Without further ado, here is my set of photos in response to the prompts at Greenthumb's Made with love Blog
Something new
My something new could have been many things but I decided to use the photo of the new Cheeseboard my Mum bought us for Christmas which CBC and I christened today. He laid it out so nicely with cheese, pears and bread that it deserved some note.
Landscape
Two for you here. I took a walk in the park 2 Sundays ago and it was a brilliant day for taking photos, so sunny and bright. You could almost believe it was summer here!
The other is a photo I found of my Grandad's garden in its glory days. Oh what halcyon days they were, spending summers in this paradise. This wasn't the extent of it either.
Words
We went over to Grandad's house today because it is soon to be sold and there are still things to be cleared out.
Grandad had an enormous collection of books which I thought I had seen most of but I came back with a few books including the hugely interesting Dictionary of Place Names. I finally discovered where my birthtown's name came from and it wasn't what I expected! If you want me to find out yours for you, just pop me a comment.
Oh the words on the tea boxes are so intriguing!!! Mmmm, hawaiian cocktail flavoured tea???
Cold
My goodness, it was cold in the woods that day!
Bottle
Had I but thought of it, there have been great opportunities for this prompt! Alas, I was left to scamper around the house looking for an interesting placed bottle. This one won for the sheer bizarreness of what was behind it!
Up high
I thought the view of the school tower up high with the smoke blowing in front of it was rather a picture.
In the fridge
I tried taking pictures inside my fridge. Horrid. So you get the view of our rather cluttered fridge.
Texture
Dragon eye upon textured branch.
Hidden
Somewhere under the rocket, egg, peppers, Souper Green soup is some vermicelli.
Blue
A view of the ceiling in Les Deux Salons in Charing Cross, London.
Big
Big blue cockerel in Trafalgar Square on the Fourth Plinth.
What ever you want
Due to the amount of cooking in our friend's house as he cooked us a roast, the windows were steamed up. I naughtily drew some feet onto the window in the condensation and was struck by the eerie image cast by the lamp light behind

My golly so many things that you found and shared. Yay!!! Thanks for your warm welcome, Kezzie! It is so nice to be back. And, ...those flats of mine do have that 'military' vibe, don't they? lol ♥
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Jx
ReplyDeleteGreat interpretations - love the big blue rooster.
ReplyDeleteLove these posts and your interpretation of the titles! Loving the look of the soup and vermicelli. Also the ceiling is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant photos Kezzie. How obvious is it to use a book? Not to me, brain not in gear for that particular one, well done you! Suzy x
ReplyDeletePleased to meet you and join you in the scavenger hunt. I've enjoyed seeing your photos to illustrate January's list. I particularly liked the two that related to your Grandad's house, books and the Northumberland connection :)
ReplyDeleteI realy do like your set of photos, especially the things from your grandads house, that book looks fun to read.

Fiquei feliz com sua visita ao meu blog.
ReplyDeleteEu adorei a paisagem, a floresta fria, o teto azul em Londres e o galo azul.
Beijos
All great photos for your scavenger hunt. That's a lot of work ... You did a great job of finding suitable photos. I love your Grandad's garden.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week Kezzie.
Here we're having another storm.
Hugs,

I love the third picture with the roses :)

I love this. And that vermicelli looks SO delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in this months scavenger hunt. What great photos you have taken of big, blue, something new and I never saw that kind of tea when I was in Hawaii. Greenthumb
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are SO FUN today! Such a great variety!
ReplyDeleteI love the dictionary of place names and the cheese board!
You are such a clever being. Your use of the terms was so fun and your photos lovely. Your grandpa's garden was my favorite but that poop on the log is pretty rad too :) xo
ReplyDeleteMmmm bread and cheese, lush. Definitely give those teas a miss I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteWell done on completing the challenge.

Couldn't agree more about photos being easier to take in the summer...everything just looks so drab at present. Your cheese board looks delicious, love the blue cock and your grandad's garden also. So glad you described Texture, I thought it was a dog poo at first glance! Then I put my specs on!

Great selection, Kezzie ~ Nice cheeseboard and arrangement :) Also loved your grandad's garden, and funny about footprints on the window... Bold and brilliant big blue rooster.
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of photos - Your grandad's garden looked lovely and that book of place names looks fascinating, I could spend hours in there looking up names of places all around me, I think I'll have to look out for one! I'd love to know what Upperhulme means (that's the hamlet where I grew up) often spelled as Upper Hulme.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun collection, Kezzie, especially the rooster in Trafalgar Square. I saw it last spring, and it was such a disconnect among all the more formal artwork.
