August Scavenger Hunt: rides, daft poses, and precarious hats!

Hi there,

Thank you for your lovely spate of kind comments.  It's always really lovely in the summer- everything looks beautiful in sunshine and nature itself is just beautiful.  I've joined in with Greenthumb's Monthly challenge and some of them felt a bit difficult...

August's List
W is for?

Waterfalls. lots of them (head back here for a further post on the beautiful Skradinski Buk waterfalls in the Krka national park where you can see much more than this!)

5pm

I'm pretty sure it was about 4.30pm at this point but it's as close to 5pm as I could get. This is the world famous Southend pier which is a mile long in the distance, behind Adventure Island, formerly known as Peter Pan's Playground (at least it was called that when I last went about 22 years ago!). I spent the day there with my sisters and niece.

Everyday

I drink tea in copious quantities every day, night and day. It is the norm for me to make more than one cup for myself. CBC calls me the 'Tea Police' as I am very strict if I find...undrunk tea!
As I took this photo, and thought about it all month, I predicted that many of us will post pictures of cups of tea!


Centered 

I know it said 'Centered/centred' but these windows at St Mary's Chare, Hexham were so UN-centered, they merited attention! Unusual on a building.

Peace

The things people do to get a bit of peace!!! Reader spotted on Rannerdale knotts!


Ball

At the Slaley show, someone exhibited this cactus with er-ball-shaped things (babies)! Snigger...

Luggage 

Oh, the crazy opportunity I missed onboard the boat to Korcula- everyone had dumped their luggage in a massive heap!However, I found the luggage of this man in the restaurant rather sweet. Rubbish photo but I was trying to be subtle!

Under
The rollercoaster car appears to be defying gravity, under the track at Adventure Island, Southend which I visited with my two sisters and niece. SO glad I did not have to go on this one!


It also seemed like the snail was also defying gravity, hanging under the leaf



On your shelf

CBC has NOT commented on the hats on top of the bookshelf. They've been there quite a while. I'm wondering why. Is he just aware that they have to go SOMEWHERE and at least they're out of the way, or he just hasn't noticed them, or some other inexplicable reason.  I really should sort the hats into summer/Autumn/Winter but as things currently stand, anything that isn't a wooly or soft hat (these are neatly organised into a large plastic box) are all higgeldy-piggeldy in several locations around the house- the hat shelf in a cupboard, hanging on the end of curtain rails, on the floor of the study, shoved into the secret cupboard. 
I like the fact that these hats are sitting near to my Alexander McCall Smith collection- two things I love close together!
Oh and if you think my luuage is a little tenuous, then you can spy the luggage to the left that I am to take to school on Tuesday...

Something you do everyday 



...Encounter my husband doing something daft! Impressive Arabesque though!

Glitter

You have a couple of choices here:

Either the beautiful glittery beetle I spotted by the river Allen  (Louise please can you tell me its proper name?!) or the glittering reflection of the sun on Lake Crummock water:



Sunglass(es)


Bright sunglasses, spotted in Croatia
