Photo Scavenger Hunt - July 2011

Here are my entries for this month's Photo Scavenger Hunt.  Thanks as always to Kathy at Postcards from the PP for setting the topics for each month and I see that August's list is on her blog now!   Here is a - link- to the other participants.

A Flag

A Kite

Celebration
I really struggled with this one as we have no birthdays or anniversaries in July so I decided to interpret it in my own way by taking a photo down by the Caldon canal in celebration of the beauty of nature and of being close to such lovely countryside.

    I love your photos this month! I have a similar one for 'happy'! I'm a bit behind schedule with moving Dave over the last two days AND I accidentally deleted the photos I had ready to post - oops! Now the moving is all done I can get to work on my scavenger post this evening, along with reading two days worth of blog posts!

    I'm impressed with the home made kite and love the deckchairs! I like the way you captured the fields and the way you portrayed celebration too.

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    Homemade kites are the best!!
    Great photos this month. I'm looking forward to getting started on August's list; however, it looks a bit harder than July's list.

    I wonder if Torbay Borough Council buy their deckchairs from the same suplier as those you have photographed, for I did the same last week, also with them being windblown!

    And on your pile of books, I've got and read The Fossil Hunter and very much enjoyed it!

    Lovely photos!

    Wonderfully fascinating images! Love those chairs blowing in the wind! And a lovely interpretation of "celebration". And the teapot...how clever is that? Annette

    oh yes, we snapped the very same van and it was in the same place when I was there. when I saw it I thought of the scavenger hunt straight away but I had no recollection of seeing it here on your post - shame on my observational skills!
