Time again for our photo hunt linking up with the lovely
Kate. No the easiest this month for me, but here's what I came up with.
1. LOST/FOUND.
This one (I think), I found the most difficult. Not getting out much this month because of heat, fires etc., I'd not even really thought about the hunt. Luckily I scoured both my archives and other bits'n'bobs & noticed this sitting in my library of DVDs.
A word for "lost" and the "found" part is that I actually found something.
2. PRINT/S.
A set of black & white prints my late mother-in-law gave me many years ago. These are of Leeds & I framed them in certificate frames, which I felt suited them well & they have hung in our spare bedroom in each house we've lived in.
3. LUNCH.
Lunch for a pair of King Parrots at our poor now defunct feeder, as the post rotted and fell down whilst we were away in UK last year. We must resurrect it soon. Their water bowl is still there & plenty of birds use it to drink.
4. STARTS WITH M.....
OK, I couldn't make up my mind with this one, so all 3 have a place.
 |
| MOSS |
The most sumptuous mossy wall. This photo was taken on a walk in the Lakes District with my friend Jayne.
 |
| MALHAM COVE. |
The gorgeous Malham Cove, somewhere I love. I think I took this in 2014, when we said that we'd do the steps up the side next time we visited. Sad to say, we've been back to UK twice and still not done them.
 |
| MORRIS MINOR. |
Our beloved car with a rose arbour framing it.
Sorry about that lot, but this is what happens to a mad woman on a seering hot day of 40 degrees.
Ooh, it's yuk..............fires close to our son again in Canberra.... worrying times.
5. ENDS WITH T.....
 |
| CRAFT. |
And then---------------these all end with T too. We have crochet, knit, quilt and woodcraft, which are my wool bowl & cute cat. My 3 items are all in progress at the moment, though slowly as it's been hot & not comfortable to knit or crochet much. The quilt has progressed from the photo last post to this and will be on the big machine before too long.
6. MY OWN CHOICE.
OK, this was something I saw on the internet & thought about how some people have chosen a word for this year & this sort of fell into place for me. I need a kick up the butt occasionally & I struggle feeling like I'm worthwhile, so I'm plucking up the "courage" to do something about it. Maybe watch this space!
Enough of my waffling and I'm off to find a cooler spot in the house, (no cooler outlet here in the study) and also prepare our evening meal of cold meat & salad.
Hope everyone has a great weekend, stay cool or warm wherever you live.
Take care & huggles from Susan.
Oh Susan, you've been in my thoughts with all the awful news from Australia - I have freinds in Canberra too who said it's just been dreadful. But I hope you're coming out of the worst of it now.
ReplyDeleteFair play to you to get any crafting done in such heat and all your photos are great .... I particularly love the Mossy wall - that's a cooling photo - and the parrots. But I think I'm going to copy the Matisse saying - it's good having wee reminders to keep us on track on the days when we don't feel up to the challenges.
STay cool, take care and see you next month. Fil
Thank you Fil, and I owe you an email, which I'll try and do this weekend. Been too hot to do much, but I need to keep busy so a little of this'n'that gets done.
DeleteAll great choices and I love the mossy wall but my favourite just has to be the parrots, it's such a colourful shot :-)
ReplyDeletethanks Eunice.
DeleteSuperb choices this month Susan.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the Morris Minor, that is a very lovely vehicle to be driving around in.
love and {hugs} x
Thanks Julie. Glad you like our little Moggy. We've had several over the years & my first car was a dusty green sedan in the 60's.
DeleteYou'll definitely have to get your bird feeder sorted out, it looks like it was well frequented, you're feathered friends will be missing it. I love Malham Cove, you will definitely have to climb the steps when you're over again, the view is amazing from the top.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. We are thinking of a better place maybe for the feeder & will put it up come autumn. Maybe if we come, we'll do the steps together?
DeleteSome good photos there Susan. Hope it's cooler for you today, the cool change has arrived here, with a lovely downpour for the garden and the tank.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy. Been hot and cooler since your comment, but then you'd know.............Had a little rain, but it seems to be missing us with the bigger amounts.
DeleteSo glad you found the energy to do the photo hunt. I often think of Australia these days and wish we could swap some of our rain/cold/damp for a bit (not all!) of your hot/dry weather. I am liking the look of your quilt; hope to see it finished. You've put together an interesting set of photos but my favourite is your Morris Minor, in my favourite colour too! Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks M. Our weather is still being crazy & very smoky here today, although we've no fires near us. Another who loves our little Moggy......
Deletevery clever with the 'lost/found', keep cool and keep safe, thank you for joining in :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate & for this hunt each month. Been hectic here, so am off after these replies are done to look at next month's list. I'll talk to you soon.
DeleteOh yes, you need to repair your bird feeder, those parrots are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty colours in your quilt, that will be lovely when finished.
I wish we could send you some of our cooler weather and rain!
Thank you. Bird feeder to be repaired soon. We've had some cooler weather & a little rain, but norther parts of Oz are in for lashings of rain & cyclones now!!
DeleteThinking of you there in Aussie as our fire season begins - although it never gets as bad as you have it this year. Well done getting an interesting post up.
ReplyDeleteDiana
Thanks Diana. It's been a crazy summer, but we did share our smoke with you!
DeleteLovely photos. My favourites are the red Morris Minor and the King Parrots on your feeder:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rosie. Ah! Do you happen to like red?
DeleteHi, just found your blog, enjoyed it but couldn't find a "subscribe by email" button or "follow" button. My name is Susan also, I live in USA but my sister in law lives in Canada and was born in England with the last name of Smith. I just found that interesting.💖
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan. As I'm not too tech savvy, I'm not sure how to add an email/follow button. I have my list of followers on the side & know when their latest post comes up. Maybe I should try & learn a little more of how things work. Smith happens to be a very common name, but my DH was also born in the UK. I'll pop across to you blog soon & have a little look. thanks again.
DeleteGreat collection of photographs.
ReplyDeleteI think my favourites are the moss and the red Morris Minor.
Take care.
All the best Jan
Nice catch on the moss!!
