Here are my photos for this month's Photo Scavenger Hunt. A lot of them are taken at home as I haven't been out and about very much this month. Thanks as always to Kathy at Postcards from the P.P. for coming up with the monthly challenges. Here is a link to some of the other participating blogs.
A Lucky Charm
A little black pottery cat with Looe stamped on its back. I'm not sure if I bought it whilst on holiday or if it was given to me after someone else's holiday. I've kept it since I was a child and it lives in my 'treasures' box.
A Poppy
Well, a poppy seed head anyway. I collected some earlier this year from the garden and dried them out and placed them in a vase. I made this photo black and white as it shows more detail that way.
A Self-portrait
Taken in the bathroom mirror. I've done this one in sepia tone just as an experiment.
Comfort Food
A bowl of Macaroni Cheese is always comforting!
Memorial
A memorial in the churchyard of St Mary's, Attenborough, Nottinghamshire to all the civilian workers who lost their lives in an explosion at the National Shell Filling Factory in nearby Chilwell on 1st July 1918. One hundred and thirty seven men and women were killed - only thirty two of them could be positively identified. They were buried in a mass grave in the churchyard. Two hundred and fifty people were injured. The blast was heard over 20 miles away. Photo taken on 26th November.
Polka Dots
I'm never sure of the difference between spots and polka dots but anyway this is the spotty Aga at the Emma Bridgewater Factory Shop, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent.
Silhouette
Of a finger-post taken at The Longshaw Estate in Derbyshire on 19th November. It was an extremely sunny day so just right for taking a silhouette.
Something Purple
A cyclamen growing in the hot-house at Buxton Pavilion, Buxton, Derbyshire taken on 12th November.
Something that lights up
A display case in the Museum in Buxton, Derbyshire
Something you have made
A Coffee and Walnut Cake for a friend's birthday.
Staircase
Staircase in the upstairs art gallery of The Beetroot Tree, Draycott, Derbyshire taken on 26th November.
Warmth
A warming bowl of Broccoli and Stilton soup for lunch much appreciated after a brisk walk in the chilling wind.
That's it for this month - just one more to go!

Lovely photos, especially like the polka dot range!!!! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by and commenting on my photos. The biggest thing I ever got around to making was a collar for my sister to put on a dress she was making - did want to make a table cloth at one point but it would have taken forever!!!!
I love the spotty aga. A great set of photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of photos. I wouldn't mind a bowl of that delicious looking soup followed by a slice of that yummy cake ;-)
