June Photo Scavenger Hunt: of instruments, habitats and other strange constructions

Hi there,

Here's my monthly contribution to Jill's Photo Scavenger Hunt (the lovely Greenthumb at Made with love).

B is for ?

....Brass instrument; specifically, the French horn.

10am

It's 10am in the Fisherprice kitchen!

Spoon

The coolest wooden cooking spoons ever!  Should you get bored with cooking, turn them round and play the drums on the saucepans!
Puppet

As my husband helped the small child with the Lego game, little did he know that a Giraffe was after his drink!

You again
IMG_3850
I watched these two birds on the telephone wire go backwards and forwards, meeting once and then again and again.  They had a good inspection of each other before parting. 

Water

I had a zillion and one river and lake shots but I thought I'd admire the subtleties of the washing-up water.

Habitat
IMG_3956
The houses of Parliament.  Habitat of the Greater-spotted out-of-touch-politican Michael Gove and rarely the Lesser-spotted 'Has an idea what it's like to be teacher'.

Just seen, bee-hive, habitat of my Grandfather's remaining bees and the woodland idyll that has been theirs for a long time. 

Soccer
To my shame, nada. I tried to capture the dog playing football in the park but failed!

Calm

Calm waters in the park.

Man made
IMG_3936
In the hands of God, the frog is small, green, and rounded. In the hands of a 3 year old, it is robust, rainbow and has 4 wings!

Open
IMG_3983
My flute is an 'open-holed flute' it means the keys have the centre cut out instead of being a solid key/button. It's an individual decision made by each player as to whether they have an open-holed flute or a closed-hole flute, though more advanced players and pros tend to go for open-holed flutes whereas beginners always have closed-holes. In this picture, the open-holed keys are also open. Double open.

Steam

Steam from the barbecue.


If you've not joined in before, DO!!! I've had two blog-friends join in after reading my monthly posts and very well they have done it! It could be YOU next!

  2. Brilliant! I love the parliament houses best but only because of the caption that succeeded it. Well, okay, the manmade caption was choice too! ;p
