Photo Scavenger Hunt #93

Photo Scavenger Hunt #93




Photo Scavenger Hunt #93 will be due on Sunday. October 22, at 11:00 PM EST.



The subject this week is:
  "broken, torn, or run-down"

To play take some photos of the given subject and leave a link to your entry at Val's journal. Val has very kindly been looking after the Photo Hunt since Krissy has been spending her time looking after John.
I had to have a forage through my old entries for this subject. I only seem to take pics of nice looking things.... pretty coloured trees, cats and scenery. I found a few run down things though!
The first is the West Pier, the only Grade 1 listed pier in the country which took a severe battering from storms and arson attacks leaving it fit only as a roost for gulls and other birds.

The second is a pair of old petrol (gas) pumps that I found at Stanmer Park this summer. They were part of the museum exhibits. I vaguely remember pumps like these, just shows how old I'm getting!

Next is an old tractor I saw at Morse Maple Syrup Farm in Vermont last year, I definitely remember seeing farmhands out on these when I was young!

Last is a very old plough also at the maple syrup farm. These old farm tools are quite a work of art!

Photo Scavenger Hunt #92.


       


Photo Scavenger Hunt #92 will be due on Sunday. October 15, at 11:00 PM EST.


The subject this week is:
  "Trees, leaves, and anything changing!"

It's time for the Photo Scavenger Hunt hosted by Val who's looking after it till Krissy is ready to take it back.
I'm putting on some more photos of New England this week ( Just how many did I take?! )
The fall colours are absolutely exquisite there, it really is better in real life than any publicity photos. So, with no more ado here's my entry.

Photo Scavenger Hunt #91

 It's photo scavenger hunt time again.

This weeks subject is Sunsets and sunrises or the sky in general. I don't get to see the sunrise but as my flat faces west I do get a great view of the sun setting. Just lately we've had the tail end of a few tropical storms which produce great clouds that make the sunset good viewing.
Thesae are my selection for the hunt this week, hope you like them!
Thank you Donna for the appropiate signature tag!

Photo Scavenger Hunt #90



      


Photo Scavenger Hunt #90 will be due on Sunday, October 1, at 11:00 PM EST.


The subject this week is:
  "Autumn"

Interpret this any way you like and have fun!

Oh! This one's easy! I just have to go back to my New England pics for this! It was great sharing fall with the people up in New England last year, such a wonderful place with spectacular scenery. Riding up mountains in cable cars, going to the top of the Olympic ski jump in a chair lift, visiting maple syrup farms, whale watching off Cape Cod! It was all such fun and I came home with lots of pics and memories.
Here are a few of the photos I've picked to share with you.

The third one was taken at Dollywood the year before last but I thought I'd include it as it was the fall when I was there and I love pumpkins too!

Photo Scavenger Hunt #89.

       

Photo Scavenger Hunt #89 will be due on Sunday, September 24, at 11:00 PM EST.

Once again I'm playing Krissy's Photo Scavenger Hunt. I looked through past photos I've taken to see what I clas as my favourite things. Here are but a few!

Firstly there's flowers, these I took at Leonardslee Gardens in May this year.

Second is the season of autumn which is coming up fast! I took this photo in New England last year.

This I took as we crossed Lake Winnepasaukee in New Hampshire.

My next favourite thing is Yellowstone Park, Wyoming. The geysers and lakes were awe inspiring!

I also love the beach, I think this one in Province Town was so pretty!

On the same subject, I loved Tunnels beach on Kauai, one of the Hawaiian islands. Funny how beaches differ, this one was the setting for the film South Pacific, it was so peaceful.

Another tranquil beach I found was in Borneo, this was at Turtle Island, a beautiful place!

If I'm not on a beach one of my favourite things is to go for boat rides, this was at Cape Cod last autumn.

Stillm on a water theme I love waterfalls, this was one I took in March at Iguassu Falls, Brazil.

And I couldn't really finish this entry without putting in my very favourite things could I?! Nina and Katinka!

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my favourite things, I have many more but my mind has gone blank!
