Scavenger Photo Hunt - March

It's time for the Scavenger Photo Hunt again and this month's words/prompts are Flat, Wheel, Swing, Ragged, Pot, My own choice

Flat - as a pancake, photo taken on Shrove Tuesday when we had pancakes for lunch.



Wheel - well two on a cycle hanging on the wall of a pub or club in Congleton, Cheshire.


Swing - photo taken in the Nicholson Institute Museum and Library in Leek where there is an exhibition called 'Through the Eyes of a Child' these were fairground toys.


Ragged - I didn't get to see and photograph a Ragged School in Sneinton, Nottingham (now the headquarters of the Nottingham Wildlife Trust)  as I had planned to do but I did find a packet of Ragged Robin seeds at a local garden centre.

Pot - Found on Priesty Fields, Congleton in 1992 and full of coins dating from the reign of Edward VI (1547-1553) through to the reign of Charles II with coins dated as late as 1670. From a display at Congleton Museum.


 My Own Choice - Lots of daffodils at Trentham Gardens, Stoke-on-Trent they looked lovely in the sunshine.

    I was trying to find a photo I have taken of ragged robin last summer but couldn't find it. They are such beautiful flowers. Great shot for wheels and the flat pancake. X

    What a lovely selection of photos to match the words. The daffodils at Trentham Gardens look so pretty. The pancake looks delicious! :) The bicycle on the wall is very unusual and it goes without saying I rather like the pack of seeds!! :) Have a good week Rosie.

      Thank you, RR - Trentham is looking good at the moment. The pancakes were delicious with orange juice on them. I'm sure you must have some ragged robin in your garden. Hope you too have a lovely weekend:)

    Lovely photos Rosie. I loved your take on flat & the pancake looks delicious too. You've also jogged my memory with the swingboats & how we saw them at fairs that traveled around the countryside to agricultural shows etc. and the bevy of daffodils is stunning. Thanks for sharing & have a good weekend.

      Thank you Susan, I remember people saying 'it's as flat as a pancake' when talking about tyres on cars or bikes that had punctured. Hope you too have a lovely weekend:)

    Funnily enough- I had been looking for a photo of a ragged robin - I am pretty sure I have one sOmEwHeRe in my archives and eventually gave up and used a cornflower - clever you!

      Thank you, Karen. The contrast between the bike and walls is more noticeable than when I took the photo, the bike really stands out:)

    An interesting set of photos for the scavenger hunt photo challenge. I'm sure you enjoyed finding images that represented each word. I like your interpretation of 'flat' which made me think of 'as flat as a pancake'. Very good! I hope you are well after your dental appointments and you have a relaxing weekend.

    Another interesting interpretation of this month's words. We have Ragged Robin growing in our fields but I've still to get a decent photo of them! That was my original idea for ragged but had to change my mind. I never tire of seeing daffodils, never. So for me that is my favourite photo.

      Thank you, my first thought on ragged was The Ragged Schools but very few are still standing so I was pleased to see the Ragged Robin seeds in the garden centre. Daffodils are so bright and cheerful aren't they:)

    I love daffodils too, to me they mean spring and warmer weather and longer days. That yellow bike on the white wall is a fantastic photograph and as for that pancake...............yum!

    Lovely photos Rosie - Those daffodils are gorgeous and I love your flat as a pancake - making me hungry :) How clever to use Ragged Robin - I didn't know that's what that flower was called.
