August Scavenger Hunt 2015

Welcome to the August Scavenger Hunt run up! How good am I completing it by the end of the month!

Walk

CBC and I went to Burnham-on-Crouch, a  small town in Essex for the afternoon.  We just went on impulse but ended up having a lovely walk along the river.

Horizontal
Here is an example of a Horizontal maze at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire. Completed by CBC in 8 seconds after he completed the main maze in 3 minutes (the second time)!

Square
Squares made by the trellis. 4 squares make a larger square at Millet's farm, Oxfordshire...

Diversity
We stayed at my sister-in-law's in Oxfordshire. Check out the diversity in size of those courgettes from their garden!

Rough
A rough edge of the sign showing where Uffington Castle once stood.

Bow


There are Perhaps Contraption taking a bow at the end of their concert (ha, one from the archives!)

Joy

I know many joyful things but this week, joy was having a purring cat next to me! Hello Chloe!



Forgotten
This tyre looks forgotten at Millet's Farm!

Crowd
What a crowd of cuddlies!!!

Colourless
Shudder! Check out this colourless jellyfish we saw on the beach at Burnham-on-Crouch during the aforementioned walk!

Friendly
These birds in the butterfly house at Blenheim Palace were so tame and friendly, they didn't bat an eyelid as I stood next to them with a lens shoved in their faces!

Whatever you want

A waterlily at Blenheim as we took a walk alongside the lake, the walk was designed by Capability Brown! (I have to tell you this story-as I typed this, I SUDDENLY couldn't remember his name, nor could CBC- we went mad trying to remember his name which I remembered as Constance Reliance at first! DUH!)
We saw this Easyjet plane in the sky as we stood by the river, I enjoyed zooming into it!

Thanks to Greenthumb for another fun Scavenger Hunt!

  2. Oh my how is it the end of the month already!? I might have to dip into my archives to finish the list...
    I love your rough picture, and joy obviously! Your walk looks beautiful and I like the friendly birds :)
    Don't you just hate it when you know you know something but can't recall it - so frustrating, but doesn't it feel great when it pops into your head?!

  4. How did you know is was bow [rhyme with cow] not bow [rhyme with crow] or is there a violinist with a bow, making a bow, among the musicians [or a girl with a bow in her hair]

  6. Wonderful photos! I especially like Rough - that would make a lovely framed print. You've got me feeling inspired. Maybe I'll get started on September's list!

  8. I enjoyed this post. I love that first photo full of different swirling colours and the blue water on the horizon. Chloe is beautiful. A great capture of the end-of-concert bow. The flat maze and the cuddlies made me smile.

  13. A great collection - and you're on time too ;) !! I love colourless, horizontal, square and forgotten!

    To answer your earlier questions, no those are the Elizabeth Bennett rocks - mine are The Roaches in the Staffordshire Moorlands and I'm sure Elizabeth was on Stanage Edge, a little north.

    I don't know what the beetle is... I'd not see one like that before and have tried to identify it but no luck yet.

  14. Your collection of SH photos is always fun, Kezzie! I look forward to it each month, on time or late!! Rough was great!!! And so was cute Chloe! I should have known that you would interpret bow as a performance bow, music teacher and all. Nautical me thought of the bow of a ship, and others decorative bows on kiddos and girls. Hope all is well with you and that you school year gets off to a good start!
