November Photo Scavenger Hunt

Hey there! Here are some photos I took for Greenthumb's photo scavenger hunt!

01 Gold

02 Five

03 Patterns

IMAG0132

Some exquisite examples of early guitars in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford with beautiful patterning. They've got a super collection of instruments there including the Messiah Stradivari, one of the most purest Strads in the best condition in the world!

04 Bread

Mmmm, the COOP do a really nice olive bread which I managed to get reduced to 35p in the supermarket. Bread is really expensive nowadays. This was £1.30 originally. I remember when 35p was expensive for bread!! (Showing my age!)

05 Happiness

What is happier than a cat being tickled behind the ear. Especially an affectionate tabby. Should have smuggled her in my suitcaseWish. She. Was. Mine.

06 Rain

Ok, so I am cheating! It really WAS raining as we took these, BUT what you can see is a waterfall in front of the rain!!!

07 Traffic

Epic fail!!! I didn't manage to get a photo of any traffic

08 Boxes

Box, singular. I forgot to share this before but we found this rather cute Bicycle box in TK Maxx when looking for something for people to put their cards into at the wedding. You can get lots of fancy, expensive items for this but we rather liked this box!

09 Staircase

IMAG0129

Another useless photo but fits the bill! At the Ashmolean museum, I had left my camera in the car. It has the most wonderful atrium- you can see all the staircases and all the levels. My sister in law, who is a structural engineer thinks it's genius so it must me!

Here's CBC's better photo

Ashmolean stairs

10 Sunset

IMAG0155

Terrible photo but I saw a lovely sunset and all I had was my awful HTC phone camera- not captured another one this month!

Here's a nicer one I took in Lake Como,Italy on my honeymoon, that I haven't shared yet. Sunset by a pool- bliss!

11 Park

IMAG0144

My local park has recently installed a couple of water features into the pond. They're rather nice though I don't really ever seem to have the time to look at them as I go to work as I am usually running to catch a train I am already late for!!!

12 Pair and 02 Five

IMG_9611

Two pairs of semi-quavers in a flower arrangement based on the Saint Cecilia at the church centenary, placed on a FIVE line stave. Aagain, BAAAD, photo quality! The light was terrible. But you can see the clever twisting of twigs!

It's been fun to join in Greenthumb at Made with Love's Scavenger Hunt. I've been meaning to join in this photo challenge and Sophie's Show and Tell for a while!
