pick for this hunt.

1.   YELLOW.

I couldn't help myself with this one.  It is the back of our friends Morris Minor Panel Van and it was taken back in November 2017 after a decision, that we'd like to go along to the Morris Minor Nationals, which were being held here in Melbourne.  When we belonged to MM clubs, we nearly always attended, but as we belong to a mixed type car club, locally these days, we don't tend to see what is going on with the Moggies.  We were able to enter ours int the Commercial class & pulled in alongside this.  We knew exactly who it belonged to, as they are very old friends from the time we first joined an MM club back in Hobart, Tasmania in 1987.  An enjoyable event & good to catch up with old friends.

2.   STARTS WITH AN O.

Here we have a beautiful small organ in centre back of photo.  This is a very naughty photo.  Taken at Temple Newsam in Leeds, where it transpired, I wasn't supposed to be taking photos.  There were no notices anyway & we'd payed at the entrance, where I had my large camera hanging from my neck, so it was in full view.  I didn't have to delete any, but was asked not to take anymore.

3.   LIGHT.

Sunlight glinting on the water at Wagonga Inlet in Narooma, which is on the south coast of N.S.W.  This was taken whilst eating lunch on our way home from the trip to Sydney last year.  I wanted to be different, I hope.

4.   FOUND.

Our Morris Minor when pulled from a farmer's blackberry patch.  Maybe it could have looked like the one above, but alas, once moved to bring home, the van part actually fell off from all the rust.  Most people who follow my blog will know what she looks like now and if not, I'll remedy that on my next post.  Whoops, just realised this hunt is a bit MMish!!!


5.   COLOURFUL.

Although I've shown the begonias in the glasshouses at Ballarat Botanic Gardens before, I felt they deserved a place here, in this category, as they do have such a broad colour range.

6.   MY OWN CHOICE.

I've debated much over this, as I've so many I could use.  With the suffocating heat at the moment, I keep thinking about being cooler & remembering lovely days out touring & walking through the northern English country side.  This  particular photo was taken at the Cow & Calf on Ilkley Moor.
The colours seem cool & relaxing for me today & bring back some wonderful memories of  lying in the heather gazing up at the sky & watching some intrepid climbers braving the cliff face.

OK, that's my lot for today, but I am leaving you with one last photo.

Not called for, but it is AUSTRALIA DAY in Oz and this is the photo I used back in 2013 to celebrate it on my..............wait for it.........................fifth ever post.  That makes it five years now that I've actually been blogging.  Well I never thought I'd get to that and meet & make so many friends along the way.   Thanks to all who follow & make my life better.
Take care & huggles, Susan.
